There is so much I could say about how incredible Washington DC is. We visited the city during the cherry blossom blooms and it was unreal. I loved the historical monuments, museums, and of course, all the delicious food.
where to stay
We stayed at the Grand Hyatt Washington, and I found this location to be central to a lot of the places we wanted to visit. The hotel was clean, spacious and the rooms seemed to be recently updated.
must eat: washington dc
- Martin’s Tavern – A famous restaurant in Georgetown! You absolutely have to try the French onion soup, it’s ranked #1 in DC for a reason. Fun fact – JFK proposed to Jackie in a booth here.
- Unconventional Diner – A modern take on comfort food. This is one of those places that just has good vibes and delicious eats. The chicken parmesan florentine is chefs kiss!
- Iron Gate Restaurant – Craving something more romantic? Check out Iron Gate for a unique fine dining experience.
- Duke’s Grocery – For the best burger in city, check this place out! I also loved the fish & chips!
- Pearl’s Bagels – Probably the best bagel I’ve ever had. This is a great breakfast location but they have limited seating and the line is typically out the door. Be sure to order ahead!
