U Street

So about a year ago Joanie sent me a link to this restaurant, not sure how she found out about it but my friend Lynn and I went there for dinner my last week in DC and it was amazingly good!I had the chard salad which had chard of course and ricotta, pine nuts and raisins. We shared pizza and for dessert we had honey tangerine sorbet and the nutella calzone. They had a chocolate dessert that sounded excellent as well. Everything was so good. http://www.coppisorganic.com/
The restaurant is on U Street in DC a few blocks from the Metro station. The neighborhood is definitely one of the most historic neighborhoods in DC. It is now starting to be revitalized and coming back into it's former glory. Another recommendation in this neighborhood is Bens Chili Bowl (http://www.benschilibowl.com/). I haven't eaten there but it is a DC institution. Interestingly enough NPR did a segment about U Street and there is a link to a history of U Street. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=89397682
