“Dear PoPville,
I know I’m going to push a lot of buttons here, but as a Southern California girl who grew up eating a true Jewish Delicatessens, I’d hands down say one of the best pastrami Reuben’s in DC is at the carving room in NoMa.
Had to pass this along.”

Trenton asks: “What’s the best sandwich in DC when considering quality, price, and convenience? My vote is 100% Prego Again. What do you think PoPville?”
Aside from the Crunchy Boi, chicken sandwiches, Reubens, turkey clubs, breakfast sandwiches, and sandwiches available for sit down at a restaurant, many more thoughts were had: (more…)
recently opened Italian Bar at 5008 Connecticut Ave, NW
“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if the community could help me out on my search for a good vanilla Italian soda in DC! Before moving to DC, my local coffee shop had the best Italian Soda. I know it’s really just club soda and flavored syrup, but there is a certain nostalgia about sitting outside with an Italian Soda. I’ve been craving a Vanilla Italian soda for a few weeks but haven’t been able to find anywhere around DC that does them. Any recommendations on where to look?”

“Dear PoPville,
begging you to do a best DJs in DC. It’s rough out there for people wanting songs not 7 years old.”
“Dear PoPville,
What are the best restaurants close to Union Station?”
Big claim from Michelle but does look delicious:
“Best sit down lunch sandwich in all of #DC is the Chicken Curry on the Cranberry Nut Bread Le Diplomate! Enjoyed it with amazing friends on a challenging day & can’t wait to go back for another! See you there & save me a sandwich!”

3000 12th Street, NE via Primrose DC
Thanks to Ryan for sharing: “a big shout out to my friends at Primrose in Brookland. EASILY the best value plate in the city is their HH burger w/ a side salad & frites, $12. Unbelievable burger, incredible value. Eat at the bar.”
Happy hour is “Every Monday – Friday from 5:30 – 7:30 at the bar we offer $8 wines as well as discounts on some of our most popular dishes.”
Ed. Note: I’m trying to confirm whether or not the HH burger deal is $12 or $15 but either way in 2022 not too shabby with salad and frites included though there was a time… You can see other best burger options here and here.
Update: “I can officially confirm Primrose’s current Happy Hour specials are:
“Dear PoPville,
I had the juiciest, most flavorful dumplings from a food truck named Himalayan Soul Foods at the Asia Fiesta food festival in DC last weekend. These dumplings are called momos and they are eaten in Nepal and Tibet. One distinctive feature of these momos is that they have a tasty tomato sauce to go along with them. I can’t believe it was the first time I’ve heard of them. I was wondering if anyone knows of any restaurants that serve momos in DC/ VA? I’m a fan!”
Ed. Note: Stand by for Momo DC coming to Dupont. In the meantime where are some current great spots?
