There is practically a restaurant, or five, on every block in the District, each one presenting a wide variety of options to choose from. Depending on what neighborhood you are in, you could eat cuisine and experience the culinary culture of 10 different countries, all without leaving a single block! A few good examples of some of these spots would be the U Street neighborhood, Adams Morgan, Georgetown, and Dupont Circle, among others. When you take into consideration the typical student’s budget, the more viable restaurants would be in U Street and Adams Morgan, which not only hold the advantage of being but a few blocks away from the campus, but are also kinder to your wallet, as opposed to the pricier Georgetown restaurants. Also, the closer to the campus a restaurant is, the more likely it is to be open late.
Of all the great restaurants to visit, Tropicana, a Jamaican takeout restaurant on U Street, is a must, with great food, huge portions, and great prices. Some runner-ups include Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries, not far from campus. These options are great for eating on the move, but for those times that you want to have a three-course meal at a nice sit-down restaurant, some good places include Buca di Beppo and Mar de Plata. The bottom line is: you’ll have opportunities to try new types of cuisine, but there’s an excellent chance that in DC you will be able to find anything you’re craving, all within a reasonable range of prices.

IHOP
This restaurant is very good for someone that can eat breakfast at any point or time of the day. It has filling and healthy choices as well. Also it does sell dinner and lunch items if you are not in the mood for pancakes after breakfast hours. And its open 24 hours a day, so when all the other restaurants are closed, you are guaranteed a great meal

Check Out Ust
Ust is walking distance from campus. There is such a variety of places you can chose from. Alero is one of my favorite spots.

Columbia Heights and Adams Morgan
Columbia Heights has Potbelly, IHOP, Chipotle, Panera Bread, and more. Adams Morgan is more diverse food wise and has more options than Columbia Heights. Like Italian food, ethopian food, , chinese food and more. Just over by Meridian Hill Hall to these fabulous food destinations.
