As part of my quest to get to know and celebrate my neighborhood, I have set forth to dine at the many restaurants Tenleytown has to offer. I’ll mostly be sticking with local fare, rather than the big chains (sorry Subway and Popeyes!). Check the blog frequently for my amateur restaurant reviews, and add your own take in the comments section. I’d also love your suggestions for restaurants I should try. For now, here’s a list of some of my old favorites and places I’ll be visiting for the first time:
