Best pizza in the city in my opinion! Amazing share plates and simple Italian and seasonal appetizers as well. Can’t beat this cute, homey spot. It’s very small, but no reservations- only take walk ins.

The best little desserts, cookies, treats, etc, that you can grab and go. They have the most fun options and are always changing it up. Unicorn blondies and their chocolate cookies are to die for.

Don't let anyone tell you that Georgetown Cupcake has the best cupcakes. Go to Baked & Wired if you are in Georgetown for the massive "cake-cups" that are perfect to share, with hilarious (yet sometimes inappropriate) names. Favorites include...all of them.

AMAZING cocktails. Definitely pricey, but it is all about the experience and there is no other place quite like this in DC. The presentation of the cocktails is what makes this fun. Treat yourself! Kind of a speakesy vibe- must make a reservation and you have to be buzzed into the door.
