Of the hundreds of places to eat in the District, these are some of my favorites. This list is not encyclopedic. It doesn't include the ever-changing trendy places in the U Street and Logan Circle areas. There are no rankings. These are just places -- some are single restaurants and others are locations offering lots of choices -- that you should know about if you live here.
Martin's Tavern
"This tavern in the heart of Georgetown (1264 Wisconsin Ave. NW, 202-333-7370, www.martins-tavern.com) dates from the end of Prohibition and is one of the tangible links to Washington's Camelot era. John F. Kennedy wooed Jacqueline Bouvier at these wooden tables (the exact spot has an engraved marker) and diplomats, spies and senators have supped here. The menu is traditional American with steaks and crab cakes and clam chowder. The Sunday brunch features all the favorites. There is a long bar that attracts a younger crowd, but the diners are a mix of locals, international businessmen and tourists."
