I have searched high and low in this town and found very few really enjoyable late night options. While U Street still has some great spots - Ben's, Toki, etc. - I prefer not to travel, or stumble, far from where I got my drink on.
On the nights I find myself in Georgetown...pause on moment here...for the record, I am not surfing for Co-Eds in Georgetown, there are great spots even for an aging sport like me - such as L2, Neyla's, Cafe Milano, and many others, so save your judgement...there is only one spot of late-night fare...Muncheez!
I know the name doesn't inspire really good food, it is a cross between Jeff Spicoli and Chuckie Cheese, but the food is really outstanding. With a little middle-eastern flare, there are mainly pita style wraps with such things as labne cheese, four cheese, grilled chicken and even hot dogs. My personal favorites are the grilled chicken and the four cheese.
The pitas are served in two sizes, Saj - which is thin, and Pita which is a little thicker (that's what she said). There are also salads and pizzas, which are both really outstanding.
The place doesn't have much seating and it does have a walk-up window, which I don't think exists anywhere in Georgetown. The interior is really cool, with murals by a local artist and some great club-style music in the back ground.
I went there for the tenth time with a couple of friends before heading out to the bars a week ago. We sat in the back on some low cushioned chairs and ended up staying more than an hour, enjoying the music and the people watching.
Muncheez is still off the radar, which means it is a great place to hit up for a quick bite and enjoy yourself. No more standing in line for an hour for a cupcake when I can get one of the greatest crepes prepared fresh to order!
