Although it's possible to eat /almost/ everywhere as a DC veg, it's hard to find the kind of creative-&-awesome vegetarian or punk-kitchen vegan spots many of us love in other cities. Thus, this list.
1778 U St NW (at Florida Ave NW), Washington, D.C.
Pizzeria · U-Street · 26 tips and reviews
Laurenellen McCann: You can order (for delivery!) vegan pizza -- at a decent price to boot. (Well, compared to alternatives like Pete's...) Also, for folks out on the town: They serve vegan jumbo slice.
3740 12th St NE (at Perry St NE), Washington, D.C.
New American Restaurant · Brookland · 22 tips and reviews
Laurenellen McCann: The chefs here are artists (seriously: the vegan shrimp basket will blow your mind)...and not too many folks seem to know it. This is a great not-so-hidden hidden spot to take folks to.
(See Twitter for current location), Washington, D.C.
Food Truck · Northwest Washington · 1 tip
Laurenellen McCann: Juice Truck! Support these awesome people: They'll give you amazing, fresh kale juice and other goodies. Moderate-ish price but super healthy servings...!
Laurenellen McCann: It's awesome to be at a place and be able to eat almost everything on the menu: vegan hotdogs, chili, vegan options everywhere. Plus, good beer & tables made of pinball machines. This place rocks.
Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurant · Pleasant Plains · 78 tips and reviews
Laurenellen McCann: There's a learning curve for your first trip, but the payoff in food quality, variety, and serving sizes makes this 100% worth it (and a return visit).
Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurant · Connecticut Avenue - K Street · 21 tips and reviews
Laurenellen McCann: Expensive smoothies, but worth it. (One of the few spots in the city to score green smoothies outside of your own kitchen.) And, in case you're wondering, Java Green > Cafe Green, but same mgmt.
2106 18th St NW (at California St NW), Washington, D.C.
Mexican Restaurant · Adams Morgan · 28 tips and reviews
Laurenellen McCann: Finally made it in here, thanks to DC Meat-Free Week. All the food was incredibly fresh (you can taste the corn - real corn - in the tortillas) and the dishes super welcoming to the veggie palate.
1341 L St NW (btwn 13th & 14th St NW), Washington, D.C.
Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurant · Downtown-Penn Quarter-Chinatown · 10 tips and reviews
Laurenellen McCann: Elizabeth's might be $$$, but the food is creative, the presentation is classy but unpretentious, and the kale chips are to die for. Save up and give this place a try. Absolutely worth it.
