(Almost) Out of this world, def. out of the way (from NW)
Up-market Dupont
Gorgeous new pizza joint in Shaw

Good stuff, no reservations. Find the double entendre
A lot of this place is painted asylum white, but the inmates are generally quietly productive people and the wardens make a mean cap
Tasty arepas and a cool vibe. Passion fruit and jalapeño cocktail won't steer you wrong. Until it does.
Good world-themed sandwich shop, also serving salads and breakfast sandwiches
Turkish cuisine, small plates, middle-up market
A well-meaning wannabe local with copper flair. If it gets less popular (without shutting down), it'll be quite a pleasant, low-key hangout

More from the genre: hipsters in paradise. Try the Ameri-cola, an americano with Mexican coke instead of water
Marvelous Indian food. One of the best restaurants in DC. The palak chat is a candidate for last meal on earth, if I had to choose. It's got it all.
Yes. But don't get the fancy hummus. Do get the normal hummus. And the Brussels sprouts. Good wine list and tasty small plates
Open late, Mexican and El Salvadoran food. If you love in DC long enough, there will come a night when you say, "G-d bless El Tam"
Fairly involved south east asian cuisine in a light, airy space. Nice little patio, too, if the weather is tolerable
Tasty tacos. Corn tortilla option. Long rush hour line. No real seating

Brunch excellent. No outdoor seating though.

No better place to while away hours, keeping your eyes peeled for your future hipster sig-other
Good beers, good ambiance. Just a touch loud and crowded. Popular
Want to go.
Large, diverse menu. Nice. Usually need a reservation to be seated in a timely fashion
Good for Sushi or Chinese, quite a good happy hour everyday minus Saturday before 7
Good sandwiches
Tasty smoothies. Friendly staff. Cute joint.
Great sandwiches, also decent beers and wines. The number 18 sandwich is my favorite: the Humberto.
The people who run this place are awesome. Fantastic beer selection. Open late.
Better place to get a slice than its nearby competitors
Lots of butter, some fancy French-nouveau-American combinations, a little too well-lit, and pricey.
Elegant and delicious, but you pay for it
Recommended.
