Top choice in Washington, DC
Order at the counter then take your luscious, heaped-on-housemade-bread sandwich – perhaps the smoked salmon and scallion cream cheese on an open-faced baguette, or the fried green tomatoes on buttered griddled sourdough – to a bench or table in the big, open room.

Beer, wine and cocktails are also available. Sweet treats come from sibling Baked & Wired in Georgetown.
