The Lobbyist’s Secret: Where to Find a $15 Power Lunch Downtown

The Lobbyist’s Secret: Where to Find a $15 Power Lunch Downtown

Downtown doesn’t have to mean a $30 prix-fixe. Whether you’re a Hill staffer or a tourist near the White House, these spots offer high-quality fuel without the lobbyist price tag.

The Guide

Greek Deli & Catering: A DC institution. Their Avgolemono soup and massive Gyros are legendary. Most platters hover around $12-$14 and are large enough for two meals.

Immigrant Food: Located a block from the White House, their cause-casual bowls like the Vigorous or Columbia are chef-driven, globally inspired, and stay within the $13-$15 range.

Bozzelli’s: For a classic Italian sub or a personal pizza, Bozzelli’s is the gold standard for speed and price. Try the Spaceman sub for roughly $13.
