My husband and I just bought a house right next to the Wharf, and it's changing by the day. We're so looking forward to the new spots that will be there! I love your list and there are too many great restaurants here to ever fit into one list but you've done a fabulous job. If I could add a couple of suggestions, Domku, next to Petworth Citizen is one of my favorites for Swedish soul food, and Cafe Leopold is (quite literally) a hidden gem in Georgetown. B Too, Belga Cafe, and Brasserie Beck are all amazing for Belgian cuisine too.
Really loved this spotlight on DC Mrs. Wheelbarrow :)

Chaia, my friend Bettina Stern's new vegetarian taco place in Georgetown has been getting rave reviews.

Garden District at 14th and U is one of the best places to be on a beautiful day with a small but delicious beer menu and some of DC's best bbq (seriously, the staples like pulled pork and brisket are great but the short rib when they have it is fantastic). It's also very reasonably priced by DC standards and excellent people watching. Get there around opening on a weekend though, or you'll be standing.

I have to add Toki Underground for amazing ramen and Alfie's for the best Thai I've had since living in Bangkok!

Metro trains and busses are a great way to get around -- please don't encourage more drivers on DC roads!

Just FYI to anyone coming to DC in the near future, Metro has been having some problems with aging infrastructure and can be unreliable on weekends particularly. Check their website for track closures and single tracking ahead of time!

Maketto! For locally roasted Vigilante coffee in the morning, and for the best goddamn Taiwanese/Cambodian food in the evening.

Rock Creek Park is a little over 4 square miles. Philadelphia's Fairmount Park is over 14 square miles - and I'm not sure it is the largest urban park in the U.S. Thus, Rock Creek Park is in no way the largest urban park in the U.S.

You're absolutely right! One of those urban myths I've been repeating for decades. Color me embarrassed.

My favorite eatery in DC, for many years, has been the Dancing Crab. Crab, salad, and beer are perfect. Mallet and butcher paper tablecloth provided.

I've tried finding anything on them, everything I've found says they cancelled their renovations and are now permanently closed? Is this correct?
