Mozzeria DC
Yummy neapolitan style pizzas with great flavor combinations.
By far our favorite restaurant in DC! Between the environment of the restaurant and the incredible Middle Eastern food, you can't go wrong. Be sure to book in advance, as the restaurant is usually packed, and books fast.

Sightseeing
Arboretum grounds open Monday-Friday 8A-5P
National Bonsai & Penjing Museum is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m
The Arboretum is a great place to get out for a walk with miles of trails throughout its 446 acres of gardens and grounds.
The Arboretum is home to the National Capitol Columns. The permanent installation features 22 Corinthian columns that supported the east portico of the U.S. Capitol when it was built in 1828. Once the dome of the Capitol was completed in 1864, builders realized that the columns were not properly constructed to support the dome, creating an odd and unsettling visual. The strange aesthetic was not solved until 1958, and it took until the 1980s for the columns to find their resting place on the Ellipse Meadow in the Arboretum. Now, the site of the columns serves as one of the most beautiful sights in the nation’s capital.
Plenty of free parking.
