Where To Eat & Drink With Out-Of-Towners

"When you have visitors in town, time is usually limited - so they might get confused/extremely annoyed when you suggest Kedai Makan, a Malaysian restaurant on Capitol Hill that has a notorious multi-hour wait at peak times. But after they actually eat the food here, they’ll get it. Once you’re in the bright, teal space, the plates of spiced fried chicken, mushroom pan mee noodles, and beef ribs stewed in black vinegar will get your people on board immediately. Just hearing your friend muffle “I understand now” with a mouth full of lamb curry is satisfaction enough." - aimee rizzo
