re: Anyone have a DC eats list handy?

I go there several times a year for work and these are some of my favorites from where our DC employees and vendors have taken me. I'm usually north of the mall, so I don't know much east and south other than bar hopping on H street.

Close to you:
Compass Rose for Mediterranean
Takoda for beer/whiskey/food
Drift for seafood
Keren for Ethopian,

Others:

Matchbox or &Pizza for Pizza
A baked Joint for coffee and dessert
Dacha or Granville Moore's for Beer and Mussels
Espita for mexican bar food and mescal flights
Carving Room for burgers, sandwiches, and beer
Alta Strada for Italian
Churchkey for beer

The Monocle to rub elbows with senators. Union Pub or 201 Bar to hear staffers bitch about their senators.


ETA: shite, I forgot about Jaleo for Tapas. Ruzil is right, any Jose Andres place is going to be good.
