In this series, we ask D.C. tastemakers to suggest their five favorite places, experiences, or ways to enjoy something — plus one bonus recommendation. Have an idea for a topic, or someone we should reach out to? Tell us at 51st.news/5plus1

Put simply, our mission is to make it easier — and more fun — to live in the District. Our members help keep local news free and independent for all:
