Local 16

Local 16 is both a nice neighborhood eatery and a lively weekend hotspot and the dishes unpretentious and quite tasty. The fact that they work with many locally grown ingredients really scores high in our books, we’re all about being local here at Food Washington, and it’s refreshing to see a restaurant be that way.

The menu includes some of the typical American staple dishes, meaning, Pizzas, Cheesesteaks, and fries. The pizzas are somewhat unique, they come in squares and are pretty tasty. The wonderful thing here though is that the preparation is quick and painless, so you can fueled up and get on your way into the city or on your way back home after a night of partying. While Mario’s is a pizza joint, the cheese steaks as mentioned before a
