This guy has been a pediatrician for probably over 100 years, conducting business out of the basement of his house, with his wife as his assistant. But over those 100 years, he has developed an amazing following of folks from the area that absolutely love him. He's great with kids and is the perfect doctor to get to know that can take care of any random ailment that might inflict your children, and he's more than happy to help you out with that nagging cold too!

If you live in DC and have out of town guests coming in that won't fit in your apartment or condo, send them to the Georgetown Inn. The rooms are really nice, the hotel is quaint yet has all the luxuries of a modern hotel, it's usually affordable, and best of all, it's in the midst of all the shops and restaurants of Georgetown. Regardless of whether you're a fan of GTown or not, for an out of towner, staying in a room within walking distance of that area will make the trip for them.

I've never understood how the little grocery store that sells about a dozen different things stays open. I can understand in New York City that a tiny little grocer could survive, but Wagshal's is located in a residential seciton of DC that's more inclined toward supermarkets and strip malls than mom and pop groceries. That being aside, if you do go in, you'll find the quality is good and it's a friendly atmosphere.

While HTO probably doesn't have a leg up on some of the national chains like REI and EMS, Hudson Trail Outfitters has a great selection of equipment and supplies for outdoor activities at reasonable prices. And since they're local, they tend to focus on local sports (biking, kayaking, hiking, climbing) instead of skiing / surfing, etc. I'm most familiar with the store in Tenleytown, but I'm guessing the other stores in the area are equally as well stocked.

Every city needs a Black Cat. It's a hole in the wall-ish concert venue that attracts local and regional bands playing all types of music. While shows at slightly larger venues like the 930 Club and large venues like Wolftrap or MCI can be relatively subdued, you're always guaranteed to have a good time at the Black Cat because the crowd is always psyched to be there and there to listen to the music.

I was really excited about the opening of the Spy Museum downtown, but I was somewhat disappointed after I visited. The price of admission was really high (I want to say $15), and there was way too much reading. While the reading was no doubt informative, you want a spy museum to be like a Bond movie: more entertainment than substance. Unfortunately the museum has chosen to focus on the more mundane aspects of spying. Try for yourself, but I'm not sure I'd recommend taking out of town guests or kids there.

If you have out of town guests in DC or you're just looking to get out of the apartment for an evening, check out the Phoenix Park hotel near Union Station. It's a little tired, but then again, that sort of adds to the character of the place. The rooms are tiny, but they're afforable, and what the lack in size they make up for in the smaller details. Also located walking distance to the Capitol and the Metro.

It's not just the gigantic screen and the great sound system that continues to make the Uptown the best place in DC to see a new release. It's the building itself, with the balcony seating and the cavernous room with the almost floor to cieling screen. It's the fact that it's the centerpiece of Cleveland Park and located at the top of the Metro station. And it's the fact that there are literally dozens of spots to hit after a movie within a block of the theater to hang out and talk about the movie. My favorite, of course, is Ireland's Four Provinces.

When I first moved to Dupont Circle 8 years ago, there were 3 music shops within one block in Dupont Circle. Now two of the three have been replaced by retail clothing stores, but fortunately one still stands. And probably for good reason: it was always a notch above the others in terms of quality and variety. The store has music from around the world and tends to cater toward that random record that you wouldn't necessarily be able to find at Best Buy, or wherever it is that people shop for music nowadays.

In the basement of the National Cathedral, located at Wisconsin Ave & Massachusetts Ave, is a museum shop that's probably the best museum shop I've ever been in to. You'd expect it sell only religious iconish junk but they've actually got an amazing selection of gifts. I've picked up Christmas gifts, housewarming gifts, and birthday gifts. Unfortunately, they're pretty proud of their gifts and they make you pay an arm and a leg for them...
