DC Councilman Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) still wants to put the clamps on the late night visits to the Jumbo Slice in Adams Morgan. The councilman attributes much of the recent increase in late night violence to the pizza spots on the strip. When news of this first broke, I thought this was the most ridiculous thing that I had ever heard. Why don't we just block off the streets to prevent drunk driving, while we're at it? No offense to the councilman, but wouldn't you think that a strip of bars and watering holes has a little bit more to do with late night belligerent behavior???
Anybody who has ever visited Adams Morgan at night knows that the let out of the bars and clubs- seemingly at one time- is the actual catastrophe. To punish area business owners who benefit from the foot traffic is absurd. If anything, enforce more stringent loitering laws for those who are not patrons off the Jumbo Slice.
This got me to thinking...what is the best food spot in the city after a night of partying/drinking??? Were it not for the Checkers on New York Ave, I would always opt for "the slice" on the late night. I know some folks do The Diner or even Ben's Chili Bowl.
