Food Scene
Not fancy but authentic and flavorful Jamaican food and the jerk chicken sandwich is a great value and rivals anything you'll get in Caribbean neighborhoods in NYC.

Silver Spring is unique for it's Ethiopian community, rivaled only in NYC and LA. There are several restaurants and cafes featuring variations on Ethiopian fare and the patrons and proprietors are warm and friendly. We are told Addis has the most authentic atmosphere. If you're curious or already a fan, now's your chance, the cuisine is very flavorful and on the spicy side.

Parks & Nature
The Atlantic Ocean is nearly 3 hours away but within an hour you can take in the Chesapeake Bay and Annapolis, a world class sailing capital (and Maryland's State Capital). There is no way to get there by transit but if you have a car and the weather is pleasant it's worth a side trip. Or let us know if you're interested and we can try to put together a trip with you. On the other side of the magnificent "Bay" bridge, we keep a 36' sailboat where we spend most weekends from late spring to early fall. Join us!
