My TikTok algorithm has been really pushing DC videos to me.

Never been, but sorta interested. :patrice:

it is...and even people from there who have lived elsewhere feel the same. DC is about networking, there's a bigger emphasis on atmosphere and drinks in DC vs food. of course there are some great places, but overall their food scene is weak including some of the spots you suggested :ld:
Yeah, there are some great spots in DC (especially brunch) but compared to Philly or even Baltimore I don't think the options are as good.

Speaking of brunch, Founding Farmers doesn't miss...also Milk & Honey and Miss Toya's Creole House in Silver Spring.

Nah, H St alone is like the United Nations of great food that shyts on Philly.

that's not local :mjlol:

It started in DC - &pizza - Wikipedia

&pizza (originally called H&pizza) was founded by Michael Lastoria and Steve Salis, with the first shop opening in July 2012 on H Street in Northeast, Washington, D.C

This and Taylor Gourmet was what helped to spark H-Street NE. (Along with Sticky Rice, Granville Moore's)

This! DC restaurants are better for vibes and aesthetics, although the brunch scene is serious.

I’d say folks should go 45 mins to Baltimore for some really good restaurants. 2.5 hrs to Philly for an even better selection.

DC is a strangely weak food/restaurant city. Go two hours up the road to Philly and :eat:

Have you been to Paulie Gee's Pizza Place? I used to hit up his joint in NYC and saw that he opened one there.
