There's Wilson's on Georgia right across from Howard U. Hospital. There's the Florida Avenue Grill at 11th and Florida. There's also "Ohhs and Aahs" at 10th and U, which could be considered a diner. All three are "between here and Chevy Chase." Too bad no one actually knows what they are talking about before they post their comments. Anon 3:53: 2 diners, actually.

Given the rents on U Street, I doubt a diner is economically viable. You'd have to go high-end with $8 halfsmokes like Bens. Or move it to Bladensburg Avenue like the Cap City Diner guys, and those guys are going through hell just trying to setup shop. They really need to hire one of Fenty's frat brothers if they want to get something done. Great concept, great location, keep the formstone.

Just want a place where I can buy a decent baguette or some other bread that was made on site and is nice and crusty. I’m the bakery person.

What diner are you referring to, the Florida Avenue Grill? Their non-open status for large parts of the week, limited menu, and spotty quality don't really fill the bill. Despite your assumption that I'm a slightly bigger douchebag than you, I am actually looking for something more or less like The Diner that is closer to where I live. Given that The Diner is constantly busy it seems pretty likely there's a demand for such a place. @Anonymous 4:00 & Anonymous 3:53: Please. What diner are you referring to, the Florida Avenue Grill?
