DC - late-night dining ideas?

Any suggestions for a place to grab a late meal - preferably near DuPont Circle (Park Hyatt/Westing Grand hotels)? Arriving IAD 10pm Saturday, so figure after 11pm til checked in etc.

Prefer sushi, or vegetarian-friendly, to make life easier...

Your late night options are a little limited in that neighborhood (which, btw, is more West End than Dupont). I think DC Bread and Brew stays open until the wee hours on weekends. Closer to Dupont proper, Luna Diner has a reasonable vegetarian selection. If you want something a tiny bit more upscale, maybe Afterwords Cafe? I know Bistrot Du Coin is open late, too, but I don't think it has much on the veggie side. If you just want something to grab and take back to your hotel room, there's always Julia's Empanadas.

I don't know of any sushi places around there that are open after 11, though I'm sure there's something I'm missing.

I think Cafe Japone on P Street is open late. I've never eaten there, but it always looks crowded.

I quite like Afterwords, the cafe in Kramer Books, and I know they have several vegetarian options.

Unfortunately, Teaism closes around 10 p.m. on weeknights, because their menu would probably be ideal for you.

Good call, although the OP should be aware that they may get a little more than they bargained for if they go there for late-night sushi.

I suggest Sette Osteria. It is a wonderful Italian restaurant/brick oven pizzeria that is open to midnight on Saturday. However, I think that they only serve pizza from 11PM-Midnight.

Kramers Bookstore/Cafe in Dupont is open 24 hours on weekends.

Old Ebbitt Grill on 15th Street is also open pretty late if you feel like cabbing it there.

Cafe Japone is alright, nothing special.

Kramerbooks is a good 24 hour option.

Old Ebbitt is a tourist trap, IMHO.

Bistro du Coin is good for cafe French type food.

The Diner in Adams Morgan (take a cab) is open 24/7 and has surprisingly good entrees.

Darn -- and I was here with my wife and my old college gang; we would have loved "just stumbling in on that".

Instead, since we were/are here for a wedding, we just hung out at the Park Hyatt bar with the bride & groom...great cheese menu!

Bistro Francais in Georgetown is well-known as a late night dinner place. But no sushi and probably not the best place for vegetarian.

I second The Diner in Adams Morgan. Good food, they're open all night, and it's a really quick cab ride from Dupont.
