Kramers Bookstore ·$$

Kramerbooks and Afterwords was the first to set up shop in Dupont Circle. This bookstore and cafe is always crowded, particularly on weekends when singles who would rather skip the bar scene flock to this surprising hot spot. Live music is an added feature of this cozy literary joint. The cafe is a full-service restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. The entrees are traditional American dishes, like chicken and lamb chops.

A DC institution, I will always be a fan of Kramers. It's not the best restaurant, but it's a classic that I hope remains open for decades and decades to come. Service is great, prompt and...
