I’ve driven through Petworth on my way to my favorite southern / soul food diner - the Florida Avenue Grill.
As others have pointed out, Petworth has been gentrifying over the last 10 years. Young left-leaning yuppies out to prove their diversity bona fides.
On my next visit to DC, I definitely want to eat at the Florida Avenue Grill, as well as Ben’s Chile Bowl on U Street NW.
