Lena's is right near me. I could probably walk if I really wanted to on a nice day. The yelp page looks legit too. I think that will be my next spot to try.

Who hasn't though? Something as stupid as a lid not being on something at the time it was seen by the inspector can get you dinged.

I swear every woman in this city is the same when trying to date.
"LOVE TO TRAVEL - OMG BRUNCH! - FUCK TRUMP! - FEMINIST!"
Every single one is the same. What is with women in this town and brunch? Why is this meal significant? I wish I had a word filter that could just block anyone who mentions brunch. It'd save me from carpal tunnel.

My Lannister drink was pretty strong but of course I was talking to him about how much the Starks are twats. He liked that.
Also you're Naaptyme and an alcoholic. It'll take more than that.

The bartender said in October they are doing a one month only of something. They don't tell the bartenders until 1 week before the public though so he didn't know.

Yeah I hope it's Zelda or Star Wars. Probably Star Wars if it's a month.
They did a Mario themed bar there and it was a massive hit. 2+hour lines.

The family & I are going to DC (&NY) for the next 3 weeks. Looking for good food recommendations, especially non Asian since I can get plenty of that here in AU.
Specifically where is the best Mexican in DC? I love super strong flavours (Indian is my favourite) and good Mexican restaurants aren't too common over here. In fact any good American style (central or south) style restaurants to try would be good since they are pretty thin on the ground over here.

Get some Ethiopian food if you're in DC and like strong flavors. The biggest Ethiopian population outside Africa is in DC. Any restaurant in Northwest DC our just over the line in Maryland will be fantastic and authentic. Silver Spring is an especially big hub with probably a dozen or more.
For Mexican, most any taco truck with Hispanics ordering from it will be better than any restaurant.
I personally prefer pupusas to tacos, so if you see a Pupuseria truck grab some of those. Big El Salvadorian population too, so they'll be great.

Lots of food trucks around the Smithsonian on 14th street down to 7th.
Great Ethiopian food in DC. If you are driving you can hit up Silver Spring for some good food there. If you are not go here Chercher Ethiopian Restaurant & Mart - Washington, DC, DC.
If you can get to the wharf get some crabcakes and try Old Bay. I work down there so lmk if you need any advice for travel.

So far we've hit Jamaican in NJ, El Salvadoran in Gaithersburg, done the crabcakes and Ethiopian in DC. Been keeping an eye out for the pupusas but haven't seen them so far, all the food trucks seem the same, either bubble tea or a mix of Mexican and deep fried stuff.
Pick of the litter so far was an Indian place called Rasika, pretty damn good food and had different dishes than we get at Indian places in AU.
Couple more days in DC for us then we're headed to NY.
By the way we can get Old Bay seasoning in the supermarket in Australia so there's no need for me to try smuggling it!

Instead of taking the highway directly from DC, head up along Route 1 (or hop over to Route 1 from I-95. They're parallel and super close). There is an awesome pupuseria along the way.
Little Deli and Cafe
Absolutely authentic. It's just a little family place. I have friends who live near the University of Maryland in that area, and I often stop and pick up pupusas on the way home.
