Patio Pleasures
Once the temperatures hit the 70s in the DMV, we all want to be outside. Patio season is officially here and whether you are looking for a tucked-away garden, a lively sidewalk scene, waterfront dining, or a neighborhood spot perfect for brunch and cocktails, there are plenty of great places to post up this season.
Honestly, we think we may have just about every patio in the city on this list, and yes, there are a lot of them. Consider this your guide to dining al fresco around the DMV.
Looking for rooftop season too? Be sure to check out our Up On The Roof roundup featuring rooftop bars and all the sky-high sipping & eating spots all around the city.
