Off Campus Eats

Truth be told, there is a time when you get tired of J Street. It's time to explore DC! Here are a few of my favorite off campus eats:

Baked and Wired (1052 Thomas Jefferson in Georgetown): There is always the debate over what cupcake reigns DC, and in my opinion- Georgetown Cupcake is overrated. Baked and Wired is a cute little café with DELICIOUS cupcakes and Stumptown coffee (maybe I'm biased because it's from Portland, OR). 

Mr Yogato (1515 17^th Street NW in Dupont): The most delicious frozen yogurt place in DC is also fun! Mr Yogato is a funky little froyo shop with some free toppings, a playstation with Tetris, and crazy rules that will give you discounts! 

Prince Café of Georgetown: Though it is mostly a hookah bar, their Indian food is authentic- delicious hummus, mango juice, and butter chicken. Pay attention to your bill here as the hookah charges per person and they include tax!

Founding Farmers (1924 Penn in Foggy Bottom): Right at the edge of campus is this upscale eco-conscious restaurant that deserves some buzz. During move in and Parent’s Weekend, it proved impossible to get a reservation at any time of day. With it’s modern American fare, everything is made in house. I recommend their brunch menu (including Tillamook cheese from Oregon!).
