My Favorite Restaurants in the Area

Here is a short list of some of my favorite restaurants in the area. Let me know what you're looking for and I can provide a more specific recommendation!
The H street location of the famous Ben's Chili Bowl, a Washington, D.C. landmark for years. Also consider a visit to the original location on U Street. I recommend the Chili Cheese Fries and the Half Smoke.

Local Breakfast

Killer breakfast sandwich and bagel selection in Union Market (worth a trip on its own for the food and shopping). They ship their water in from New York so I guess that makes it authentic, right?
