New Series: Vegan and Vegetarian - Washington DC Restaurant Best Bets

To make your Washington DC travels easier, we here at Urban Atlas are tackling food and restaurants. Any traveler knows that finding good food options near where you are or are going to be has been getting easier, but it’s not still not easy to figure out the best options. This is doubly true for those with dietary restrictions. I know this acutely, as my significant other is vegan, and we spend a fair amount of time trudging to out of the way vegan friendly restaurants to eat.
