Food Scene
Sunshine Bar & Lounge
7331 Georgia Ave NWGood seafood. Great place for a date night or a nice dinner.
Great local diner - has kind of a 'greasy spoon' kind of feel, but good food at a VERY reasonable price. And on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays kids eat for free after 5pm (with some exceptions). We love going there for the chocolate chip pancakes.

Great dive bar. This used to be an old speak-easy back in the day. Amazing beer and whiskey selection. Note - it's hard to find from the street - it's in the basement of the building on the corner - go down the steps on the outside.
