"There’s no debate here: Your safest bet for good food, and a good time, is at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. When the museum first opened, the Sweet Home Café was a popular attraction for both tourists and locals, and while the initial hype has died down, you can still score a solid meal for under $30—especially if you stick with the fried chicken and collard greens." - omnia saed
