Katie Lowes: Ask for the two person booth, chat with the host "Inio", snag a coaster

Tim Bradshaw: The Presidents' favourite booths: 1 for Kennedy, 2 for Nixon, 3 for where JFK proposed to Jackie, 6 for Truman, 24 in the Dugout for LBJ.

Travel Channel: Ford's Theatre has preserved the 1865 scene where President Lincoln was assassinated. Plays are produced on the same stage onto which John Wilkes Booth jumped after the fatal shot.
M Squared Real Estate: This is where John Wilkes Booth shot President Abraham Lincoln in 1865, and he was taken across the street to the Petersen House where he died.
JESS3: Head to the back of the building (use the alley off of F) to see where Booth had his horse waiting when he shot Lincoln.

John Stevenson: This place is an amazing indoor food market. The Dosas, Korean Tacos and Bread Pudding are all wonderful booths.
Jonathan L: It's far from central DC, but has ample free parking. There isn't a ton of seating if you visit one of the smaller stalls versus one of the bigger "restaurants". Great place to hang out and chill.
Washington Post: Get Red Apron’s Porkstrami: “It’s like pastrami made out of pork, and it’s topped with bacon and sauerkraut and a pork jus.” Read more.

Jason H.: Cool place to check out. Busy and energetic. Large bar, comfy booths, all the food is good. Make a reservation if going on a weekend night.
