5 CITY GUIDE
THE SCOUT GUIDE
A N E D I T O R ’ S G U I D E T O D. C . Start your day in D.C. with a healthy, organic brunch at Fruitive followed by a trip to the Dupont Farmer’s Market to pick up produce from the farmers at Fresh Farm. From there, head over to Cathedral Commons and Georgetown for some shopping at TSG DC favorites Dalton Brody, Tuckernuck, The Phoenix and Little Birdies Boutique. Next, stop by Ian McCabe Studio to update your ‘do then take a break with cocktails and oysters at Pearl Dive; head back to Georgetown for a cooking class and dinner at Via Umbria. Prefer to host your own soirée? Let Vintage Affairs and Type A Invitations help you execute the perfect event.
New to D.C.? Turn to residential real estate experts McEnearney Associates, Wydler Brothers and Russell Firestone to help you find the perfect home; or build the home of your dreams with the help of Anthony Wilder Design/Build and Fine Craft Contractors. Turn to TSG D.C. interior designers Cameron Ruppert Interiors, Anne Dutcher Interiors, Ella Scott Design and Zoe Feldman Design to create the perfect interior to fit your style. Hasan’s Rugs and Push Pull Hardware will provide the finishing touches to your project, and you can source artwork to deck your walls with the help of The Art Registry and Gina Cochran. Complete your dream home by designing and maintaining a gorgeous lawn with American Plant and Landscape Projects, and keep your home spotless with concierge cleaning services from MessLess. Looking for a fun and community-based office that offers childcare as well? The Workroom Cooperative in Spring Valley is the perfect solution.
Take care of your health with TSG D.C. medical experts McLean Dermatology, Bloom OB/GYN, Dr. Mary Ella Carter, MD, F.A.C.S and Ivory Dental Centre. For those with children, turn to Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart and Blue Ridge School to keep them on the track to academic success and Spring Valley Pediatrics to keep them happy and healthy.
Take a day to head out of the city for an excursion to Little Washington to visit August Georges for unique gifts and décor, to Charlottesville for a bourbon tasting and fantastic views at Ragged Branch Distillery or to Rehoboth to hit the beach and shop specialty menswear at MGT & Co.
The pages that follow are my curated picks for the best of local in Washington, D.C. Enjoy!
