Food Scene (Part 1)

DC has been upping its food game (hheeyyy Michelin stars). The DC foot critic who always has the best recommendations is Tom Sietsema. Here are some of our favorite spots and areas. 14th Street- our favorite neighborhood food & drink wise (and U street nearby has some funky bars) Bad Saint: One of our absolute favorite places (first real date), Hip Filipino spot with great food, very hard to get a table (only two seatings, get there before they open) Compass Rose; AMAZING street food from around the world, another fav date spot! Red Hen: another favorite spot (anniversary's, bdays), great pasta Estadio: Great tapas Cork: Family owned small plates with an extensive wine selection Tico: Great tapas and drinks (try the Hibiscus Margarita) Le Diplomate: French bistro that always draws a crowd--steak frites are delish Maydan: Very interesting menu and the restaurant is centered around the hearth! Duke’s Grocery: Top notch burgers Church Key: HUNDREDS of beers to choose from
