Northwest DC's Columbia Heights--which only two years ago was a dead zone for restaurants, save a scattering of Salvadoran holes-in-the-wall--is suddenly the District's hottest new spot for eats. New restaurants in the neighborhood include comfort food spot The Heights, hipster bar and grill Red Derby, brick oven pizzeria Red Rocks and Latino tapas restaurant Rumbero's.

Always a corporate-lovin' town, Washington, DC's java options skew the chain route, with more Starbucks and Cosi outposts than corrupt politicians and lobbyists. But local Mayorga Coffee has crept up on the big guys, building a mini-chain of nine area locations, from the grab-and-go counters at BWI, Dulles and Reagan National Airports, to a massive lounge and performance space in Silver Spring.
The company's newest offering, Mayorga Lounge and Coffee, is in suddenly happening Columbia Heights, recently insta-gentrified with a flurry of new establishments both cool (uber-hipster bar Wonderland Ballroom and vegan bakery Sticky Fingers) and corporate (Target, Ruby Tuesday and, yes, Starbucks).
