Potenza, a rustic Italian eatery, has opened in DC’s historic Woodward Building. Taking inspiration from this 1911 landmark, CORE Architecture/Design preserved the character of its historic hallway (left), which overlooks Potenza’s antipasto bar and curing room. It is one of several unique dining spaces where guests enjoy a delicious mix of wood-fired pizzas, homey pastas and local charcuterie. 1430 H Street, NW; 202-638-4444. www.potenzadc.com
