Most museums with serious collections all seem to suffer from overcrowding, and the inability to get a close up look at the art. The Kreeger museum is the exact opposite. There were no crowds, and the majority of the paintings and sculptures have no ropes around them. I was allowed to get within inches of works by Picasso, Chagall, Monet, just to name a few. Once you step outside, the architecture is amazing, and the sculptures by Noguchi, Arp, Brzezinski are scattered thoughtfully around the property, inviting you to wander and explore both the manicured and wooded grounds. DC is a city awash in museums, but none of them will give you the personal experience of the Kreeger.

It turns out that I'm a little bit of a meatloaf fan, and I've ordered it here twice; First time was traditional style, the second was dressed up like a burger. The pancakes are not out of control, but if you're not a big eater I'd start with one, and order another if you need it, they can come out of the kitchen pretty quickly.
I can also recommend the huevos ranchero with crispy corn tortillas. It was filling, and had that perfect balance of ingredients that so many restaurants seem to get wrong.
My better half vouches for the crab cake eggs Benedict, but I find it too rich for my taste.
