I am going to Washington DC in a few weeks. I am not big into the tourist trap restaurants. Anyone know where is a good place to grab a bit to eat? It can be any kind of food, but reasonable prices. Where do the locals go, especially near the smithsonian?

Thanks for any "feed"back
 
Not a whole lot near the Smithsonian other than street vendors. Do yourself a favor and catch a cab or Metro up to 19th and L st. and hit Luigi's Italian Restaurant. The Hours and Contact Info tab has a map with Metro routes. You can take the blue or orange line from Smithsonian up to Farragut West station. Not far to walk--only a couple of blocks. One of the few old time DC restaurants. I am not a big pizza fan but in my opinion they make amazing pizza. They are in a league by themselves. Having tried it, you will remember it. Prices have always been reasonable.
 
Chinatown is a 15min walk north of the Mall if it's not snowing. H St. between 5th & 7th NW. My fave cheap eats spot is FULL KEE on H btw 5th & 6th. Great roast duck, chicken, pork bbq, noodles, soup etc. extensive menu, something for everyone.
Definitely a joint for locals, looks like a dive and I think it's cash only. If you walk up the 7th St. corridor you'll pass by more touristy expensive fare (Legal Seafoods, McCormacks,) around Verizon Center.
