Looking out the windows of La Fourchette onto 18th St. La Fourchette is a little French restaurant that serves a pretty good omelet, and I'm a sucker for a good omelet. Be warned that just about everything you order here will be very buttery; this is not health food. Frommers says of La Fourchette “the ambience is as Parisian as you'll get this side of the Atlantic — as is the food.” When we were last there we got to sit next to Jonetta Rose Barras, whose voice I immediately recognized from listening to the D.C. Politics Hour with Kojo and Jonetta Fridays on WAMU. Yeah, I'm an NPR geek, but you probably knew that already.
