An old-school indie bookshop for modern bibliophiles.
You’ll find more than bestsellers at Lost City: rare and used books stack the shelves, and there are titles on local DC and Adams Morgan history that you can’t find anywhere else. Lost City also hosts a full calendar of events and stocks curios that make for the perfect souvenirs for a friend back home.
A casual pizza joint with bottled spritzes and pizza by the slice.
Andy’s serves tasty, perfectly fired New York-style pizzas that you can enjoy without having to spring for a train ticket to NYC. It’s open until 2am on weekends for anyone in search of a midnight snack.
A destination for streetwear fans, speakeasy enthusiasts, and anyone looking for an excellent barber.
Part-barbershop, part-cocktail bar, part-retail store, Manifest has something for everyone. For fans of design, the space, outfitted by architectural firm Snarkitecture, is worth a trip alone.
Neighborhood dining at its finest.
Tail Up Goat and its sibling restaurant, Reveler’s Hour, are two of Adams Morgan’s most popular spots—and for good reason: you’ll find great service, constantly changing locavore menus, and truly fantastic wine offerings at both. Take a seat at Tail Up Goat for a mix of Mediterranean plates, or head to Reveler’s Hour for a pasta lover’s dream meal.
Middle Eastern cocktails and a great bar vibe.
18th Street is full of bars (making it a good place for a bar crawl, hint hint) but The Green Zone stands out for its truly unique drink offerings (you won’t find craft cocktails with flavors like Iraqi citrus and za’tar at your local) and there’s a full array of dishes like falafel and shawarma to go with them.
A top-notch taco shop.
Open late, with a full menu of Mexican fare and drinks, Taqueria al Lado really shines when it comes to its tacos, which are made with tortillas ground from corn in house. (The margaritas aren’t bad, either.)
A “waterpark” you can’t miss.
Located in Meridian Hill Park (just East of the LINE), Cascading Waterfall is a public art work from artist John Joseph Earley. One of the longest fountains of its kind in the U.S., the waterfall took inspiration from the architecture of 16th Century Italian villas.
A place to exhale.
For when you need a break or a deep breath: Unwind offers a variety massage services, from Swedish to deep tissue to reflexology, as well as body services like acupuncture, body wraps, and facials.
