"This upper Northwest delicatessen is a standard-bearer for pastrami or beef brisket on toasted rye, but there are plenty of other great options at this classic deli. Freshly made chicken curry or jumbo shrimp salad hit the spot, as well as a bowl of sesame noodles. In the market itself, find classic cheeses, fresh pies and cupcakes, grilled vegetables at the prepared foods section, dried fruit snacks, and plenty more to chew on in nearby Turtle Park or the many other scenic outdoor areas sprinkled throughout Spring Valley." - Emily Venezky
"Around since 1925, this legendary D.C. butcher shop is also known for deli sandwiches and prepared foods. With a location on New Mexico Avenue, just off American University’s campus, students can drop in from breakfast for a large selection of sandwiches, entrees, burgers, calzones, and more." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Have a hankering for some brisket, matzoh ball soup, or deli sandwich on a Monday? This longstanding deli (with two locations) keeps things running at the beginning of the week." - Missy Frederick, Tim Ebner
"Around since 1925, the tried-and-true D.C. butcher and market offers an array of kosher wines, seder plates, starters, cooked entrees, sides, and sweets to assemble a spot-on Passover meal at home. Choose from matzo-stuffed chicken breast, spinach kugel, beef tenderloin, chocolate-dipped macaroons, and more. Order online for pickup or local delivery." - Evan Caplan
"With a sandwich and meat selection that's hard to match, Wagshal's has been open in upper Northwest since 1925. Known for their pastrami, meatloaf sandwiches, and the iconic presence of Pam “The Butcher” Ginsberg, there are now multiple locations across the District. Its “Grand Bodega” opened north of the Palisades this summer." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
