4) Global Street Food
Several new restaurants opened their doors to hawk street food to hungry Washingtonians, including Soi 38 and Compass Rose. Sure, it’s gussied up street food, but Compass Rose owner Rose Previte finds cheap global eats quite inspiring. “Street vendors and marketplaces are the main sources of food in many countries around the world,” she tell us. “It’s how most people dine out." She hopes her food “invokes memories of an amazing trip to Peru, or that time you fell in love in Rome. It gets everyone at the table talking about their travels.”
