Can't find the best spots in DC, MD & VA?
FindFavs is a curated directory of restaurants, bars, hotels, events, and things to do across Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia, so you can stop scrolling and start going.
Our mission
A curated directory of the best places to eat, drink, stay, and explore in DC, MD, and VA
You save spots from Instagram and TikTok, then can't find them when it's time to make plans. FindFavs fixes that: every spot in our directory is searchable and links straight to its website, directions, Instagram, and reservations where available.
Every spot is hand-selected and vetted through firsthand visits, local reputation, or cross-referenced research. Sponsored features and listings are always labeled "Sponsored."
Who's behind FindFavs
Independent and locally run
FindFavs is independently run by DC, Maryland, and Virginia locals who explore and share the area's best restaurants, bars, hotels, events, and things to do. Every pick comes from the same simple test: would we send a friend here?
When a business pays to be featured, including its directory listing, it's labeled Sponsored, so you can always tell a paid feature from our own picks.
What makes the cut
- Somewhere we'd recommend to a friend
- Vetted through a firsthand visit, local reputation, or cross-referenced research
- Good food or drinks, a real point of view, or an experience worth the trip
- Up-to-date details: open, accurate hours, and working links
