At the south end of Langdon sits the Public Option, a dive-y brewpub that pours eight beers on site. There are usually three darker beers, three pale ales, and two experimental brews on tap. Bar bites are great too. Try the stromboli or savory baked goods supplied by Republic Kolache.

For fresh quality produce, essential groceries, and healthy grab-and-go meals, visit Good Food Markets. This is also an essential spot for finding those highly coveted Bullfrog Bagels.

For cash-only cold cuts, it’s Carl’s to the rescue. This neighborhood sandwich shop specializes in salami, capicola, peppered ham, and mortadella piled high.

It’s really hard to find a Rita’s in D.C. Luckily Woodridge has one at the ready to satisfy any cravings for soft serve or Italian ice (or both).

Deli City is the go-to place for a greasy and good breakfast or lunch. Try the corned beef, pastrami, or breakfast scrapple. Still feeling conflicted? Ms. Delores, a lifelong employee, runs the register and can offer up some of her favorite dishes.

Got a sweet tooth for some Brazilian cacao? Harper Macaw’s chocolate factory is not only an amazing tour, but it’s also home to some of D.C.’s finest craft chocolate. Its a guilt-free indulgence too, because this chocolatier donates a portion of each sale to conservation efforts in South America.

One of the best times to visit this well-known brewery is during growler hours. D.C. Brau also has a unique canned growler option (crowlers) for a sealed and travel-friendly option. Or stop by on weekends, when tours are operated on the hour from 1 p.m to 4 p.m.
