For those who prefer dining in, Whole Foods is 3 blocks away. Walk north on 15^th to P St, turn right, it’s in the middle of the block.

An easy stroll going west:

Tabard Inn

1739 N Street NW

202-331-8528

(reservations recommended)

Civilized old inn, food is gorgeous but pricey, best known for the DC version of power breakfast (8am-9:45 on Saturday, 8am-9:15 on Sunday). From the hotel, cross 15^th St and walk 1 block south to M St, 2 blocks west on M, turn right at 17^th St, 2 blocks north, turn left on N St, it’s in the middle of the block on the north side.

Heritage India

1337 Connecticut Ave NW

Excellent Indian food, reasonably priced. From the hotel, cross 15^th St and walk 1 block south to M St, 3 blocks west on M, turn right onto Connecticut Ave, north for roughly 2+ blocks (diagonal blocks are weirdly spaced), it’s past N St and if you get to the circle you’ve gone too far.

Luna Grill & Diner

1301 Connecticut Ave. NW

Cheap and cheerful comfort food. I have a friend who lives on their tomato soup and sweet potato fries. Same block as Heritage.

Otello

1329 Connecticut Ave NW

Archetypal red sauce Italian joint, lots of perfectly fine pasta for not much money, a favorite cheap date for locals of a certain age. Same block as Luna and Heritage.

Sesto Senso

1214 18th St. NW

202-785-9525

(reservations not a bad idea)

Good pasta, reasonable prices. From the hotel, cross 15^th St and walk 1 block south to M St, 3 blocks west on M, turn right at 18^th St, 1 block north, it’s on the corner of 18^th & Connecticut.

There are several other restaurants on M St between 18^th and 19^th, and along Connecticut Ave toward Dupont Circle (to the north).

An easy stroll going north on 14^th Street:

La Villa

1317 14^th Street NW

Really good, really inexpensive Mexican/Salvadoran. 1 ½ blocks north on 14^th St, east side of the street.

Thai Tanic

132514^th Street NW

(btwn N and Rhode Island)

Funky, decent, and cheap.

Mar de Plata

1410 14^th Street NW

Argentine/Spanish seafood and tapas, great wine selection, informal and friendly. Moderately priced, last time I checked. 2 blocks north on 14^th St, cross Rhode Island Ave, it’s on the west side near the corner.

Once you reach P Street, turn left for Logan Circle Row (across the street from Whole Foods):

Commissary

1443 P Street NW

I love this place – excellent, simple, inexpensive food; funky atmosphere; totally green and sustainable and organic and hormone-free and all that; kitchen stays open until midnight.

Logan Tavern

1423 P Street NW

Owned by the same people as Commissary, emphasis on home cookin’ (think mac & cheese, meatloaf, fried green tomatoes).

Stoney’s Bar & Grill

1433 P Street NW

Okay pizza, beer comes in pitchers, cheap. This would be a smoke filled bar if smoking were legal in DC.

14^th Street north of P Street

Posto

1515 14^th St NW

Recently opened, informal, great pasta, not expensive. 3 ½ blocks north on 14^th St, cross P St, it’s next door to Studio Theatre. Kitchen open until 11:30pm on weekends! They don’t take reservations but should have tables around 8pm when the theatre crowd leaves.

Rice

1608 14^th Street NW

Tasteful décor and really tasty pan-Asian food; not expensive. On the west (left) side of 14^th between Q and Corcoran.

Bar Pilar

1833 14^th Street NW

Tiny, charming, really good tapas bar. On the east (right) side of 14^th between S and T Streets (DC’s official too chic block).

Saint-Ex

1847 14^th Street NW

Local institution, the upstairs restaurant is usually crowded, but the food is quite decent although not cheap. Downstairs club is always noisy and packed with 20somethings; live DJ every night. On the corner of 14^th and T.

Policy (as yet untested)

1904 14^th St, between T & U.

Just opened, menu looks like it might be interesting, ambience targets the young, hip crackberry crowd.

Clubs and bars are to be found along 14^th Street walking north toward U Street, then on U Street between 17^th and 9^th
