The Red Hen

Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of Washington DC! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things DC for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of: ☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries 🌮 Local cuisine 🏛️ Museums of all kinds 🌳 Gardens & parks 🛏️ Boutique hotels 🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access! *Great public transportation; I suggest getting Metro Pass.

After going to college in the area, and spending the majority of my twenties in DC, I amassed a collection of favorites bars, restaurants, activities, and coffee shops. Here you'll find my tried and true favorites, plus some recommendations from my current local friends there.
