"Florida Avenue Grill has been a DC institution since 1944. It’s an old-school diner, so think tattered vinyl booths and bar seats that have withstood the test of time, with customers that range from longtime regulars to the occasional tourist. Their world-famous hot cakes, served with butter, cinnamon, and powdered sugar, are the stuff of dreams—they’re light, fluffy, buttery, and sweet. Things take time here and the service can be slow, but as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait." - omnia saed, tristiana hinton
