Z Burger, a casual fast food burger joint, offers two D.C. locations, including one just two short blocks from Nebraska Avenue. The counter service only eatery features a casual interior outfitted with track lighting, modern fixtures, brightly colored walls and exposed vents. Simple diner fare includes hamburgers, french fries and hot dogs, all made from premium American beef and cholesterol-free peanut oil. The restaurant also offers more than 75 different malts and shakes, such as strawberry banana and cookie dough. Although the surrounding region features street parking, the Tenleytown-AU metro station sits just four blocks from Z Burger.
Masala Art lies in the ground floor of a Masonic temple, buried amidst a collage of nondescript store fronts. The restaurant sits just around the corner from the Tenleytown-AU metro station. The restaurant seats 45 diners and features a streamlined interior complete with dark wood furnishings, linen napkins, hardwood floors and earth tone colored walls and booths. The Indian-based menu offers approximately 60 items, including chicken tikka masala, shrimp curry and cottage cheese tandori. With a minimum $20 order, delivery remains free within a two mile radius.
Located just half a block from Masala Art, Guapo's features street parking in the surrounding area, as well as a garage structure across the street. The Mexican restaurant's interior offers a relaxed setting with brick tiled floors, sombreros hanging from the ceiling, brightly colored walls and wood furnishings. The restaurant also includes bar and outdoor patio seating. The menu includes such Mexican cuisine as chile relleno, fajitas and various entrees made from homemade tortillas. The restaurant offers brunch on the weekends.
Comet Ping Pong lies in D.C.'s Chevy Chase region, a decidedly suburban area. The decor offers a casual vibe complete with picnic tables, distressed walls and exposed metal beam ceilings. The on-site ping pong tables add to the laid back setting. The menu includes gourmet pizzas featuring such toppings as potatoes, vegan soy mozzarella, Italian fennel sausage and capers. The bar serves up a wide variety of beers and wine, the latter of which diners may order by the glass, half-carafe or carafe. The restaurant also features live musical performances from local bands, typically on weekend evenings. Tables at the front of the restaurant offer the best views of the ping pong games.
