As a Washingtonian, I know a “few” good places to go for food and things to do. The Glover Park neighborhood has no shortage of food options, such as Heritage India and Thai. Their vegetarian dishes are great. When I’m not sure where to go, I find Urbanspoon really helpful: http://www.urbanspoon.com/n/7/628/DC/Glover-Park-restaurants
And if you’re wondering what else to do, there’s some nice neighborhood information here: http://www.gloverparkdc.com/events.html
