"This neighborhood American tavern is known for its burger that swaps ketchup for a tangy house “Avenue” sauce. Angus beef patties — one or two — are topped all the traditional cheeseburger accoutrements (shredded lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, and American cheese). Its covered patio deck is also the seasonal spot to pick local crabs seasoned with its own Capital Crab spice. Owner Tim Walsh is gearing up to flip the block’s long-closed American City Diner into an all-outdoor, horse-themed hangout next spring." - Mekita Rivas, Tierney Plumb
