Editorial Review

This isn't New York so shut up and eatcha knish already. Kosher. The tribe in Washington gathers for food with rabbinical stamp of approval. Fistfuls of corned beef, pastrami on rye, big juicy burgers. Pickles that bite back. But do they do this one thing?  Yes. Edward Hopper's dinette windows peer out on the unassuming street corner. Orthodox menschen on lunch dates with timid prospective spouses. Rare uncircumcised groups drawn in by sheer mystique of Jewish cuisine.
