Sightseeing really nearby (walking distance)
If you like to walk these are fantastic places to do just that.
You can walk up Mount Vernon or Meigs (the streets our apartment is located between) into the park. It has sections that were carved by glaciers, as well as a huge curated section of pines, lilacs, maples, magnolias, peonies.... This park is beautiful for a walk or picnic - where the Lilac Festival happens in the spring.

Flavors of Asia
831 S Clinton AveWonderful local favorite, an easy walk!
This place is wonderful, located in an old brick church (I think it was a church judging by the windows). It has a lot of games (pinball etc.), a bar area, and a to go/casual restaurant area with burgers, salads, fries and shakes.
