We’ve spoken in the past about some good brunch options. But I’d like to know where are the best “regular” breakfast dining options in DC. My personal vote is for Krupins (or whatever it is called now) located on Wisconsin Ave. in Tenleytown. Damn good lox platters. Where’s your favorite regular breakfast option?
I used to love playing pool at Angles on 18th Street in Adams Morgan but they removed one of the tables so it has fallen from my list. I’d probably have to say Red Derby since it’s a great bar table that only costs a buck. For pool halls I think I like Atomic in Cleveland Park the best. Where is your favorite place?
Lauriol Plaza always seems to be packed yet I’ve never met anyone who actually likes the food. I’ve gone on record as loving El Limeno at 2nd and Upshur in Petworth. So what’s your favorite Latino restaurant? Leave cross street if you know them.
Here were the recommendations for best hidden restaurants, Italian, Sushi, Indian, falafel, Ethiopian, and Middle Eastern.
Now that I have the poll thing figured out I can add a poll after recommendations are submitted in the comments section. I have gone on record saying that I love Al Crostino (pictured above) on U Street. They have a fantastic wine menu, the stuffed ravioli and prosciutto dish are both ridiculously good. And of course the servers are super nice. So what’s your favorite Italian?
Here were the recommendations for best Sushi, Indian, falafel, Ethiopian, and Middle Eastern.
I really like the sushi at Tono (located on Connecticut in Woodley Park). Ed. note: I feel like there is a place for graffiti, primarily in alleys, the folks that put it here are a disgrace.
So, where’s your favorite sushi located?
Here were the recommendations for best Indian, falafel, Ethiopian, and Middle Eastern.
I’m really enjoying these posts on best falafel, Middle Eastern, Ethiopian, etc. So I’m super curious to learn where folks think the best Indian restaurant is to be found. The photo above from Adams Morgan claims to be DC’s finest. I have to give them props on one of the finest doors. But what is your vote for favorite Indian restaurant?
I really enjoyed our discussion last week about whether Dukem was the best Ethiopian restaurant in the city. So I was alerted to a new mural going up at Mama Ayesha’s (will post later in the afternoon) and it got me thinking what is the best Middle Eastern sit down restaurant in DC? Mama Ayesha’s? Lebanese Taverna?
I have heard people rave about this spot. So tell me two things – is this the best Ethiopian restaurant in DC? What makes it stand out from all the others? I’m personally not a huge fan of Ethiopian restaurants in general and I don’t mean to sound ignorant or uncultured but in DC people seem to go bananas over Ethiopian food and I just don’t get it. So, secondly, tell me what is the great appeal? Is it the communal eating or is it something specific about the particular dishes, flavor, spices, etc.? Alright, I recognize I might sound like a lout but I’m seriously curious.
And of course Looking Glass Lounge has trivia on Thursdays. Last I heard the trivia at Looking Glass Lounge was a big success. Has anyone checked it out? Good fun? Good questions?
Who has the best trivia night in the city?
