Metrocurean: Five Bites features H Street/NE Capitol Hill's best dishes

Every Friday, Amanda McClements hosts reader submitted "Five Bites" featuring reader submitted five favorite items from restaurants across town on her Metrocurean blog. Today's "Five Bites" is covers H Street and the NE side of Capitol Hill.
Ben, a lifelong DC resident who says he appreciates the culinary revitalization of his hometown, offers an all Northeast list of bites.

1. Lobster roll at Liberty Tree

2. Reuben egg rolls at Star and Shamrock

3. Caprese sandwich at Toscana

4. Moules champignon with large fries at Granville Moore's

5. Bacon, onion and Gruyere quiche at Dangerously Delicious Pies

I'd say its a pretty good representation of the best items on H Street, though I'd probably substitute Ethiopic's vegetarian sampler or signature lamb tibs for the caprese sandwich and the S.M.O.G. (Steak Mushroom Onion and Gruyere) as my favorite item from Dangerous Delicious Pies.

What else should be on a list of the best must-order items from H Street's fast-growing dining scene?

  1. Clams Casino Pie at Liberty Tree! It's almost as good as the lobster roll and definitely the best pizza there.
