The world's first soul food restaurant is an amazing diner. It's a bit of a dive, but has the best bacon, sausage gravy, and pancakes I've ever had.

It's a bit of a hike, but this place is the closest I've found to being back in Vietnam. Very reasonably priced for DC.

Fantastic calzones. I usually split one unless I'm starving. They are a grab and go place more than a sit down restaurant.

Rustik Tavern
84 T Street NorthwestGreat place for brunch.
A bar with a great concept - you can actually hear conversation. They have no music or TVs. You must sit, talk at a reasonable volume, and no mobile phone use. If you're loud, they'll kick you out.
