2 Amy's Neapolitan Pizzeria is a bustling wood-oven pizzeria serves innovative Neapolitan-style pies and Italian wine by the glass. They were the first certified Neapolitan pizza place in the United States. Their wood-fired pizza is the best, but their side dishes are even better.

A. Litteri's is an old-school Italian grocery store and deli drawing foodies for meatball subs, homemade sausages and more. Their selection of pasta, olive oil, etc. are vast. The main reason I have been going back is for their cured Italian meats along with the service. The other things I have been known to order is their meatball sub, but my favorite is the create your own cured meat sub. When I order my sub with all the extras, it costs me about $13 or $14, but it's enough for two or three meals.

Amsterdam Falafel

2425 18th St NW
Washington, DC 20009

(202) 234-1969

Amsterdam Falafel serves Falafel with pita bread plus Middle Eastern salads and Belgian fries at the late-night quick-serve eatery in Adams Morgan part of Washington, DC. You can get a large or a small Falafel. The difference is the small has three Falafel balls, and the large has five. Once you have chosen which you want you can pile on the extra ingredients until there is no more room. I suggest crushing the Falafel balls to make more space along with it allows you to spread them out inside the pita bread. NOTE: They have multiple locations.

Beefsteak

(202) 296-1421

Beefsteak is a fast-casual chain from José Andrés' restaurant group specializing in flavorful veggie and grain bowls. If more restaurants made vegetables like this, I would eat more of them. I ordered their beetsteak burger which is a vinegar marinated half an inch to three-quarters of an inch sliced golden beet on a toasted roll along with their special sauce some lettuce greens. Or order their beefsteak tomato burger which is similar to the beetsteak burger. The other thing I ordered was their gazpacho salad which was a bunch of different greens, nuts, etc. and then cold soup poured over everything. NOTE: They have multiple locations around the DC area and a few other national locations.
