New Cuban place on 19th between L and M is pretty good. Fried pork sandwiches, plantains, etc.
Mmmmm, ShopHouse meatballs. Good stuff.
Still haven't tried the meatballs. Better than the chicken? I did not care for the beef.
I read they're opening a new Greek carryout spot right around there. Which is just a few doors down from Greek Deli. Seems dumb, Greek Deli is so good.
Steak was good when the Dupont one first opened, but it went downhill after a while. The meatballs are definitely my goto there. So good. Meatballs on noodles with 1/2 green beans and 1/2 eggplant, green curry, all three condiments, and toasted garlic. Nom nom nom. Used to get the red curry but it got a little too uncomfortable so had to dial it back to the green.
Anyone try Compass Rose or Etto on 14th St yet?
Etto is aight. A bit pricey for pizza.
I maintain the best pizza in the city is probably Menomale in Brookland, although its starting to get swarmed. There are a few places in Georgetown that are overlooked, like Il Canale. A good quiet, modern, Italian meal can be had there for a decent price. And their pizza is very good.
The Rose's Luxury rooftop experience is ridiculously awesome. I wouldn't need to eat again for days if it weren't for the leftovers they gave us.
How much coin did you end up dropping on it?
It's $125 plus drinks/tax/tip. They were pretty liberal with the wine pours and there was a free drink included. Right at $200/each I think. We were there for like 5 hours and half of the things we had were off-menu. Plus they brought back the lobster popcorn soup for us which might be one of the best things I've had anywhere this year. They also packed up lunches for the next day to send you home with in addition to the leftovers which was a great touch. Brisket sandwich, chips, and a capri sun. Pretty funny.
