What's your scene?

Think tanks, nonprofits, and startups - if I didn't have to work, that is :). But also love casual restaurants, historical attractions, whiskey bars, and sports leagues.

Eat your way across the city. The restaurant scene is solid these days. Also work the tinder/bumble scene (if you're single) whole you do it.

If you're athletic, definitely get into a running club of or exercise group too. Lots of options.

Any restaurant recs?

Washingtonian Top 100 is a great place to start and Michelin came for the first time ever last year.

Any by Mike Isabella or Jose Andres- they're two of the best groups in the area. Being a fat Italian kid from the Northeast, Filomena in Georgetown is near and dear, but you'll find better in NY. Any of the Michelin Star winners are solid but also hard to get into. Rasika is one of the best and underrated. If the hipster scene is your thing, Granville Moore's was the first, and is still one of the best, Gastropubs in town. On the VA side, J. Gilbert's is an awesome classic steakhouse and their barrel aged manhattan is a thing of beauty.

I could go on for hours, but what sort of stuff do you like?

What firm and what location, btw? In this town, you want to be a regular somewhere.

Good happy hour at The Front Page, Sette Osteria has great brunch and Italian food, breadsoda in Georgetown, check out Chinatown bars lile Fado, Hill country bbq on Wednesday nights has Live Band Karaoke. Other fun stuff is joining free events in the city (look up golden triangle dc) and go for a run in the mall, stop at a museum for a break and keep going! Enjoy DC. Beautiful city!
