What makes a great neighborhood restaurant? In some ways, it’s easier to pin down what it’s not: a place with a fussy menu, a two-hour line, or really any pretense at all. We gravitate to the spots on this list for the comforting food, sure. But also for things that are easy to overlook in a fast-moving dining scene. A generous welcome. Time-tested reliability. An instant sense of belonging. Here’s to more than 60 restaurants that for some or all of those reasons make the city a better place not just to eat but to live. And we need them now more than ever.
Two officers shoot man after reported robbery in Northwest D.C., police say Peter Hermann Two D.C. police officers early Friday shot a man who authorities said had moments earlier robbed and assaulted a person at gunpoint. Police said the 58-year-old man was taken to a hospital with wounds described as not life-threatening. The incident began shortly before 2:30 a.m., when police said a person was assaulted and robbed near 2nd Street and Rhode Island Avenue, in the LeDroit Park neighborhood of Northwest Washington. Police said the attacker used a gun to strike the victim. A short time later, police said officers found the alleged assailant about two blocks away in the 200 block of Florida Avenue NW. In a statement, police said the man “refused to follow numerous commands” and “two officers discharged their firearms.”
