I think what helps to define any city is its restaurants. Sure, sometimes it’s the fancy-pants places. I mean sure the Russian Tea Room helps define New York City. C’mon. But New York would be even less New York<\/em> without its corner hot dog and pretzel and nut vendors.<\/p>\n

So, too, are the cheap eats places of D.C. We have our Charlie Palmer’s and our Nora’s, but we also have our Ben’s Chili Bowl and our Julia’s Empenadas and our Amsterdam Falafelshop. And for a little while longer, we have our Georgetown Bagelry and Pizzeria.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it’s not to be for much longer. The shop has been sold and will close shortly to make room for a “casual seafood spot inspired by the lobster and clam shacks … of Maine.” Hah. I’d be hard-pressed to find a New Englander willing to shell out $16 for a casual dinner of fried clams or fish and chips.<\/p>\n

Gone will be my beloved $3 slice.<\/p>\n

No, it’s not a New Haven slice or even a New York slice, but it’s better than anything else D.C. has to offer on the pizza front. Plus it was inexpensive option in the ultra-pricey Georgetown M Street corridor.<\/p>\n

The M Street location is tiny. It only offers two booths and ten or so stools at the windows, which are great for people watching — particularly in the nicer weather when tourists and students crowd Georgetown streets.<\/p>\n

In addition to the pizza, the shop offers up about a dozen varieties of bagels a day. Apparently there is another bagel shop just over the Maryland border owned by the family that originally opened the Georgetown eatery, but I don’t know if they do pizza. And then I’d have to go to Maryland for a slice and that’s just silly.<\/p>\n
