We have been to 34th Street often, mostly for dinner lately but for lunch, too. Saavy insiders (or those capable of reading) know that you can park behind the rug store just west of the block the restaurant is on or in the back. The well-selected and inexpensive wine selection is a delight. The food is fresh and the ambiance is of a neighborhood place. Laura Bush used to come here with her girlfriends on weekends, a lot of people know each other. Lunches are ordered at the counter but table service is the rule in the evening. Fries here are my favorite in town.
Pros: inexpensive, friendly, fresh food
Cons: parking can be hard
