“Washington DC has a huge selection of restaurants due to all the embassies there.”

The variety is due to the large number of immigrant groups: Mexican, Vietnamese, Chinese, Asian Indian, Persian, Ethiopian, Peruvian, etc.

They mainly live in the suburbs. DC itself was about 60% black, 30% white and about 10% Hispanic and other when I lived in the area.

The quality was good when I lived in the area.

Israel is said to have quite a variety of cuisines.

When I lived in Washington, DC in 1979, there wasn't a single decent Mexican restaurant in the area. When I visited Capitol Hill last fall, I noticed that there were two Mexican restaurants within a few doors of each other on Pennsylvania Ave., and there are others nearby.

When I'm on Capitol Hill at mealtime, I tend to eat at the Hawk 'n' Dove, which serves great American cuisine. But I wish the cafeteria in the Senate Office Building hadn't been closed to the public after J6. I miss their Senate Bean Soup.
