evening star cafe

if you live in the washington, dc metro area you have to make it a point to get to the evening star cafe. it is in the heart of del ray and is a tiny treasure. i went twice last week (yes, twice) and it was fabulous. their wine list is good - and cheap - and the food is excellent. if you go, make sure to get the gnocchi mac and cheese. divine.

evening star cafe is owned by the same people as tallula, another restaurant i am a huge fan of. go! enjoy!
