JR from Washington DC

I’m a native Washingtonian and have been in DC most of my life. I’m almost always on the go ―whether it’s at work as an emergency medical technician (EMT) or somewhere in the city even after I leave the hospital. In my free time, you’ll likely find me in one of three places: playing music, dancing, or playing sports. I like traveling, learning about good places to eat, and finding new music. ...

NoVA Ultimate Frisbee Washington DC

Play near the Pentagon

"There's an ultimate frisbee pick-up game that's been going on for years in a park across from the Pentagon City Mall in DC. It's so friendly and laid back there!"

Every every week in a park across from the Pentagon City Mall, there is an ultimate frisbee pick-up game.

This particular pick-up game has been going on for years. I honestly don't know if anyone can say how many years for sure. I like Virginia Highlands Ultimate pick-up games because the crowd that shows up is often friendly and laid back. The games are co-ed and very casual so both men and women of any skill level are welcome.

Games are every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday morning. You should check the Facebook page before you go to make sure the game is still on -- especially if it's raining or snowing.

One of the other things I like about this specific pick-up game is that it's easy to get to. If you're driving, there's a free parking lot directly in front of the field. If you're taking the Metro, the Pentagon City Metro Station is only two blocks away.

Lapis

Afghan in AdMo

The menu hosts a bevy of dumplings and small plates, heavy on veg - we loved the eggplant-based buranee bademjan as well as the gulpee!

Taco City D.C.

Tacos deliciosos

As far as I'm concerned, "Taco City D.C." makes the best tacos I've had anywhere. The fact it's so close to my house is dangerous for my bank account...

LeTena

Modern, fast, casual Ethiopian

"LeTena" Washington DC takes a slightly different approach with Ethiopian food, somewhere between being a restaurant & a casual place. I love the prices.
