\"Dc_photo\"<\/a> So Foodmomiac<\/a>, whose writing, recipes and self I hold in high regard, asks for five top restaurants in one’s hometown.  I have to do 10 — 5 PRE-kosher life and 5 SINCE Kosher life.<\/p>\n

Since Kosher is easiest since there are only around 10 in DC anyway<\/p>\n

JCC Cafe<\/a> – more nicely appointed than the others and nice, regular food. <\/p>\n

Pita Plus<\/a> – Shwarma and lots of other Middle Eastern meat stuff<\/p>\n

Max’s <\/a>– Great matzo ball soup, schwarma, so-so fried chicken, good fries (according to my husband) etc.<\/p>\n

Eli’s<\/a> – a NY coffee shop type menu – salads with sliced steak, burgers (zillions of types) plus some real "entrees."<\/p>\n

Ben Yehuda Pizza<\/a> – Great pizza w\/spinach and tomato and lots more.<\/p>\n

NOW – before we began our Kosher life – there were several we loved.  Here are 5 of them:<\/p>\n

Bistro Bis<\/a> – cool, beautiful and delicious — American\/French cuisine – light.<\/p>\n

Neyla<\/a> – Spectacular Middle Eastern food in an elegant setting (expensive)<\/p>\n

Cafe Milano<\/a> – The Clintons eat here and so do a lot of other "cool folks" on the patio and inside… but celebrity haven or not it’s great Italian food (expensive)<\/p>\n

Bombay Club<\/a> – A fabulous Indian restaurant with a great outdoor area for dinner near the White House at dusk.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
