Food Scene
Excellent and affordable ($10-20) American food in large portions open late on the weekend. The Mac and Cheese and burger are probably the most popular but everything is extremely good. Washingtonian's Top 100 list. Also good for brunch if you can get a seat on the outdoor patio. Casual dress.

Amazing, vaguely Asian-themed small plates with a great drink selection. Michelin's Bib Gourmand List and Washingtonian's Top 100 list. Pricy but worth it.

Great for brunch—I recommend the banana nutella crepes or the egg cocotte (similar to shakshouka), though waffles and french toast are their mainstays and also delicious. Same place as the better-known Belga Cafe across town. Never too crowded. Overpriced for dinner though.

One of the best beer bars in the city—large, high-quality list. Very good food too though definitely more a bar than a restaurant. Casual dress but nice.
