Crash the Inauguration

Thanks everyone, including our DC blogger Pali, for your help ‘Crashing the Inauguration’! It was a monumental occasion, and we were proud to help you either find accommodations, or post rooms in DC.

We reported on Georgetown Cupcake , several posts ago and decided to go in and check them out to see what places they like to eat so people coming into town like, You, would have some places to scout out. Here are the places one of the owners and some of their employees said were really good.

Peacock cafe , Cafe Milano (tends to be packed, has a nice bar/seating area), —FILOMENA —HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (has very cool pasta and amazing desserts), Nathan’s (A great brunch place), Fahrenheit Ritz Carlton Georgetown (nice bar and resturant.very nice) (All these places are in or around Georgetown ).

Good Stuff Eatery (opened up by a chef that was on Top Chef ), Bourbon Steak (great steak!), both are on Pennsylvania Ave.

M Street is a great place to venture off on.

For High End Shopping or if you’re itching to visit a nice shopping/residential area…Chevy Chase is Nice. Next to Chevy Chase is Bethesda and Burger Joint is a nice place to eat at in Bethesda.

Dupont Circle was mentioned as an enjoyable place to go.

We appreciate your help, Georgetown Cupcake, and Thank You for all your advice!

We went to Gallaudet University and met, Kami, an undergraduate student who happily recommended these places to go and eat at ….and aren’t pricy at all:

ADAMS MORGAN: Busboys & Poets (A restaurant, bookstore, fair trade market and gathering place,  Ben’s Chili Bowl (Adams Morgan)

PENNSYLVANIA AVE: Capitol Lounge & Good Stuff Eatery

H-STREET: Granville Moore

GEORGETOWN: Benihana (great Japanese cooking)

And here are museums that Kami said are good:

CHINATOWN: National Crime and Punishment & Spy Museum

NATIONAL MALL AREA: Holocaust Museum , Newseum & Hirshhorn Art Museum

Thank you for your help Kami!

A native resident of the Maryland/DC Area (parent of crashtheinaguration.com’s blogger), just ate at Zaytinya and highly recommends it. It’s really good….well priced….and located right next to the gallery place metro stop in Chinatown.
