Home again...

We made it home with no drama or adventures to speak of - thankfully. Before we left yesterday, we had lunch at a burger joint called Five Guys. We (Aaron, April, Hal and I) have decided that they are the best burgers we've ever had... ever. And the fries are to die for.

Excellent food in DC is not at all hard to come by. We tried to make it to the cheaper, neighborhood joints, as well as some of the more well-known restaurants that litter the tourist areas. Each restaurant was so good that we can't even pick our favorites. So instead, here are the list of places we went:

1. Jaleo - Fabulous tapas and sangria - even though they were out of most things (bread, beef).
   
2. Matchbox - A very hip restaurant in Chinatown with burgers and other bar food, along with yummy bistro dishes.
   
3. Domku - Slavic Scandinavian Comfort Food - Odd mixture of cultures, but excellent food.
   
4. Cosi - A chain that serves freshly made salads, sandwiches and pizza. Way better than average.
   
5. Rumberos - Latin American tapas, and drinks
   
6. Georgia Brown's - Bill Clinton's favorite restaurant; Low Country cuisine
   
7. Luna Grill & Diner - A typical cafe, but a local favorite.
   
8. Mama Ayesha's - Excellent Lebanese/Syrian food. I went twice!
9. Five Guys - As previously mentioned, best burgers on the planet.
