Vintage Citroëns, Firebirds, Cadillac Model Ms, 1980s mom mobiles: They’re all celebrated at this sprawling new museum.

Hit the old Horne & Dekker space for one of three bars dedicated to either cocktails, flatbreads, or raw foods. It’s the lastest from chef Avner Samuel.

Its sleek digs act as a city sister to its woodsy, suburban outpost. Explore the extensive collection of post-impressionist and modern paintings, African sculptures, and Native American textiles. The outside is just as eye-catching with its fountains and Ellsworth Kelly sculpture marking the entrance. Plan ahead: Tickets often sell out, even on weekdays.

Home of the annual Taste of the Gables.

With the second location, in-towners are closer to the heavenly, made-from-scratch delicacies in 22 flavors. The milk and coffee bar and boutique-y interior make it worthy of dining in.

The D.C.-area outpost of San Francisco’s beloved music venue hosts international acts and benefits.

This is nacho mama’s Georgetown eatery. Jersey boy Mike Isabella serves a nightly Dia de los Muertos feast at his taqueria, wrapping octopus, suckling pig, lobster, and wild mushrooms in fresh tortillas. Seven varieties of margaritas dare the animal skulls on the wall to talk.


This new bar one block from the convention center is a shore thing, complete with 70 tons of sand trucked in from Maryland and sandwiches from SunDeVich. Check your shoes at the door and let the beach traffic inch by while you enjoy a frozen daiquiri from maverick cocktailer Tom Brown (The Passenger) on an Adirondack chair or hammock.

Nestle into seasonal bar’s plush lounge seating and watch the boats go by while savoring a cucumber martini, fish tacos, and Caribbean chicken wings. Mojito Mondays includes free tastings.

Known for discovering and fostering fresh talent, the NYC market lands on the West Coast for a quartet of summer installments. A craft biergarten and live jams are the icing on the cake.

The old-world-style deli and market has an in-house cheese and cured-meats program, artisan products, and take-out meals. Enjoy daily sandwiches with wine or beer in the courtyard.

The city’s first dry bar lives in a luxe space (crystal chandeliers, iPads for the borrowing) in which clients get blown (pardon our French) straight, wavy, or curly. Updos are also available.

This is gooey grilled cheese at its best. Start with one of four Empire Baking Company breads, and then choose from five cheeses, three deli-style meats, six sauces (the fan favorite Secret Slob is a mix of barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, and spices), and artisan toppings like caramelized onions and grilled tomatoes.

Taste the Big Apple in the Peach State with the Godfather (a delightful overload of salami, capicola, prosciutto, and cheese on your choice of bread) at a true New York-style deli.

Belly up to the specialty grocery store’s in-house bistro for a Buffalo chicken wrap or ooey-gooey steak and fontina melt. Or grab some chicken apricot salad to go for a savory sandwich at home.

It’s known for its fancy coffee machine, but the hip Oak Cliff resto’s sandwiches are buzzworthy, too. Not to miss: the spinach egg salad with bacon on ciabatta.

The authentic Cuban sandwich (smoked pork marinated with Papi’s secret recipe, ham, Swiss, dill pickles, mustard, and mayo on Cuban bread) is a Caribbean vacation in your mouth — minus the cabana boy.

If your daily Dunkin’ grease fest has gotten stale, fuel up with a cappuccino and Blunch’s fluffy, fresh-baked breakfast rolls encasing herb-scrambled eggs and toppings both meaty and non- (artichoke hearts, roasted tomato, goat cheese). Come lunchtime, the counter serves hearty sandwiches such as The Piglet (Black Forest ham, smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, maple aioli, sliced tomato). Gluten-free quiches and breads are also available.

Treat your taste buds to what we’re calling Atlanta on Bread: a lip-smacking, open-faced sandwich with Coca-Cola-glazed bacon (seriously?) and Georgia tome cheese. There’s no place like home.
