Hey D.C. parents, here’s a round up of locations and events that allow you to rejoin the world and connect with your old interests, baby in tow. 51st.news/child-friendly-spa…
One of D.C.’s most popular bakeries is in a front yard on Capitol Hill. German-inspired The Pastry Pedaler opens at 9 a.m. on select Saturdays with a line around the block. If you preorder, you can skip the line for your Bavarian pretzels, apfelstrudel, & cardamom bun cruffins.
D.C.’s newest public art installation brings steel living room furniture to five bus stops that lack benches in Southwest Waterfront, a neighborhood where one in five residents are senior citizens and where one in five people live with a disability. #southwestdc
Similar to a Little Free Library, the Little Free Herb Garden invites neighbors to harvest the garden. There’s Italian oregano, sage, lemon balm, sweet basil, & more. On a mission to make fresh herbs available to all, the Little Free Herb Garden brings joy to the community
Tommy’s Tacos opening this week at 227 Harry Thomas Way NE within Alethia Tanner Park in Eckington. They’ll serve 10 tacos on flour tortillas for breakfast, lunch, dinner, chips & queso, frozen margaritas, and more.

Summer Restaurant Week has been decoded.
A D.C. software engineer turned hundreds of menus — and over 7,600 dishes — into one searchable site.
Now you can browse menus, find great deals, and search by dish, dietary needs, and occasions. Details here:

Got a courtesy copy (direct from Simon & Schuster!) of Austin Graff’s 111 Places for Kids in Washington that You Must Not Miss.
Informative, well presented, and lots of off the beat spots. Great resource
D.C.’s summers always drive me to the city’s pools and splash pads: wamu.org/story/26/08/01/get-…. @wamu885 @TamikaNews
JUST NOW: A gust of wind broke a large branch onto the sidewalk in front of Barrel along Pennsylvania Ave SE on Capitol Hill. No one was hurt. @capitalweather @theHillisHome

How do D.C. natives celebrate Juneteenth?
@christurdisani answered the question last year for our "Ask A D.C. Native" column — with the help of twelve other born-and-raised Washingtonians: 51st.news/juneteenth-how-dc-…
D.C. Scavenger Hunt: My nine-year-old daughter & I are hosting a book event at @PoliticsProse at @UnionMarketDC on 6/27 to help explore the area. Join us: politics-prose.com/scavenger….

Today's installment of "Carryout with @AustinKGraff" features popular spot Norma's Breakfast. Whiting is coated in a fried chicken batter - super crispy seasoned flour that holds up well for takeout. Sides include all kinds of carbs. The french toast is better than the pancakes. xitter.cf/eat_dc/status/20622351…
Next time you visit D.C.’s World War II Memorial, find wartime graffiti etched in two places. Near the backside of the PA pillar is one “Kilroy Was Here” & the other opposite of it. U.S. soldiers carved it all over Europe & Asia as a sign of comfort & lightheartedness.
UNIQUE BOOK EVENT: @JoeHimali , Cynthia Schiavetto Staliunas, and I will be at @eastcitybooks 6/3 to briefly talk about the book, answer D.C. trivia, and go on a scavenger hunt around Eastern Market. RSVP for free here: withfriends.co/event/2818833….
