The Inaugural Post

This is the latest and freshest (food) blog in D.C., coming to you from the heart of the new and happening Near Southeast/Navy Yard/Capitol Riverfront/Ballpark Neighborhood/what have you - this area has a thousand names. Heard of the new Nationals ballpark? Heard the new ballpark - with its cheering crowds and late-night fireworks and papal hymns? Heard of the thousands of residents and hundreds of thousands of square feet of business and retail that are being built along South Capitol St., M St., and New Jersey Ave.? Well, if you haven't, now is the time to catch up on the news and head over to JDLand; JD covers all the news to tell in the 'New' Near Southeast.

Once you've had your fill of new construction in the area, take a minute to savor what's in store for the local gourmand. Right now, not much. But this is bound to change, and Fooding Around DC will keep track. Meanwhile, I'll be dining in other DC neighborhoods - Capitol Hill, Eastern Market, Gallery Place, U Street, et. al - and reporting back dutifully.

Come here and read about all the places to eat around your Nats ballpark. So far, we have Subway and Five Guys on 2nd St., between L and M. Sizzlin Express a little farther East down M St. More to come. Meanwhile, here to follow are some updates on other great places to eat in Washington D.C.
