The BEST Mexican place around with strong margaritas. It is tiny so expect a wait, but it is worth it. Back patio is really nice in the Summer.

This is one of three locations - the main bakery. Wonderful food for breakfast and lunch. They have a location in an area called "NuLu" (downtown) where there are a lot of shops and restaurants. I believe that location is open for dinner. The third is a cafe inside The Speed Art Museum.

This place is unassuming from the outside as it is styled as a speakeasy. More expensive and a different feel from other bars in the neighborhood. They often have live jazz.

Nachbar
969 Charles StClassic Germantown hole-in-the-wall. Dog friendly.
Bar and restaurant. Great atmosphere, great drinks. I've had some of their food - this used to be a different bar that did not have a kitchen, so I spent a lot of time here pre-food. They often have live music or a DJ. They show movies/TV shows, have theme nights, etc. Never a cover charge.

Sightseeing
The Speed is beautiful. It underwent a huge renovation and reopened a few years ago. If you are around on a Sunday, it is free entry due to a sizable donation. Check out their website to see what exhibits they have. There is also a cinema which shows things like the RBG documentary.
