Food Scene
It's a great place to sit for coffee but also has a great vibe and amazing food. It's an eclectic space that functions as a cafe (top floor), bar/restaurant (main floor), and retail space (entry way). The Cambodian/Taiwanese fusion food is wonderful and their drink/ food menu is constantly changing. Suggest trying to get a reservation online but they usually do walk-ins as well. It's always busy!

All Smithsonian museums are free in DC, so you should definitely aim to go. Given security, I would recommend taking a minimal amount and would eat outside of the museums unless you want to pay a steep price. There are some great restaurants around the area.
