Guidebook for Washington
Food Scene
Daikaya is a locally hyped place just down 6th street, but the line is usually 1-3 hours. Reren just opened about 8 months ago and is starting to get extremely popular, but the wait is rarely more than 15 minutes tops. The Dan Dan noodle is incredible - I get it several times a week. Tell them Kevin sent you.

The Bacon Cheddar Biscuit and Goat Cheese + Herb Biscuit are amazing breakfast foods, and there is usually a 10-30 minute line just to get them. If you shop up past 11:30am they're probably sold out.

The best small bites in the area with amazing Japanese-American fusion dishes running $12-15 a plate. Avoid the sushi - it's okay but the highlight are the small dishes. I like this place better than Rose's Luxury, one of the most hyped restaurants in DC that does small plates and which just earned a Michelin Star. The inside is really classy as well - great date spot that won't break your bank.

Chic bar/small plates place with a really cool venue and incredible dishes. Right above the extremely popular Daikaya noodle restaurant in DC; while people wait hours to eat some ramen, head upstairs and get some unorthodox but delicious grub without a wait.

Drinks & Nightlife
One of the better, chilled out bars in all of DC and it's right down the street 2 minutes away. The top floor has heat lamps and nice string lights. I go here all the time.

Shopping
Ultra high-end luxury stores line the bottom floor of the recently opened City Center DC condos. A pretty area to walk through at night if nothing else.

Essentials
Just 5-10 minutes away, Safeway is a good grocery store in DC that is steps above Giant but maybe not quite Whole Foods level - which is perfect to me. They've got everything.
