621975 Fri May 22 17:42:49 -0700 2009 11 14 Washington DC & Baltimore Area 0 4707943 We would greatly appreciate dinner recommendations for a good, ethnic restaurant near 11th and E Street, NW. Fri May 22 17:42:49 -0700 2009 56335 cybera97 1 4708238 Central is a French bistro at Penn and about 10th.

Sat May 23 17:35:42 -0700 2009 4707943 205227 Doh 1 4709915 Bistro D'Oc is close by. Sat May 23 19:39:47 -0700 2009 4707943 222406 Mer_Made 1 4711087 Not a whole lot of ethnic eats in that area unless you count TenPehn as ethnic. I go to the E Street Cinema all the time though my favorite places to eat afterwards is the charming Bistro D'Oc or the trendy Central. Both are great! Sun May 24 13:26:29 -0700 2009 4707943 76776 Elyssa 1 4715498 I imagine you don't mean trendy/fusion/hip "ethnic" places as many have suggested. If you want more "hole in the wall," Chinatown is close by. The Chinese restaurants are not as good as you find in SF or NY, but quite a few will fit the bill. Try doing a search on here for some well-liked Chinese restaurants in the area. Tue May 26 10:08:38 -0700 2009 4707943 18011 Jacey 1 4716589 What's your budget looking like? And how far are you willing to walk? Tosca, D'Acqua, and Fogo De Chao are a stones throw from that area, but they aren't exactly cheap. (they're inexactly expensive in my book) Cafe Atlantico, Rosa Mexicano, Jaleo, and Oyamel are also in that area as well. Asia 9 and Ten Penh, if you're feeling like Pan Asian. Tue May 26 15:14:53 -0700 2009 4707943 123581 WestIndianArchie 1 4717857 there is a Teaism in Penn Quarter and it's pretty decent. Inexpensive, not "trendy". Wed May 27 04:02:00 -0700 2009 4707943 51422 Jeserf 1 4718244 Agree with others that you need to define budget and what precisely you mean by "ethnic." But just in terms of proximity, Asia 9 and Cafe Atlantico are both very close. Wed May 27 07:15:08 -0700 2009 4707943 87249 katecm
