You name two of the best. Luigi's is roughly on 19th and M Street, which is not terribly far from the White House area. (It would depend on where you were precisely as to whether you consider it walking distance). I have not been eating in the neighborhood very much, and some of the places that I liked when I happened upon them over the years are not even there anymore. My wife has a little more experience in the general area, but usually went to Georgia Brown's or a hotel restaurant for business lunches. I will try to dig up a couple more places, either in consultation with her, or through reputation, if we have not eaten there. I will try to get back to you before the weekend is out.........

This is a Fodor's recommendation. I have not been in years, but recall it as being an impressively homey place, and a great deal: Sholl's Colonial Cafeteria 1990 K St. NW Washington Phone: 202/296-3065 Under $15 Downtown American Here the slogan is "Where good foods are prepared right, served right, and priced right"--and truer words were never spoken. Suited federal workers line up next to pensioners and students to grab a bite at this D.C. institution, which is open for breakfast, lunch, and an early dinner. Favorites include chopped steak, roast beef, liver and onions, and baked chicken and fish for less than $5. Sholl's is famous for its fruit pies: all the desserts are scrumptious and cost around $1. No credit cards. No dinner Sun.

I have not gotten to this restaurant personally, but have seen it highly recommended in more than one food column: Bombay Palace Indian Very Best Downtown 2020 K Street, NW Washington, DC 202-331-4200 Open for lunch and dinner daily. A favorite of executives from the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, Bombay Palace pioneered upscale Indian dining in Washington. Although it has been upstaged a bit by Heritage India, its consistently excellent kitchen and attentive service remain unchanged. And as always, a good part of the pleasure of dining at Bombay Palace is that sense of luxurious comfort one feels in its handsome dining room. As at most local Indian restaurants, appetizers are the weakest part of the menu. An exception is a combination platter of tandoor-cooked kebabs with an assertively spicy sauce. If there are four at your table, you can partner the kebabs with an order of deliciously crusty tandoori prawns. One need not stray from the classics on the menu--fiery Madras chicken curry, spicy lamb vindaloo, and a soothing mixture of spinach and squares of house-made cheese--to dine well at Bombay Palace. But a representative meal here would be incomplete without at least one of its less familiar dishes: Kashmiri lamb curry simmered in almond sauce, Malabar Coast curry of fish simmered in coconut milk with mustard seeds, or the sweet-sour Peshwari chickpea curry with tamarind sauce and pomegranate seeds. —Robert Shoffner January 2000

Since I have seafood galore in Annapolis, I have never gone out of my way to go here. However, I understand it to be very good, if pricey: KINKEAD'S $49 Foggy Bottom/K Street 2000 Pennsylvania Ave., NW (I St., bet. 20th & 21st Sts.) Washington, DC, 20006-1812 (202) 296-7700 Bob Kinkead's "very original" seafood-oriented New American cooking has made this power-central destination the Washington Survey's Most Popular restaurant and one of the toughest reservations in town; its "no-kinks" perfectionism makes it a "special-occasion" site that "instantly impresses" with "stylish" brass-and-cherrywood surroundings, a "knowledgeable" (if "arrogant") staff and "superb fish dishes" (ranked "the best" in DC); the bottom line: this is "a treat" "not to be missed."
