DC Edition

Well my trip isn't quite over yet but there has been good food to report. Weekend one was spent at Eastern Market on Capitol Hill (http://www.easternmarket.net). Super convenient via Metro by the way. There is a crepe stand there that judging by the line most people have figured out is excellent so of course I had to try it right.... Well it was excellent. They make them right in front of you and serve them warm in a paper. I had the banana-nutella version and it was indescribably delicious. Bottom line if you find yourself there on a Saturday give them a try. My second recommendation is Giffords (http://www.giffords.com). Their ice cream is sold all over DC but the one stand I have seen is at 10th and E Streets (Right by Fords Theater, FBIHQ and E Street Cinema). I have had ice cream there several times and it has yet to disappoint. This time I picked peanut butter cookies and cream and it was awesome. They made it into a sundae with chocolate sauce that almost rivals Ghiradelli. Anyway, hopefully more to come! Oh, also non-dessert related was Olssons Bookstore cafe which I believe is called something like Footnotes. I had amazingly good asparagus-brie soup. Olssons is right by Archives/Navy Memorial Stop on the Blue/Yellow lines on Seventh Street next door to the Shakespeare Theater. Lastly, the West Building of the National Museum of Art has a cafe with desserts that looked amazing as well as gelato. I was too late to try but they looked amazingly good. Anyway, happy eating and hope everyone has a chance to make it out here someday to "our nations capital" if you haven't already!
