AMAZING French Restaurant. I love their peppercorn steak. It's one of most popular places in Logan.. Try and get a reservation. If you're just 2 people, you might be able to get a walk-in table or sit at bar if you're lucky.

LOVE this quaint little place on north end of Georgetown. Only been for breakfast/lunch but its amazing. Great omelettes, pastries, coffee, etc. If you go just as the open, usually the wait isn't bad (if any). To get here, just take Rock Creek Parkway down from neighborhood, exit on P Street and turn left at top of the hill. Continue all the way to Wisconsin.

Great pizza place in N. Columbia Heights/Petworth. It's not a bad walk on a nice evening at just over 1 mile from the house. My favorite pizza in the entire city and not a tourist place. Definitely a place the locals go.
