All of those places except for maybe theOlive Garden are not far from Metro stations in DC proper, I wouldn't say its worth (edit- it for a tourist) taking the Metro to go to them, but they are available.

Okay. That’s super helpful. What are some good food options? Pizza or pastas? Any suggestions

As an outsider, even if those restaurants are not great options for local Americans, you would still have fun at these restaurants. Just don’t go to McDonalds.

That's funny, because I always try to stop into McDonald's whenever I am in a foreign country because they have a lot of location-specific options that are fun to try.

Hahahah we have McDonald’s in Pakistan so I don’t think we’ll be going there.

McDonalds outside US are way better. You can smell it if you pass by one 😂

Pi Pizzeria on F street is decent. Wise Guys and Pupatella are exemplary with various locations around the city.

Wiseguy’s is a good quick lunch option and the closest thing to NY pizza in DC

If you want a real taste of American life, those chains are much more authentic than anything in the Bib Gourmand list. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Nothing wrong with getting some Popeyes or Olive Garden, though of course it’s great to venture outside of that too.
