A Trinidadian rum shop. The pimento-smoked jerk wings are a must, as is fry bread topped with stewed chickpeas and spiced chutneys. Sit down space is narrow, but you can also do pick-up.

The Swahili Village Bar and Grill’s Fine Kenyan Cuisine captures the essence of three distant lands: India, Arabia, and Persia.

A beer garden with quintessentially German treats, like giant pretzels and chicken schnitzel. They also have delicious pulled pork sliders, baked mac and cheese, and french fries. Great place to sit and watch sports and to grab a snack. There are two locations (there is a new one down in the Navy Yard), but we prefer this one.
