DC Food Trucks Online Washington DC
Locate eats on the go
Lydia from Washington DC
In recent years, DC's food truck scene has exploded, giving chefs from all over the region the chance to share their talents without the expense of a brick and mortar restaurant. Finding them used to be touch and go, happenstance, a chance lucky encounter between your appetite and geographic location, but now there's an app for that. Enter Food Truck Fiesta, a geolocator that lets you find your favorite truck or a specialty you're hankering after, or get a review on the vendor before you get lunch.
On a recent day, the site had over 216 DC-area food trucks listed as active, with a short stack of other trucks that don't tweet their whereabouts. If you can't locate a truck with Food Truck Fiesta, or you're moving on to take in another local, try Roaming Hunger, a national site that covers several cities. (https://roaminghunger.com/food-trucks/)
Many trucks post their whereabouts on Instagram and Twitter, so I can follow my favorites daily. Oh, and if you decide you'd like to try your hand at owning one, Food Truck Fiesta also lists trucks for sale.

Wednesday salsa night

The Coffee Bar
Charm and personality
"The Coffee Bar" is a wonderful coffee spot in Washington DC, in a somewhat quiet area. I love their outside patio to enjoy my coffee with some sun.

ArtJamz
Paint and sip
"ArtJamz" in Washington DC is cool. It's basically an art studio where I go to hang out with friends, a date, or just to destress with a drink & paint.

Izakaya Seki
Big taste & small plates
"Izakaya Seki" in Washington DC is the restaurant I go to when I want authentic but unfamiliar Japanese food, a place for somewhat adventurous diners!

LeTena
Modern, fast, casual Ethiopian
"LeTena" Washington DC takes a slightly different approach with Ethiopian food, somewhere between being a restaurant & a casual place. I love the prices.
