Greater U Street

Breakfast: Busboys and Poets (2021 14th St. NW). I ordered the Mahi Mahi, blackened with a lemon-pepper aioli and served with sweet potato fries ($10), and sampled the Sweet Fuji Apple sandwich ($7.50), served with Gorgonzola and a fig spread on walnut raisin bread. The OJ is freshly squeezed.

Lunch: DC Noodles (1410 U St. NW). I ordered the "noodles in spicy soup" ($12), served with ground peanuts, chili pepper, bean sprouts, carrots, cilantro, spring onion and my choice of noodle (I had the wide variety) and "meat" (I had the tofu, hence the quotation marks).
