Haven't been to Kinkead's in about 4 years, but it was good then.

I think Vidalia has come back--I've been recently and it's never been better.

It's Kinkead's, not Kinkaids. (Sorry, I'm not usually a spelling crank but the repetition was driving me a little nuts.)

I miss the place that was in there before Kinkead's, in the 80s. I can't remember the name. But they had a great happy hour and great seafood nachos.

Along those lines, Luigis on 19th Street for comfort style Italian food. The website says it was opened in 1943!

Isn't that true everywhere? is there something unique to DC?


No, this was saying because dc is such a transient area there isnt a place that stays good for years and years. It's kind of a "what's hot now" type of thing. Most places get really really popular by word of mouth and stay good for about 6-9 months then becomes kind if blah

Not in DC, but Crisfields on Georgia Ave ( Silver Spring) has been around since the forties. Decent crabcakes.

I didn't know Sam and Harry's closed. That's too bad.

C.F. Folks and the Well Dressed Burrito are worth it.


YES! I cannot believe people don't realize this! Clyde's food is not good.

Vidalia? Forever, no, but quite a long time and always delicious.

I used to go there in college back when it was in a small store front in Georgetown run by white hippies.

AV closed in 2007. It did not have great food, just a great "Sopranos" atmosphere. I second Martin's and Tabard Inn if you want old DC places. Are Meskerem and Millie and Al's still in Adams Morgan? That was my old stomping ground back in the days of my youth.


had a great new year's eve at Meskerem


I think I must know you. I spent a lot of time at Meskerem and Millie and Al's in the lat 80s and early 90s.


Remember Fish Wings and Tings? Hank's?
Oh yes I think I went there back in the day! Great gingerade!
