Guidebook for Hyattsville
Food Scene
THE local hangout spot - grab a craft coffee and work on your memoir or catch up with friends. Try the new quasi-official DC pastry: the Kouign Amann. <-- I still get this but now Koulaches are the zeitgeist pastry. I get an Americano and add sugar and milk.

Parks & Nature
From here you can access the Anacostia Tributary trail system. It's about a mile to the trail head from our house through the lovely Hyattsville Historic District. There's also a new memorial park to Jim Henson who was born and raised in Hyattsville. There's also a great playground particularly for the littler ones. Basketball courts.

This is a good running option if you're looking to go 3 miles or more. Access to the branch trails is a mile in either direction from the Hygartenhaus but once on it you're connected to a vast network of trails. It's about 8 mile round trip run up to Lake Artemesia and back to house.

Standard mid-range grocery with a good parking garage. It's close to the PG Plaza Metro Station so could be a good option coming and going from there. Embraces its Hyattsville-ness.

The most budget friendly option - you need to drive there but there's plenty of parking. Near the West Hyattsville Metro station so a good place to stop to get essentials when coming from the Metro back to the house.

Closest pharmacy style store to the house. Best to drive there as the sidewalks are very narrow leading up to it unless you go on back streets.
