Guidebook for Washington
Food Scene
Just on the south side of the National Cathedral, Open City's second location is a nice hidden gem that serves coffee, pastries, desserts, some sandwiches, and my favorite the Belgian Waffles. Also right next to the Bishop's Garden if you want to walk around and a big playground on the northeast side of the Cathedral.
