An eclectic pan-American hole-in-wall. Mara and I had our first date here.

Easy place for quick burrito or taco. I personally like their carnitas torta sandwich (for those who eat meat). Their special sour cream sauce brings both heat and immense flavor.

Marx has a reliable, decently priced brunch and is rarely crowded. Like all others on this list, it is also very close.

If you want easy take-out Peruvian chicken, get the half chicken with fried yucca. A house favorite for comfort food. The menu has much more for those interested. My neighbors swear by their pupusas.

Reliable Thai. Not cheap, but pretty good. For take-out, recommend Zabver, which has pan-Asian and more options.

Shopping

Steps away and great for simple produce, fresh bread, eggs, milk, locally roasted coffee, wine, beer, etc. Prices slightly higher than nearby Safeway, Target, Harris Teeter, etc. But, again, it is a 30 second walk! They also have a decent meat counter and deli. Oh, and the Trickling Springs Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream is stellar.

This is the closest spot to buy spirits. Wine and beer selection is better than Each Peach, but it is an additional 15 seconds on foot. You decide. :-)

Essentials

This is the closest dry cleaner and is family-run. Reliable but not terribly quick if here for a short time.

This metro station has a little bit of everything. Target, Marshalls, Bed Bath Beyond, and Best Buy for shopping. Food options are many: Chipotle, Chik-Fil-A, Panda Express, Panera Bread, Five Guys, Pete's Pizza, Potbelly, Cava, and much more. The Heights is one of the nicer sit-down restaurants. There is another beer/wine store (perhaps with better selection than the others listed here) called Divines. The list goes on.

Drinks & Nightlife

This is not a grill. It is a dive bar. Often empty. Sometimes has a couple drinkers. Or hipsters. Sometimes many. Pabst in the can is cheap. Only food is Utz potato chips and Slim Jims.

Entertainment & Activities

Suns is a bar and tiny, informal movie screening room that shows old films of varying quality. Like everything on this list, a less than five minute walk. In this case, a ~55 second walk.

Sightseeing

Historic Mt. Pleasant has a self-guided walking tour. It is interesting if you want to get a sense of the neighborhood's history.

Parks & Nature

It is just down the hill and extends down to VA and up to MD. If you want to walk in the woods, that's your place.

A medium-sized city park just a few blocks from the house, in case you'd like to throw a frisbee or take a morning stroll.
