Just a 7 minute walk from the unit- great for grabbing a bite at a local restaurant or picking up food or stuff at the nearby Target. Try Vace for Italian pizza or food to go! Sit at a local Indian or Asian restaurants for good bites! Even play pool at the local billiards space!
Cleveland Park
Closest metro, grocery store and CVS. Also great restaurant Sfoglia for a nice place or gran Pho or simple sandwiches from Stix or local pizza. Almost my absolute favorite wine and liquor and cheese shop- Calvert Woodley. They are a great business to support! Need items for your charcuterie board and a great bottle of wine- this is your place! Lastly, best bakery: Bread Furst! A must try.. go early, it’s always crowded.
