Is that a forest downtown?
“It can get awkward. When Washington, D.C.’s Rock Creek Park was created in 1890, the 1,750-acre national park sat on the fringe of the city. Today, it’s surrounded by dense urban neighborhoods, and not everyone’s thrilled about living in such close proximity to its wildlife.”

America’s 15 Best French Fries Slideshow
“The more casual half of Palena in D.C.’s Cleveland Park neighborhood offers a menu brimming with Italian- and American-inspired dishes that change according to the season. And while the more formal dining room is renowned in its own right, the café is the part of Palena that made The Daily Meal’s list of the 101 best restaurants in America for 2012. One of the most notable standbys on the menu is the fry plate, a serving fit for a crowd filled with fried white and dauphine potatoes, onions, and lemons with a side of Sriracha mayonnaise.”

The Best Classy Comfort Food in DC
“Grilled Cheese at Ripple- With the recent addition of a grilled cheese bar, Ripple has become one of our favorite late-night locales to grab a gourmet comfort food bite. Actually, forget the bite, we’ll take the whole sandwich. Try the $11 Krusty Krab, made with Mt. Tam triple-cream cheese, jumbo lump crab imperial and bechamel sauce. Cheeseburger at Palena- If you want something beefier, it’s hard to beat (although easy to eat) the burger at this cozy Cleveland Park cafe. Made from hand-ground beef and Kobe-style trimmings, this $13 burger gets even better with the additions of garlic mayo, truffled Italian cheese and a fresh-baked bun.”
