The Park at 14th, a classy dine, lounge and party place located opposite Franklin Square, is loaded with eye-appeal – polished wood, gorgeous sconces & blown-glass chandeliers (designed by Ethel A Furman & Associates) and views of greenery from its many window seats; its exhibition kitchen turns out midpriced, updated American classics, while the top two floors are devoted to a lounge (DJs on Thursday–Saturday) and a private event space, which can host anything from a business briefing to a gala (920 14th St. NW; 202-737-7275)
