Baked & Wired
What's better, cake or cupcake?? Well lucky for you, you don't have to decide. Baked & Wired created the perfect combination of cake and cupcake, Cakecup. Not as big as a cake but not as small as a cupcake. Their Cakecup is super moist and has a delicious frosting. Pair that with a warm coffee or some hot chocolate, and you are living the life.

Filomena Ristorante
If you tell an Italian that your favorite Italian restaurant is Pizza Hut, I don't think that would go very well. Instead, if you tell him your favorite Italian restaurant is Filomena Ristorante, then there is no way you don't have his respect. Known for their amazing pasta dishes, Filomena knows how to make everything from Angel Hair to Ziti. Their gnocchi is my personal favorite for its subtle but delicious flavor. Located at 1063 Wisconsin Ave NW, Washington, DC 20007.

Zaytinya
If you have not tried the Michelin Star, José Andrés -owned restaurant, Zaytinya, then you are missing out. Their Mediterranean cuisine makes American cuisine look like fast food. They blend a mixture of spices, oils, and herbs to create something exceptional. Their flatbreads are sensational, and I 100% recommend. Located at 701 9th St NW, Washington, DC 20001.

Ben's Chili Bowl
Let me just get one thing out of the way. This is NOT a hot dog. It might look like a wiener in a bun, but trust me, it is very different. This is a Washington staple, the half-smoke. And there is no better place to get this Washington delicacy than at Ben's Chili Bowl. This local eatery has served the best half-smoke for over 60 years!
