This new place is all the rage. The menu is unusual (expect to have to google several items before you order) but those who love it, REALLY love it. Certainly a place to try if you feel a little creative. Look for it on YELP where you will find detailed reviews that describe it well.

Rock Creek Park runs the length of NW from the National Mall to the northern tip of the city. One entrance to it is just a 5 minute walk from the apartment. The walking / biking trail has exercise stations along the way if that's your thing but also just a great place for a walk or jog.
