Hot chocolate heaven!

I consider myself a hot chocolate snob, sort of. I love a great mug/cup of steamed milk with high quality chocolate. One of my top 10 places for fantastic hot chocolate.

Excellent Gelato

Really good gelato and cools you off when it's 99 degrees out. They even had Cinnamon. Close to the museums on the mall, the Nuseum and Fords Theater.

Great gelato near museums

Pitango has a cool vibe only blocks from the Smithsonian, Newseum and other museums in Washington. Great flavors and clearly popular among locals.
