I have received such nice e-mail comments about the 100+ BEST RESTAURANTS in the Washington DC Metro Area that I would also like to share the following listing of the best of the INEXPENSIVE restaurants in the area. Actually, I prefer to use this list. This way, I can visit more restaurants for my 'buck'.

============================================================== 100 BEST 'BARGAIN' RESTAURANTS IN THE WASHINGTON DC METRO AREA
==============================================================
The following is from an article appearing in the June 1993 edition of the Washingtonian. The original authors are Robert Shoffner (DC), David Dorsen (MD) and Thomas Head (VA). It is a collection of what they feel are the best restaurants in the area where you can go to get a good meal - cheap. It is highly recommended that you read the Washingtonian article to discover the complete reviews of the restaurants and to get the full flavor of the descriptions and recommendations. Please be advised that some are elegant and some are "holes in the wall." I have re-arranged the selections so that they are organized by location rather than the name of the restaurant. As of this date, I have eaten at 30 of the restaurants on the following list and can attest to their deserving to be chosen.
