Just as the faces in
government change with every
election, so too do
restaurants
come and go more quickly in
Washington DC than just
about anywhere else in the
US. Within this constant
flux a few longstanding
favorites endure. Certain
neighborhoods - Connecticut
Avenue around
Dupont
Circle , 18th Street and
Columbia Road in
Adams-Morgan
, M Street in
Georgetown
and downtown's
Seventh
Street and
Chinatown
- always seem to hold a good
range of dining options.
There are handy
food
courts in Union Station
and at the Old Post Office
and National Place, the last
two both on Pennsylvania
Avenue. A few citywide
chains, like
Teaism,
Firehook and the
Chesapeake
Bagel Bakery , offer
good coffee and quick
snacks; otherwise, the cafés
in the main museums are good
for downtown lunch breaks.

priced menu has been culled
