Have you ever been to place where you feel you are in a different country? Well!!!! Welcome to Germany BABY!! The front bar is stunningly constructed with old mohogany that gives you an instantaneous feeling of being in a bar in a small town in Germany where you go get a couple pints. Now, there is more.... the outside patio is where the action is. A huge tent covers the main patio just in case of torrential rains, 'cause you know we have so many of those...*wink*...I think is more for keeping from the sun and not scorching while you are indeed enjoying that pint. Large screen TVs surround the walls and give you an opportunity to catch your favorite game at any time. The bier comes in different sizes... Up to a litre...well at least that is what I have. Their main specialties are german biers and the do offer a large variate of that.....and superb authentic German food and of course outstandingly thoughtful service!!!
Definitively a must visit!

Little Miss Whiskey's Golden Dollar
Located in an upcoming neighborhood, this place is a little diamond in the rough. I have been a couple times here now and I must say this place is fun fun fun. This place is tricky as from the outside it looks just like another row house...but it sports two huge levels and a huge patio. Attracting neighborhood urbinites of different backgrounds, this place has lots to offer. The bartenders are extremely friendly. The music is always hopping and the bar has a wide selection of beers that will make your eyes pop! Beware though is cash only, but an atm is conveniently located in the premises.

Have you ever seen an actual old skool diner in the city? Well now you can!! You cannot help it, but love the nostalgic feeling of the "Classic American Diner" that is often characterized by glimmering stainless steel exterior --a feature unique to diner architecture. It's nice to see the prototypical "rail car" style diner circa 1930s adorn Bladensburg road in D.C. Classic!
The staff is extremely friendly and the service is quick and immaculate. I have been to several diners up in the New York, Jersey area and I always find that there is a certain sence of uncleanliness that can come across, well this place doesn't. This place is kept clean. The kitchen area is extremely busy as the pace of customers in an out this joint on a busy day is insane. This place can get packed, and this is an understatement. The cliente is eclectic, youg families, seniors and urbanites of the such.
Try hitting Sunday brunch a little bit earlier than expected or you will end up waiting for a little while. I am not saying hours as the service is very fast. All I am saying is, if you are hungry go early. The food is American diner style, burgers, fries, breakfast. A must have are the waffle fries. DELICIOUS!
There are many weekly specials featured on the menu, and needless to say the prices are to die for.

Grandville Moore's
1238 H St NE
(between N 12th St & N 13th St)
Washington, DC 20002
Set in an old veterinarean office that has been stripped to the bone and made into an establishment with tons of character. This ultra casual place is totally unpretancious. From the front is kind of hard to extablis h its location as there is no large sign out front other than a non lit sign on the window.
Perfect for a friends night out, GM offers a wide selection of beers. Beers not easily found at the local liquor store. Make sure that with those beers (notice how I plurilized) you order the frites with an array of dipping sauces....the truffled one is to die for.
The wait times can be a little offputting, but it's nothing to worry about, if you come on a weeknight at around 6 or 7 you should be fine. Plus there are always the bars (one upstairs and one downstairs). Additionally, if there is a wait, the guy at the door will take your telephone number and call you when they are ready. You do not have to stay within the premises, you can in fact wonder to a nearby watering hole and enjoy some brew there if you prefer.
The main attraction of the place are the mussels, please keep in mind mussels are better during the months that end with er, such as September - December. The mussels steamed in many sauces. My favorite is the moules bleu, or bleu mussels in a blue cheese sauce. Phenomenal when soaked up by bread.
All the other food, wich I have honeslty never had, I have been informed is delicious. If you are a true foodie this is a must try place for you.
