48 Hours in DC for a first-time Visitor
Old Ebbitt Grill is right next to the W and I've never had a bad meal there. It's touristy bc of it's location but IMO the food is good.
Zaytinya is also quite good and walking distance from the W over on 9th and G. It's Mediterranean tapas style - it's not cheap but it's not terribly expensive depending on how many dishes you order - and the fresh (and hot) pita and hummus is amazing
