Try Meskerem on 18th street, just below Columbia Road in Adams Morgan part of town. It's the best Ethhiopian food in town! Weasel-

Sounds like two especially good reasons to avoid it at all costs. :-) Seriously, you may want to opt for Red Sage (owned by Mark Miller, who also owns the Coyote Cafe in Santa Fe, NM) if you're willing to part with a buck or two. I mean, after all, how many restaurants do you know of with their own WWW "home page?" (http://town.hall.org/food/sage.html). (I personally haven't had the chance to sample their fare, but one of my globe trotting friends, whose palate I trust, gives it a thumbs up.) A favorite of mine, out in the Dupont Circle area, is the Brickskeller at 20th and P Streets. They have a 10 page beer menu and good solid pub food. BTW, don't bother trying to drive there. You'll probably never find a place to park and, even if you do, it'll take you 10 minutes to parse the no-parking signs to determine if it's legal to park (and then you'll probably get it wrong, anyhow). Take the Metro. spl

Thanks in advance. I had a couple of very nice meals at Luigi's on 18th (I think) St. NW about a week ago. They're touted in the guidebook as being famous for their pizzas, but we didn't try them because there was so much else on the menu that we wanted. We focused on pasta and veal: rigatoni with sausage and ricotta and tomatoes, veal Napoletana, veal piccatta. The food quality was excellent, the service was very good, and the prices were reasonable.

However, my favorite in the area has always been Fasika's, in the same block as the Red Sea. I was overjoyed to see that it has just begun serving lunch.
