Best Restaurants in Washington DC
Power lunches lost; the world's cuisines won.
DC eats globally because DC *is* global — Ethiopian on 9th Street, Laotian in the suburbs, and the country's best Salvadoran pupusas hiding in plain sight. Layer on a Michelin guide, chef-driven row houses in Shaw, and half-smokes at 2am, and you get a food city that finally matches its ambition.
