Food Scene

If you love Salvadoran or Mexican food, this is the place for you. When the weather is nice, ask for a seat on the patio so you can people watch while eating.

This gluten free bakery is a Del Ray secret. Even if you don't need to eat gluten free desserts, you will want to try this place. I recommend the S'mores cupcake.

This custard shop is a must visit. President Obama brought his daughters to the Dairy Godmother in 2009 to sample the Flavor of the Day. The owner posts the Flavor Forecast on a calendar each month on her website: http://www.thedairygodmother.com/flavor-of-the-day-forecast/

If you love burgers, this is the place for you. This Del Ray restaurant supports local causes by allowing you to donate $.25 from each burger sale to a local charity. Choose the "Make Your Own Burger" option and pair with sweet potato fries and a milkshake (heath bar is my favorite).
