Cafes, restaurants and bars
My favorite spots in the neighborhood!
Don't leave without visiting the Bear, one of DCs best loved cafe-bars. Sit on the terrace, sipping a coffee or rosé. The food is pretty good too (new american cuisine). Can get crowded at weekends.

The only bad thing about Bloomingdale - its a grocery desert! These are the closest options for supermarkets (all around a 15 minute walk).
