28 THE WASHInGTon PoST MAGAzInE | August 1, 2010
Food and drink: I have a friend coming into town this afternoon, and she is looking to get the “local D.C. experience.” Aside from the obvious places, what are some unique spots to eat/drink in town? LAvANyA RAMANATHAN: Salvadoran and Ethiopian food are now officially staples of D.C. cuisine (whatever that is), so how about Ethiopic? And for drinking, I really like Room 11: It attracts a mixed crowd, it’s warm and invit- ing, and the food is locally sourced as often as pos- sible. Sit at the bar, eat cheese, try a cocktail. Or sit outside and people-watch. It’s totally D.C. but not at all that stuffy, uptight vi- sion that so many out-of-towners have.
Ethiopic, 401 H St. NE. 202-675- 2066.
Room 11, 3234 11st St. NW. 202- 332-3234.
