This is my favorite ramen spot in the city! They open for dinner at 5pm, and there is always a wait - sometimes up to 2 hours. I typically go put my name in for a seat, then grab a drink at one of the bars nearby while I wait. The host will text you when your seat is ready.

Just over a mile from the apartment, the Takoma station offers access to red line trains. Only short-term metered parking is available here, so I would not recommend using this station if you will be driving to metro. More detailed information is available on the WMATA website.

Sightseeing

Georgetown is an incredibly cute DC neighborhood, with tons of shops and dining. Check out the harbor area (especially at sunset) for some gorgeous views while enjoying a cocktail at one of the waterfront bars! A few brunch options are here as well. Occasionally there are bands performing live music on the weekends.
