lounge
1212 18th St NW
A sprawling music venue where you can actually hear the band from any of its levels, tucked into a Dupont townhouse that doesn't feel cramped despite its size. Go here if you want to catch live music without the usual claustrophobia.
lounge
1223 Connecticut Ave NW
You walk into what feels like a nightclub that decided to become a garden party, all dangling flowers and neon against fake grass—it's aggressively fun, which works if you want to dance surrounded by enough visual stimulation to forget you're on Connecticut Avenue.
persian iranian restaurant
325 Morse St NE
Anyone seeking serious Persian cooking will find it here—bold, seasonal plates that taste like they've traveled the Silk Road, paired with thoughtful cocktails in a genuinely welcoming space.
pizza restaurant
2208 14th St NW
Thin-crust pizza from a brick oven hits different when you're in a place that feels genuinely Italian without trying too hard. Go if you want real food, not performance.
