Ask Tom

dinner from Popeyes for my
birthday this year. (“You can’t do
that,” my S.O. sadly countered. I
got my spicy fix a few weeks ago,
though.)

Q: We are finally bringing our

ASK TOM FROM 16 family to Washington in June
and plan to see some of the
major tourist sites. We will be
staying near the cathedral and
will have a car. We are on a
budget (under $20 per person all
in) but still want to have some
interesting, delicious meals. My
kids (7, 9, 11) are well behaved in

restaurants and like a variety of

cuisines. Any ideas for us?

A: Near where you’re staying,

there’s one of D.C.’s most popular

pizzerias, 2 Amys, which has the

bonus of a rear patio.

You don’t mention where

you’re coming from, but

remember that D.C. is a world

capital, home to lots of

international food.

This trip might be a good

opportunity to check out Afghan

fare (Lapis in Adams Morgan,

Bistro Aracosia in the

Palisades); Ethiopian cooking,

which you eat with your fingers;

and Immigrant Food, with

locations near the White House

and Franklin Square. I also love

to show off Eastern Market on

the Hill to visitors, with a trip to

Market Lunch.
