The Best Lunch Spots In DC - Washington DC - The Infatuation

"Mikey & Mel’s could cure even the worst bout of New York homesickness. Oversized sandwiches like the Mel—tender corned beef, not-at-all-dry turkey, swiss, coleslaw, and russian dressing—are piled high enough to require structural engineering. The sandwiches are easily enough for two meals, making them a great choice for those days you just know you’re going to be too tired after work to even contemplate dinner, much less cook it. If you don’t feel the need to schlep around half a sandwich for the rest of your day, you can’t go wrong with the hot dog—a massive all-beef number that doesn’t deserve to be buried beneath a heap of toppings. Keep it simple with a schmear of mustard and a sprinkling of sauerkraut." - allison robicelli, madeline weinfield
