My Mount Pleasant
Food Scene
Contemporary American surprises, fermented and seared, and at times pleasingly straight forward. My top spot if you’re only here for a night, plus it’s yards away. Great coffee and snacks (the breakfast sandwich, goodness gracious) in the morning to boot.

Walk in. Sip a pisco at the bar and contemplate the paella, a bib gormand and winner. Bask in this, a rare and perfected Spanish/Basque restaurant in DC.

The local hangout spot where you can also catch a Bergman or Almodovar film. Cocktails change every night based on the film, and the interior is wild, fun, and cunningly appointed. Ryan or David will take care of you and pass the popcorn.

Free, vast, and always full of furry (sometimes scale-y) friends. The address shows this as on Connecticut Avenue, but the closest entrance to our spot is down Kenyon at. About a half mile west.
