Arguably the best New York Pizza place in DC. Be prepared for a little family shop with a great big heart. The prices are cheap and the servings are ridiculously big (I have them cut my $3 slice in half.) Just be glad you don't live around the corner from such a temptation, and take advantage of it while you stay here.

This Restaurant and Coffee Shop is located in the "Anacostia Arts Center", where you will pass an art experience and shopping on your way to a delicious, healthy, meal. I've tried their brunch and it is delicious and frankly underpriced. Check it out!

Sightseeing
The Frederick Douglass Historic Site is a hidden jewel. The Frederick Douglass National Historic Site (National Parks Service) preserves and interprets Cedar Hill, where Frederick Douglass lived from 1877 until his death in 1895. The centerpiece of the site is the historic house, which sits on top of a 51-foot hill and is surrounded by eight acres of the original estate. Restored to its 1895 appearance, the house is furnished with original objects that belonged to Frederick Douglass.
A typical visit lasts about 1.5 hours. Things to do include touring the historic house, looking at exhibits, watching the film, and walking the grounds.

http://www.craigkraftstudio.com/#!about/kdgjp
Over the past 35 years Craig Kraft has gained national recognition in creating original works of art that advance the techniques he has developed working with neon and the figure and, more recently, rolled aluminum. He is one of only a handful of light artists in the world who bends his own glass and is respected for his ability to precisely manipulate the figure and light to capture his own artistic vision. He achieved his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He is presently a faculty member of the Smithsonian Institution Studio Arts Program. His sculptures have been featured in over 120 exhibits throughout the U.S.A. (17+ solo) and he has been a leader of the International Sculpture Conference twice. Recently, Kraft has been commissioned to create monumental rolled aluminum light sculptures for both Montgomery County Maryland and P.F.A. for the Downtown Silver Spring Development as well as for Anacostia Arts Center and The Arlington Arts Center in Arlington, Virginia. He was invited to exhibit at both The Busan Biennale Art Festival 2004 and Hermandades Escultoricas 2005 in Merida Yucatan Mexico. Kraft Resides at 1239 Good Hope Rd SE, Washington, D.C. U.S.A. His work can be seen at his home gallery and studio, a historic building in Anacostia. His pieces are for sale and he is available for commissioned artwork.
