Looking for restaurants in DC?

I am visiting Washington DC 12/21 thru 12/25 and will be staying less than a mile from the national mall. I am looking for some good and not TOO expensive restaurants to eat at. Any advice?

You can choose your price range, the location, and what type of food you want. It will even show you a map.



Enjoy your trip.

The National Mall is the center of most visits to Washington, DC, but finding places to eat in this area of the city is not so obvious.



You can bring a picnic and eat on the grassy areas when the weather is nice. For just a few dollars you can buy a hotdog and a soda from a street vendor. The National Park Service operates a few refreshment stands, located in front of the Natural History Museum, near the National Mall Carousel, near the Lincoln Memorial and on the Tidal Basin near the paddle boat rentals.



The museum cafe's are expensive and often crowded, but are the most convenient place to eat lunch. Most of Washington, DC鈥檚 museum cafes are open the same hours as the museums themselves.

Look up GrilleFish...short cab ride from the mall, great food, cool atmosphere, and very reasonably priced. I've been there many times and never had a bad experience.
Check out Zaytinya at 701 9th Street NW (a few blocks from the Verizon Center), which features Greek mezza (i.e., tapas). Delicious!
I recommend Bertucci's. Or Harry's in NW D.C. on E. Street.
