I just started working around the Faragut West/Golden Triangle area two weeks ago. Give me your favorite places to eat lunch around this area with a location and a breif description. So far I've been eating alot of Cosi's and Goldies Italian and today I discovered The Brown Bag on 18th Street.

Uh, oh. While there are excepctions, I've found that more often than not, that means up go the prices and down goes the quality when it comes to the restaurant business.

If you are where I think you are then you are kind of near High Noon where you should go because it's awesome and my friend's dad owns it
-
There are 3 McDonalds in the Golden Trianlge and at least 10 Starbucks. What more do you need?
-
I can't remember the exact name, it may be something like Sunshine Cafe, but it's on I Street between 16th & 17th. It's one of those food by the pound places, but it's big, clean and they have a good selection of sandwiches, too. It's run by a Latino family.
Also, there's a Teaism near there at 800 Connecticut Ave.

Nirvana on 18th and K. Moby Dick, a little closer to Dupont. Baja Fresh on 20th and I (?).
-
For sushi, there's Cafe Asia near 18th & I and Kaz on 19th & I.
I can't believe I still remember all this!

I had lunch with a buddy today at the Black Rooster at 1919 L Street. Good times, great reubens, and the waitress gave us each a free pint, which was our fourth. We were buzzy. The lunch was good too.

Nooshi, 1120 19th Street. Used to be Oodles Noodles, now includes sushi. Great for after work too -- food is inexpensive, they have drink specials. It's next to the Greek deli. Which is insanely great and insanely a lot of food.

Potbelly's can't be beat. Wish they'd put one in near my work.

There's one near my office and at noon, the line is out the door. Never been there, what's so great about it?
-
they make tasty sammiches
-
Come on... Potbelly's good, but they're about on the same level as Quizno's really.
-
potbelly is 1/2 the price of quiznos. if you want to loose weight, go to teaism.

My previous job was in the middle of nowhere, and all we had was a McDonalds. Therefore, I have sworn to eat that crap as little as possible for as long as I'm working downtown.
Oh, and I don't drink Coffee.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

Found Dickey's today...had a wonderful roast beef on sour dough with horseraddish sauce, sprouts, lettuce and tomato. That place is definitely a keeper, so thanks!
