Find two stools at the bar at Room 11, a cozy little Columbia Heights favorite that stocks a smart selection of wine, beer, and cocktails. The Empress of Stockholm, a regular on their menu in recent months, is one of the most unusual cocktails in town — we dig the combo of Thai basil, gin, rice vinegar, and Swedish herbs. The only potential problem with bringing your date here? The staffers tend to be so charming and cute that you might find yourself admiring more than just the food.

Where: 3234 11th Street NW; 202-332-3234.
