The Dew Drop Inn name was inspired by the countless roadside Dew Drop Inn’s across America. It’s a classic name for a classic bar,.. Neighborhood bar, good food, great drinks and trivia night on Tuesdays! Great happy hours. Open 7 days a week. Housed in a rustic stone industrial building that used to be the workspace for stonemasons and metal workers; today it gives a great view of the CSX, Marc and DC metro tracks. It’s located at 2801 8 Street, NE in Edgewood, near Brookland. It’s right near an entrance to the MBT(bike trail) and the CSX train tracks, and around the corner from the Mess Hall.

An Italian-influenced American restaurant within walking distance from the house (15 mins or less). The food is simple and yet creative, the wine list different in that the selections are tailored to the meals and not what one might find at every other restaurant. http://theredhendc.com/menus/RedHen-Dinner.pdf Featured in the NY Times, Washingtonian, Zagat Guide and others... I'd say fine dining is here in our little neck of the woods.. here to stay

A delightful neighborhood cafe - grab a cup of coffee and some delicious pastries (made by their in-house pastry chef), bagels, breads, and cakes, as well as sandwiches and paninis.
If you like a bit of history the building used to be the Sylvan Theatre - opened in 1913 as the American Theater and changed its name to Sylvan in 1929. Though it closed in 1965, its sign has remained, and the owners “are planning to bring the beautiful Sylvan sign back to life as well.

Great happy hour. Good food. Nice bar and a wonderful patio area to sit in and enjoy the weather and neighborhood. Brookland Pint was founded on the premise of environmental sustainability. Focus on American craft beer. A large percentage of the chef-driven, seasonal menu is sourced from local and regional farms. A great neighborhood vibe.

A quick and easy walk from my home... 15 mins stroll on the trail or on 4th Street and for those of you fitbitters - about 2500 steps give or take 10. One of the larger Starbucks in the area with PLENTY of seating, great ambiance (for a Starbucks), good service, and right across the street from my fave local wine shop, the Barnes & Noble and other restaurants. What's not to like if one wants a quick shot of java or chai etc etc latte and perhaps a nibble? And if you want to sit outside - whilst there is no patio seating, Brookland does have wrought iron benches to sit on under the trees to sip your beverage and watch people walk on by...

WINE! Great neighborhood wine shop with some unique and great wines from around the world, including local VA wines. A good selection of rum, bourbon and other spirits too. Cheeses and salamis, chocolate and fantastic owners who know a thing or two about wine. Selections will not break the bank... great selection with great prices. They run wine tastings too - some free others for $10 that's used towards buying a bottle of wine after the tasting if you want!

Getting Around
The trail begins at the end of my street - a 5 minute walk... you take a lovely walk on the side of the train tracks, or run, or bike.. meet other locals in the neighborhood doing the same, check out the murals painted by community members on the walls... and head to either brookland or NoMa for some fun!

Everything Else
If you want to take a moment to breathe, meditate, stretch those muscles after a day out and about DC, yoga district is the place to go. For first timers they even have a deal - 12 bucks for two classes. They also rent out mats for a buck here. The instructors are great and they offer a wide range of classes for all levels. I usually try to make it there on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.. perfect for the neighborhood!
