The First Timer’s Guide To Eating & Drinking In DC - Washington DC - The Infatuation

"To get an understanding of just how good the food in DC truly is, go to Thip Khao. The Lao restaurant in Columbia Heights is one of the best restaurants in the city, which is why there’s a line by the time they open their doors. Every dish here is bursting with flavor. The mee kathi, a noodle soup made with a rich red coconut curry topped with peanuts, cabbage, bean sprout, mint and cilantro, gives you crunch and spice. The place gets packed and the tables are close together, so be prepared to get cozy with your neighbor. It just gives you a good excuse to check out what they’re eating for dinner the next time you come back, which will probably be sooner rather than later." - Omnia Saed, Tristiana Hinton
