Regarding Shwafel & H Street Life

H Street Great Street and Eater both picked today to link to the H Street Life column I wrote while back (it appeared in the March issue) for the Hill Rag. So I thought I'd talk a tiny bit about Shwafel (read the article if you want the full deal), and also take the opportunity to remind people that I do write a monthly column for the Hill Rag. You can find it  online, and in print, each month. I've been writing it for about two years now, so there are lots of archives to pick through. Some of the info also appears here, but not all of it is duplicative. Here's the column discussing Shwafel. Highlights (and a quick and dirty H Street Life index) after the jump.

The key points regarding Shwafel:
-fare is mostly shwarmas and falafel;
-lunch and dinner everyday;
-1322 H Street (nice to see development on the north side of the 1300 block);
-sandwiches run around $6-7.50;
-late night hours on weekends;
-expect to pay about $11 for a drink, fries, and a sandwich;
-unique menu item: the french frie sandwich;

Some of these links are acting a tad hinky, but I'm too tired to fix them right now. If it's broken try going through the main page.
