Grab a chop't salad and hang out near the chess benches for great "crazy guy" eavesdropping. Look out for dog poop - not everyone is conscientious.
Great people watching, grab a cup of coffee, take in a game of chess.
Play chess!
I loved Wunder Garten! It's such a cool space, complete with human sized chess! Their drinks are also super cheap for a great quality. I loved their cider, only $6!
Great place to have a beer with friends. Few options for food, though - they only have a food truck with burgers and fries.
Find Joe the bartender and give him all of your money.
Burgers, beer and chess.
One of my favorite dive bars in DC. Beer. Fried mac and cheese. Grilled cheese and sweet potato fries.
Natural Bohemian for $2? Check. But try the Old Chub.
Wanna play chess? I'm always up for a game and live across the street. Let me know and I'll come down to play.
Love the cappuccinos, great patio in the summer, and really cute dinners on weeknights. Be warned, wifi only works during weekdays
Sunday mornings read your paper over coffee, then (in season) browse the farmers' market
One of the top burgers in DC here called, appropriately, the Proper Burger: two patties topped with Gouda, charred red onion, sweet chili sauce, dill pickles, rocket & garlic aioli on a brioche bun.
This is a neighborhood shop dedicated to scratch cooking. It draws inspiration from East London, but the sandwiches are just as much influenced by Argentine or Vietnamese street vendors. Read more.
What's that creeping? Oh, just stacks on stacks of brined brisket, w/ house pickles spilling out between toasted rye. Read more.
Great hotel with fabulous staff. Front desk, concierge and doormen (Erwing and Victor) are amazing. They can certainly be mentors for outstanding customer service!
The beds are so comfortable.
Very convenient location next to starbucks, cvs and walgreens and the metro
Fun stuff in dupont, watching chess stopping to eat....
Cool place with super fast and friendly service. Try quinoa with yogurt and fruit. Soy milk available. Very cute old fashioned bookstore upfront.
President Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia shoped at Kramerbook & Afterwords Cafe. Read more.
Try the mac and chesse...was pretty good. Steak looked delicious too
The drinks are strong and the steaks are delicious. Specialty cocktails are a must have and try the rib-eye. You won't be sorry.
p.s. Asked to speak to Manager 3x. He refused, 3x. Final time, waiter said, "Manager is too busy. You can go." Oh, can I? "You don't have to pay." "You didn't give me food!" Lost Society = LOST CAUSE.
Liz S is trippin! Have the best margarita on the eastern seaboard! Chips and salsa are out of this world! My dish of choice is Pollo Asda and I just can't get enough of the side walk or rooftop!
The strawberry swirl margaritas are the best.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
