Wondering how the nation’s capital stacks up when it comes to the foodie scene? It’s not doing too shabby. DC ranked #5 in a list out today of ”Best Places for Foodies,” by MONEY magazine. Here’s what the folks there had to say about DC’s foodie scene:

Top-notch dining options abound in our nation’s capital, and the city offers a comfortable ratio of 3.5 restaurants or grocery stores for every 1,000 people.

Pizza-lovers can enjoy Neapolitan pies at 2Amys, while those seeking an upscale experience can try foie gras at Estadio or delicate pastas and crème brûlée at Mintwood. For a serving of history with your dinner, there’s Old Ebbitt Grill, D.C.’s oldest bar and restaurant, clocking in at more than 150 years old.

Prefer cooking? The metro area has more than 200 farmer’s markets selling fresh produce and other treats.

Now’s the perfect time to try out some of the DC area’s best restaurants, during the annual Summer Restaurant Week.
