A
Hitching Post
‘This is East Coast jazz, ’ says the owner behind the counter. ‘No one listens to this anymore.’ Another song comes up; The Drifters. Really? The Drifters and jazz in a diner so neighborly it should put on a cardigan and loafers when it comes inside? Let’s try the fried chicken…which, ohmygod, is seriously like a whole, freaking fried chicken. Served with two sides. And another man comes in and the owner calls him by name and the customer asks, ‘This the Chi-lites?’ and we know we’re in love.

Tastee Diner
Maryland's favorite greasy spoon, this is the place to get eggs at 00:00 after a night of drinking. It's an old-school diner )open since 1935) in a ramshackle tin and brick building, complete with long bar and Formica tables touting personal jukeboxes. Local high-school kids pack in on weekend nights for coffee and plates of grilled cheese with fries. See if you can guess which waitress has served here for over two decades.

Florida Avenue Grill
Besides the Hitching Post, we deem the Grill DC’s quintessential diner. Be they president, Harlem globetrotter or college student, they’ve all come here for almost 70 years to eat turkey legs, catfish and meatloaf served with sides of sweet tea and more character than Shakespeare’s collected works.
