My Favorite Restaurants in the Area
Here is a short list of some of my favorite restaurants in the area. Let me know what you're looking for and I can provide a more specific recommendation!
The H street location of the famous Ben's Chili Bowl, a Washington, D.C. landmark for years. Also consider a visit to the original location on U Street. I recommend the Chili Cheese Fries and the Half Smoke.
