cocobinga Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Good morning, I will be traveling from Philly to DC next week and find myself struggling with lunch options along the way to my hotel in Woodley Park. Pretty much open to anything in the Maryland burbs or northwestern DC. So far, I am looking at Ruan Thai, Ren's Ramen, Nava Thai, Range, 2Amy's. Budget isn't really a concern, but I will probably hit multiple spots if I go to inexpensive options in Wheaton. Any feedback is appreciated - thank you!

Tweaked Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Assuming you are driving down the I-95? Ren's Ramen would be a good choice. R&R Tacqueria in Elkridge, MD, for gas station tacos. FishNet, in the College Park, MD area for Turkish inspired, grilled fish sandwiches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to all three of these, but unless you're a *really* big eater, you should either go to Ren's Ramen alone; or FishNet (small sandwich) + R&R (taco). Near Ren's is Max's Kosher Cafe which has the best falafel I've ever had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocobinga Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Thanks! Ramen and gyoza can be pretty gut-busting, so I will proceed with caution, haha. The following day (Saturday), I am doing brunch at either Range or VOLT; leaning towards VOLT since I had such a stellar meal there last visit. Both will be en route on my return to Kentucky.

DonRocks Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Go to brunch at Woodberry Kitchen instead of Volt. It is *the* time to go and sit on the patio there - the late summer - early autumn menu is amazing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocobinga Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Don, I'm doing Woodberry for dinner en route to Philly - do you think their brunch outshines dinner? Hell, I may even do both if the dinner is really THAT good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I may even do both if the dinner is really THAT good. Oh, then definitely do both Woodberry and Volt - right now, with all the produce coming in, Woodberry Kitchen is culinary heaven. Even if you're alone, sit on the patio if the weather is nice - it changes the entire experience from "noisy gastropub with great food" to "Michelin one-star restaurant in the French countryside." Get the bottle of Loire Valley rosé if you don't have to drive afterwards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
