Five Bites on Friday

Metrocurean reader Kate Moomau says she enjoys plenty of the D.C. area's upscale restaurants, but her cravings are most often for simpler food pleasures.

1. Napoli sub with everything at the Italian Store

2. Noodles from Heaven (order it spicy) from Thai Terrace

3. Peaches from West Virginia (in season) at the Eastern Market

4. Crabcakes from the Carlyle

5. Low Country shortcake at Southside 815
