Food, Coffee, and “Let’s Walk There” Errands
Where people actually go
Chevy Chase has a steady stream of neighborhood favorites plus fresh openings — the vibe is polished but not performative. For curated “what’s good right now,” Washingtonian and Eater do a solid job tracking the scene.

Local classic
The Avalon Theatre is a neighborhood institution with an eclectic film lineup — charming, classic, and unapologetically not a megaplex.
If you want your Saturday night to include “movie + walk home,” Chevy Chase delivers.
Rock Creek Access (The Real Luxury Amenity)
