Everyone's favorite falafel joint in Adams Morgan has always screamed European. Obviously with the name, Amsterdam Falafelshop, the Dutch mayo, and pictures of the Netherlands pasted all over. But now they're going European in one more way. Amsterdam Falafelshop now accepts payment in Euros. Is it a sign of the increasing value of the Euro, which is now worth $1.50 USD? According to Falafelier Pete Barich, it was because tourists from out of town......

This post is by DCist Contributor Eddie Kim "A hotdog is a hotdog." Audacious–if not strange–words coming from Tony Tabdili, co-investor and gourmet hotdog slinger at M’Dawg Haute Dogs in Adams Morgan. Would you walk into the Westminster Dog Show and say a shitzu is the same as a pug? A chihuahua the same as a great dane? Certainly not. And just like the many breeds of dogs in the world, there are just as......

By DCist contributor Analiese Bendorf The Big Apple's Harvest Export Attention, all ye who still doubt whether one may dine seriously in DC (and we hope there aren't many of you left), you may soon be tempted to cancel that weekend jaunt to Manhattan. Washingtonian's Todd Kliman reports in this week's online chat that high-profile chef Eric Ripert, of N.Y.C.'s famed Le Bernardin, plans to bring his four-star culinary talent to D.C., where he will......

Good morning, Washington. We were happy to see today will be partly cloudy and slighly cooler than recently - highs in the upper 80s, and a 30 percent chance of rain. We thought this photo of Georgetown at dusk, snapped and Photoshopped by DCBlogs' Patrick Thibodeau, captures D.C.'s August haze and heat. Reader Services Department: A reader wrote to us last week asking us to post a link to a Craigslist posting about his stolen......

(Editor's Note: This is our 12th installment of Eating In. Over the past months we think we've made some terrific dishes: a version of the Amsterdam Falafelshop's Israeli Falafel; enchiladas using Chicken Out's 7 Spices Chicken; and a truly traditional Caesar Salad, to name just a few off the full menu. Now we're eager to hear your feedback. Have you tried any of our recipes? How did it turn out? Are there any meals or......

Only one column in and DCist's resident chef, Scott Reitz, is already departing from our quick, easy, and elegant motif. Trust us -- the extra work for this one is definitely worth it. For years, the inebriated youth of Adams Morgan have had but two simple choices to combat their drunken munchies. On one side of 18th Street sat Burrito Brothers, and on the other, a menagerie of pizza parlors touting their "Jumbo Slice". While......

Wow, we thought Inauguration-related protests had run their course, but we learn from the Post that anarchists went wild in Adams Morgan late Thursday night. This DCist was eating at the Amsterdam Falafelshop on 18th Street and we didn't sense that much was going on. But we guess we were distracted by our fries and falafel to notice that post-Counter Inaugural activities were getting out of hand on the streets. From the Post: Self-described......

The Post's "You Haven't Lived Here If You Haven't ..." feature on Sunday traveled to Adams Morgan to enjoy a jumbo slice at Pizza Mart. By featuring just Pizza Mart, we aren't sure if the Post crowned the jumbo slices that can be found at 2445 18th St. NW as the best on the block, as there are others. (For atmosphere, we're partial to Pizza Napoli. There's nothing like post-last call revelry while chowing down......

So the Amsterdam Falafel Shop has been up and running at 2425 18th St. in Adams Morgan for the past few weeks and though the buzz was low-key at first, foodies around town are starting to give their thumbs up. DCist hasn't been there yet, but here's what the eGullet food forum says. It's the real deal-- falafel fried to order, good bread, the huge array of toppings and sauces... Talked to one of the......
