A great local business with everything you need. Saved me a trip to home depot or one of the other bigger chains many times.
Great cheap diner style homecooking. Delicious.

You can't go wrong with old bay tator tots, a giant beer selection and great live music that you usually don't have to pay for to enjoy. My favorite local place in Silver Spring to get a drink and chill out with some great friends / cohorts.

cheap drinks, good music, great divey atmosphere
The place can be a little cramped when there is a lot of people, but it is a small venue so what do you expect. A lot of great new talent plays here every week.

Best diner around silver spring, forks down. Endless coffee, blue plaid tablecloths, cheap delicious 2 egg specials that all come with potatoes and toast. What more could you want?
My favorite is the old wooden door that serves as the entrance. There is plenty of seating at tables if you don't want to sit up at the bar.

Great beer selection, great music, great people. Don't over dress and be prepared for interesting conversations. A great start to a weekend out in dc.

Lot's of places to sit, 2nd floor balcony for summer, and a great low priced bar menu. Also two blocks from my apartment. One of the best burgers I have had in Old Town, and for under 10 bucks.
For authentic Lebanese food, you've come to the right place. I tried the pie plate appetizer and one of the meaty wraps. Very delicious in a spicy tomato baste and homemade thin pita bread. Wraps are filling and only around 7 dollars, so this is definitely a spot that I walk to for dinner at least once a week.
A big plus is that this is off of King St., so it is less touristy, no frills or flash just good food. The only bad thing is that the bathroom is tiny, but it didn't bother me.

I have been to Red Mei over five times now since I have moved into Old Town in August 2008. I have loved everything I tried, but I keep going back for the King Pao and I order it extra spicy.
I have ordered take out and picked it up on my bike and it literally took them five minutes to make everything and it was ready by the time I showed up.
Each dish's sauce is unique, slightly sweet, and very flavorful.
What is really amazing is that each dish is only a little less than seven dollars. Delicious and cheap!
The only negative about the place is the music. They have an adult contemporary station on from XM radio. They should really switch it to 43 or 47 which are alternative stations, but that is my personal bias thrown in I guess.

A little pricey for a pub, but the food is delicious, especially the shepherd's pie, chicken pot pie, and other irish dishes. I had fish and chips and they were pretty decent, but not as good as Murphy's.
I love the front and back outside seating. I also like the projector screen for football games. Also, I have a crush on one of the waitresses, and I haven't said one word to her yet, she is always waiting on other tables when I am there.
