Ben's Chili Bowl - Review
(New U)1213 U Street, NW
202-667-0909
Ben's is a DC institution, which just celebrated its 50th birthday. Go late after that evening of jazz on U street or for a Saturday lunch. Hope that the speakers with plenty of boom will be belting out some solid funk. I love the chili cheeseburger.

Zaytinya
701 9th St., NW
202-638-0800

Zengo
(Chinatown/Penn Quarter)781 7h St., NW
202-393-2929
This Latin-Asian fusion restaurant by Chef Richard Sandoval is one of the many hip new restaurants in DC's Penn Quarter. It is located right a the Chinatown/Gallery Place metro. As is the trend, the dishes are served tapas style. The portions are generous. I enjoyed the Volcano Roll, Carnitas Noodles, and Kobe Beef Wonton Soup. The atmosphere is modern, bright, open, and colorful.
