This is Jettie's sandwich shop on Foxhall Road.
It's a great place to stop for, ah, a sandwich, ice cream,
an iced tea, good conversation with cute young men.
Spencer love's the Nobadeer. I like the Lobster Roll.
Whenever I see my shrink, who's office is nearby,
I stop into C.F. Folks on 19th Street for a sandwich and
pre-therapy with owner Art Carlson. The scene at the
lunch counter is cooler, and more powerful, than any
see-and-be-seen power spot in the city. The awning in the
background belongs to The Palm. Another downtown favorite.
I shouldn't even share this, because it is where I go to
hide out. It is Makoto Japanese restaurant on MacArthur
Boulevard. It's like a spa with food, and after an hour
there eating special, lovely food, I feel like I've had a
massage - both of body and mind.
I'm a chocaholic. In Georgetown there's only one place to
go to feed my habit: Leonidas Chocolates at 1531 Wisconsin Avenue. The owner, Laurent
is helpful, handsome and charming. When I'm near Mazza Gallerie
I stop into Kron's for a dose of their truffles. True killers.
Amano is known as a "tabletop" shop. That means everything for
the table. But owner Adam Mahr has much more than that. It's the best
place to buy a gift - for others OR yourself, or your garden. The service
is excellent. Ask for Adam or Jeff and say "Carol sent me."
