Restaurants Near Nationals Park

Nationals Park--the state-of-the-art home to the Washington Nationals, features many local eateries within its walls (Ben's Chili Bowl, Five Guys and Gifford's Ice Cream are favorites), but to beat the crowds it's sometimes preferable to dine outside the stadium. While the area surrounding the park and the Navy Yard Metro station has been slow to develop, there are a few restaurants near Nationals Park, as well as many more options close to the Eastern Market Metro, which is just about a mile away and is perfect for a stroll to the stadium on nice nights.
