"Everything offered at Shouk is "'whatever your diet is' friendly," so you can bring all of your friends to this plant-based K Street eatery. Choose from seven different pita creations, or go for the rice and lentil bowl option to enjoy your veggies sans-pita. You can also get a pita pizza, fries, soup, salad, a tomato "burger," and house-made drinks."
"Fare Well is a full-service bistro and bar that also offers takeaway food and bakery items on H Street NE. Owned by Doron Petersan, D.C.’s first plant-based dining establishment has chef Amanda Desaulniers behind the helm, who produces freshly prepared cuisine on site each day. Dishes include cashew cheddar, garlic and onion potato pierogis served with sautéed greens and sauerkraut, and cavatelli with rapini and seitan sausage as well as a mushroom-chickpea burger with sunflower seeds, garlic aioli, walnuts, and caramelized onions. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the restaurant is a boutique coffee shop, serving pastries, fresh-baked bread, and other sweets in the morning, and a friendly neighborhood bistro for lunch and dinner."
"Some new offering for you on this chilly Tuesday, special side items for today are White Beans & Spinach, and... Fare Well is a bakery, diner and bar, serving “veggie-centric comfort food.” Besides the vegan cakes in the bakery, there is also a range of daily and weekend brunch dishes. Small plates include options like French Toast Sticks, Tofu Scramble and Roasted Potatoes."
"Fare Well is the very first vegetarian/vegan restaurant in the district and was voted the best among other similar establishments in 2017. But, they also offer great-tasting cakes in classic flavors that are still vegan or vegetarian friendly."
"Consider ordering from one “$” places in Washington like Pizza and Wings in Dupont Circle, Shawarma Hut in Park View, West Wing Cafe in West End, and DC Wings in Cardozo for a more affordable order."

"Events at this park’s nature center can fill up the parking lot and draw visitors on nice weekend days. But head into the woods to connect to other trails that flow under the George Washington Parkway, in the direction of the Potomac, and you can walk for miles—toward either the banks of the river itself, Roosevelt Island, or the less-traveled (and warning: wilder) path heading north toward Chain Bridge. Don’t miss the park’s small exhibit with live rescued owls."
"There’s more than a pretty view of the Potomac at this park, which offers miles of trails with varying degrees of difficulty, educational gardens and exhibitions, an outdoor summer concert series, and kids’ summer camp."
"DC's best meditation spot has to be the West Potomac Park, the area between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. It includes the Tidal Basin, which shimmers pink when the beautiful cherry trees bloom around March or April (according to spring's whim)."
"This is a national park adjacent to the National Mall, west of the Tidal Basin and the Washington Monument. Major attractions in the area include Constitution Gardens, the Reflecting Pool, the Vietnam, Korean, Lincoln, Jefferson, World War II, and FDR memorials."
"Botanic Garden, this park is located across the street from the conservatory. A beautifully landscaped flower garden has as its centerpiece, a classical style fountain that was created by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the French sculptor who also designed the Statue of Liberty. Independence Avenue & First Street SW, Washington, D.C."
"is that it looks like a small place, but it’s surprising how much walking you do when you're here. Walking in and between the museums, monuments, and other landmarks, you’ll be exhausted if you don’t pace yourself...."
"This residence-turned-museum is known as the “Brewmaster’s Castle.” It is a lesser-known building that once housed the world’s oldest brewer, known as Christian Heurich. Heurich is recognized as the city’s most successful brewer. During his life, he was D.C.’s second largest landowner and largest non-governmental employer."
"Heurich House Museum is a Gilded Age mansion in Washington DC's Dupont Circle neighborhood. The house museum preserves the legacy of historic brewer Christian Heurich. The museum offers one-hour-long tours every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 11:30am, 1:00pm, and 2:30pm."
"Referred to as the Brewmaster's Castle, the Heurich House in Dupont Circle is known for beer-focused events throughout the year. Every Thursday, it hosts a live “HOME/BREWED” exhibit in the site’s private backyard. View this post on Instagram"
"The cooking might be composed of strapping plates of Russian and Uzbek fare, but to get the most out of a meal at this dandelion-yellow dining room, it helps to approach it as you would dim sum: Focus on the myriad dumplings and pastries that make up the front end of the menu. There are sesame-sprinkled, flaky pirozhki filled with silky potato purée and mushrooms; caviar-topped tarts filled with cream cheese; and samsa, thin turnovers filled with ground lamb. It’s easy to stuff yourself silly on just those, but it’d be a shame to ignore the Uzbek specialty plov, a heaping platter of gently spiced rice with hunks of lamb, or the old-school dessert tray—you’ll want to head straight for the cloud-like honey-nut cake."
"Russian and Uzbek dishes appear alongside each other at this neighborhood restaurant, which serves sharp vinaigrette salads, plump manti dumplings, and savory pastries such as samsa and pirozhki. The Uzbek section of the menu tends to edge out the Russian fare (including the country’s national dish, rice-based plov), but there are still solid examples of the latter including beef stroganoff and chicken Kiev. The restaurant infuses its own vodka, but a simple Moscow mule is a pleasure during a sunny day on the patio."
"is a cozy restaurant located in the ground floor of an apartment complex in the Ballston neighborhood. It presents a blend of Russian and Uzbek traditional cuisine by the hand of chef and owner Bakhtiyor Rakhmatullaev. Seasonal menus are prepared with high-quality ingredients."
