Drink·Eat·Walk — Washington DC Food Tours

Local DC Neighborhood Food & Drink Walking Tour

Neighborhood restaurants, craft drinks, local history, & small-group fun

This Washington DC Food tour starts in Dupont Circle, walking the Gilded Age streets while getting to know the people, places, and stories that shaped early DC.

Then we head up to Adams Morgan, the city’s most eclectic neighborhood, where cultures, flavors, and late-night energy all collide.

We finish in the historic U Street neighborhood, enjoying a panoramic view over the entire city & streets we just walked.

Along the way we stop for food & drinks at five different local spots, including two Michelin restaurants, where we’ll share a table, swap stories, and turn a group of strangers into friends. Solo travelers especially welcome!

Tour Guide

Drink•Eat•Walk tours are intentionally small (max 8 guests), and every tour is led by me, Tim, the founder of Drink•Eat•Walk. I’m the only guide, so you’re guaranteed to get me for your tour!

I’ve lived in Washington DC for over half my life and built this tour around the places locals actually go in the evenings. My goal is simple: make sure everyone has a great time and leaves feeling like they experienced DC the way locals do.
