Itching to check out the freshest new spots in Washington? From a bakery to a virtual reality arcade, read on for a list of the newest destinations to land around town.
Mono Diner
Now open at 1424 Wisconsin Ave. NW in Georgetown is Mono Diner.
The retro, Hollywood-themed spot offers its breakfast — including omelets, Benedicts and waffles — all day long. There are classic American lunches and dinners too, and signature desserts, like ice cream and cakes. On Friday and Saturday, it's open 24 hours.
Praline Bakery
Praline Bakery recently opened at 965 Seventh St. SW in the Wharf development.
The Bethesda-based establishment specializes in sweet treats, like pastries, tarts, cakes, cookies and Parisian macarons. It also produces breads, including baguettes, sourdough and a farmhouse wheat, which are used to make sandwiches like turkey and brie, or tomato and mozzarella.
Dive
Now open at 1610 20th St. NW in Dupont Circle is Dive, a new pub and live music venue.
It's located in the basement of the Darlington House restaurant, which used to be Childe Harold, where famous musicians like The Ramones, Bruce Springsteen and Emmylou Harris once played. Despite the name, this is no dive, but rather an upscale bar and restaurant with bottle service and VIP areas. Friday nights are open mic nights.
VR Zone DC
Finally, VR Zone DC is a new virtual reality arcade at 2300 Wisconsin Ave. NW, G-101 in Glover Park.
Its room-sized experiences are powered by Oculus and HTC Vive equipment. There are family-friendly adventure games and first-person shooters, as well as educational and team building titles. Walk in for an hour-long session, or rent the whole place for family or corporate events.
