Grab brunch at The Partisan, a comfy American eatery with a meat-focused menu and a butcher’s shop out front. Ask for seating at the whiskey bar, where you can try some of the creatively named whiskey-based cocktails as you chow down on delicious breakfast classics, as well as hearty sandwiches.
From there, you’re right in the heart of Smithsonian country, so peruse at your pleasure. Smithsonian attractions are totally free. Some of the closest options (that often have shorter lines to get inside, versus some of the more family-oriented Smithsonian museums) include the National Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
You’re also relatively close to Ford’s Theatre. Check the theater’s schedule and either catch an afternoon show or just take a historic tour.
Enjoy a late lunch at Dirty Habit, an edgy shared plates and cocktail restaurant situated inside a Kimpton property. If the weather is nice, grab a spot in the courtyard. Regardless of where you sit, you’ll want to order from the bar menu and share an array of appetizers with your pals. (Top picks include the brie and puff pastry, American wagyu tartare and rock shrimp tempura.)
After a walk along the National Mall (you’re a mere two blocks away), you’ll have built up an appetite again. Get dressed for dinner and then take an Uber to Birch and Barley, an acclaimed eatery serving craft cocktails, an array of beers and market-driven American eats in an intimate atmosphere. You can easily enjoy dinner for less than $30.
