I'd wolf down pasta at Ecco in Old Town - god, the fettucine was delicious.
Austin Grill for throwing back margaritas. Guapos too.
Not to mention the delicious, sumptuous takeaway Italian at Listrani's or La Piazza Old Town.

I bet we know each other. LOL.

I loved Ecco. Great mussels. Their Key Lime pie was fabulous too.

The Indian place in Del Ray - in an apartment building. I forget the name of it, but man was it ever delicious!

Bombay Curry! They had a chicken and lentil dish I ordered so many times that once they took me into the kitchen and showed me how to make it! I still make it a few times a year.

Generous George’s was awful!

NP. My first job was at Generous George’s. Those serving sizes were scandalous. Like a pound of served on top of a thick pizza crust “plate”. And it wasn’t family style.

Yes loved Au Pied de Cochon after bar hopping! Dominque’s - I really miss lobster thermidor and grand mariner soufflé. Haven’t had it since they closed.

Went there for dinner before prom. So fun.

I grew up in DC and miss a ton of things from when it was fun and quirky, but I completely disagree about 2002 being a good time to live in DC. Post 9/11, anthrax scare, snipers, Patriot Act craziness. I know people feel like whatever time they are experiencing is the hardest ever, so maybe you’re forgetting that 2002 was rough.
