Editorial Review
Shiny banks, frou-frou furniture stores and cutesy chocolate shops all be damned, Logan Circle's Ethiopian holdout ain't goin' nowhere. Nubian Queen of ethnic dives was on the corner long before you showed up, so—respect. Might qualify as a greasy spoon if they had spoons but each spicy mouthful of marinated meat or all-veggie stews happens with your hands. Sports and news float overhead, lively conversations in Amharic. Flashy new locals try to be more local.
