• Enjoy the daily afternoon tea service by the original fireplace in the Wilkes Room of The Henley Park Hotel. This historic venue was once a parlor where gentlemen tenants entertained guests during the hotel’s tenure as an exclusive apartment building.

• Savor a meal at The Tavern at the Henley Park, a renowned dining establishment set in the formerly open courtyard that is now enclosed with a stunning glass atrium. Admire the four large gargoyles that tower above the restaurant, which were rescued from the Commodore Hotel in New York City, as well as the ornate chandeliers and natural brick walls.

• Bite into a DC original half-smoke sausage at Ben’s Chili Bowl, a casual eatery that has played host to jazz legends Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, and Ella Fitzgerald, and was popularized by President Barack Obama.
