mediterranean restaurant
1617 Washington Plz N

pizza restaurant
5037 Connecticut Ave NW
Neighborhood pizzeria on Connecticut Avenue that doubles as a concert venue, where you can catch local bands between slices of critically acclaimed pies.

The kind of neighborhood spot where regulars have their stool and the bartender knows what you drink—wood-dark, honest Irish pub food, and live music that makes you want to stay longer than you planned.
