"Nasime Japanese Restaurant brings upscale yet affordable authentic Japanese cuisine to King Street’s restaurant scene. This is a small and intimate eatery presided over by Chef Yuh, who has over fifteen years experience in the kitchen and is waiting to tantalize your taste buds with made-from-scratch Japanese delicacies. The fixed-price menu changes daily to showcase whatever is fresh on the day but you can always expect at least five courses, one of which will be a sashimi and one a delicious frozen dessert."

"Izakaya Seki in the U Street Corridor, is another pricey go-to, with four stars out of 415 Yelp reviews. Head over to 1117 V St. NW to see for yourself. Yelper Kathy T., who reviewed Izakaya Seki on Feb. 29, wrote, "I think the one dish that wowed me the most was the baby squid. My cousin also ordered the beef tartare and beef tongue, both of which I never tried before. The beef tartare also had a raw egg in it, and after mixing it with the beef, gave it a creamy taste. After that meal, I learned that I really like beef tongue, which was very buttery and soft."

"There is something special about being able to see a master at work. That's the experience you will get watching Chef Hiroshi Seki serve up minimal yet exquisite Japanese dishes at Izakaya Seki. Try some of their raw offerings like Hokkaido scallop carpaccio or tuna sashimi."

"Izakaya Seki is tucked into an unassuming and narrow, two-floor row house. Choose to eat upstairs in the dining room or downstairs at the chef’s bar. Either choice is equally no-frills; coat hooks are just about the only décor."

"Two blocks south of Old Town's Market Square, this urban oasis known by locals as the Tot Lot is a favorite for locals and tourists. Park Features: Large sandbox, double teeter totter, tunnel slide, double slide, two climbing features, and two bucket swings"

"This park in Adams Morgan is complete with colorful murals, basketball court, dog park, soccer field (permit required), and playground. It has a cool African American and Quaker cemetery with graves dating back to 1807."

"This park, located next to Freedom Plaza and across from the Willard Intercontinental Hotel, offers a nice place for relaxing and eating. The park is going to be redesigned as the World War I Memorial. 14th Street & Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C."

"Even at noon on a sunny weekday, the lights are dimmed, the shades are closed, and the air is musky with incense at this white-tablecloth Ethiopian dining room. Nobody seems to care—all the better to focus on the cooking, which serves vegetarians and vegans particularly well. No veggie sampler in the area comes close to the one here, with its round of injera holding a rainbow of vivid little piles."

"This is a Friday-night only tasting experience with a fully vegan and raw menu that changes each month, but is absolutely worth planning in advance and making reservations for. The dishes are elegant, flavorful, and refined; the presentation is stunning, and the service is impeccable — you will forget that this is an all-raw meal. The kale chips make amazingly good bar snacks!"

"This fine dining experience is only offered on Friday nights in an upscale L Street townhouse and costs $75 per person. Elizabeth's Gone Raw offers a seven-course meal featuring aged cashew cheese, watermelon salad, and coconut bacon ice cream. In addition to being vegan, the entire menu is raw, which means nothing is cooked over 118 degrees."

"I was just introduced to this rooftop retreat in Adams Morgan, and it is an unassuming spot to watch the late night debauchery of Adams Morgan while devouring a slice of your favorite pizza pie. Head up three flights of stairs to experience this mellow terrace. 2436 18th St. NW,https://mellowmushroom.com/"
