Paltrow Pick: Marvin D.C. - "With a soundtrack of funk, ska and jazz created by a member of Thievery Corporation, a menu that blends Belgian classics with the flavors of the neighborhood (think fried chicken with Belgian waffles) and a very happening year-round rooftop beer garden, Marvin is one of the coolest places on the block. Go upstairs on the weekend to party or downstairs for a relaxed meal during the week." (Courtesy of Goop)

Paltrow Pick: The Gibson - "Behind a nondescript entrance on the 14th Street stretch is the bar that began the mixology craze in DC: The Gibson. Serving expertly-made cocktails in a sexy, low-lit seating-room only, this place is great for a date. Make a reservation to avoid the lines and enjoy one of the many house concoctions in the calming, elegant space. For a rowdier time, the outdoor patio opens in nice weather." (Courtesy of Goop)

Paltrow Pick: The Hay Adams - "Located across the street from The White House, this is perhaps the most iconic hotel in DC. Managing to be both quaint and opulent at the same time, the hotel retains touches of Tudor, Elizabethan and Italian motifs from its early days as a private residence to the likes of President Lincoln's Secretary of State. Rooms are top-notch, as are the hotel's bars and restaurants, including "The Top of the Hay," the roof terrace with stunning views. The charming, yellow church across the street, where the President is said to frequent, completes the almost unreasonably idyllic DC setting."
Paltrow Pick: Muleh - "Modern, organic-feeling furniture and very cool women's clothes from designers like Phillip Lim and Ter et Bantine make Muléh, like many of its pieces, one-of-a-kind in this town. Though the goods featured in the gallery-like interior don't come cheap, they're the type of investment pieces that can make a wardrobe, or a living room. A second store recently opened in New York's Meatpacking District, after this location's success." (Courtesy of Goop)

Paltrow Pick: Hotel Monaco - "Across from The National Portrait Gallery, another must-see, is this luxury boutique hotel set in an old post office that's now a national landmark. The eclectic décor is inviting and vibrant. Though the rooms can run a bit small due to the historic nature of the building, they are not lacking in comfort or amenity, and each is distinct from the next." (Courtesy of Goop)

Paltrow Pick: The Palomar - "This chic Kimpton hotel offers modern, unique design with spacious, meticulous guest rooms. The location right off Dupont Circle offers prime access to the best of the city's dining, shopping and nightlife, within walking distance." (Courtesy of Goop)

Paltrow Pick: Little Serrow - "From the owners of Dupont Circle's acclaimed Komi, also very much worth the visit if you have the budget, comes its ambitious and more affordable little sister right next door. It's a teeny place, and super hip, offering a set $45 Isaan-style dinner, which is less of a tasting menu than it is a family-style meal. The menu changes weekly."
WASHINGTON – Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is apparently blogging about Washington. Her site, called “Goop,” is offering it’s readers a list of her favorite things in D.C.
“Goop” is described as a weekly lifestyle journal delivered to its fans through email. While the actress and her husband, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, live in London, Paltrow decided to venture state-side to reintroduce herself to D.C.
In her post about Washington Paltrow says a friend asked for a hotel recommendation in D.C. and she realized it had been too long since she had visited the nation’s capital.
Here’s her take on what’s changed since her last trip.
“While we can’t tell for sure, we do notice a palpable shift in fashionable areas of town as this term comes to a close. A previously hot Georgetown seems to now have more cupcake shops than restaurants, while an edgier U Street and the urban Chinatown/Penn Quarter area boom.”
