I'm told that the cafeteria at the Department of Transportation (7th & D SW, above the L'Enfant Plaza metro) makes very good cheesteaks. I believe that the cafeteria is open to the public. Dav Vandenbroucke [email removed]

Trio's is generally decent enough (it's leagues better than what most of the pizza joints around here think a cheesesteak is supposed to be :/), but the best I've found in the area is at George's (The King of Falafel and Cheesesteaks, Philly Style -- their neon says so!) at 28th and M northwest. George's also is arguably the best Lebanese middle-eastern I've had, though I confess to not trying as many places in the area as I'd like yet. Open 'til 11 PM most days, 4 AM Thursday through Saturday, and closed Sunday. Go check it out, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
(Anyone ever tried Laibela at 14th & P? I keep on meaning to drop in, as it's so close to my house, but I haven't found any reviews of it yet, and I'm somewhat leery of blind-dating restaurants...)NNTP-Posting-Date: 6 May 1999 11:29:39 GMT Xref: pale-rider.INS.CWRU.Edu dc.dining:16346 remove N. wrote: > I need a cheese steak fix.

Tell 'em how you want it fixed (provolone, onions, green peppers,etc). They have pretty darn good pizza by the slice, too.
