Northeast Restaurants

The Italian food is just one of the many reasons why people flock to the northeast area of Washington, D.C. Here, classics like spaghetti and pizza take on fresh tones with flavor infusions drawn from across the Mediterranean. It's not all about the dishes from Naples, however. Other restaurants reflect the diversity of the neighborhood’s large African-American population. One eatery may have Southern-style biscuits and gravy on the menu, and right next door, a hip bar might be serving dawa, a cocktail originally from Kenya. The global adventure doesn't end there. While you're in northeast D.C., stop by a food truck to get a taste of authentic tacos.
