Two Food Finds Beyond the Usual

A salad kiosk in Washington, DC, and Thai street food in San Francisco.

Look beyond the usual restaurant format: a grab-and-go salad kiosk in Washington, DC, followed by Thai street food in San Francisco. Browse these as two separate-city food finds, not stops on one route.

01 — A salad stop in Washington, DC

Farmer's FridgeMon – Sun, Open 24 hoursWashington

Farmer's Fridge takes the kiosk approach: chef-crafted salads and grain bowls packed to go in recyclable jars, with snacks and other prepared meals alongside. The listed location is on the first floor beside Dunkin Donuts, overlooking the courtyard at 725 17th St NW in Washington, DC. This first pick puts the focus on quick, convenient pickup.

02 — Thai street food on Lombard

Baan Yaai4.5 (305)Mon – Tue, Thu – Sun, 12:00 – 15:00, 17:00 – 21:00San Francisco

Baan Yaai brings Thai street-food favorites to 2274 Lombard St in San Francisco. Boat noodles and crispy pork belly sit alongside traditional curries, other noodle dishes, appetizers and vegetarian options. The Marina restaurant supports casual sit-down meals, takeout and delivery, giving this second pick a different rhythm from the Washington kiosk.

Check each venue before making plans.

More food finds, in their own cities

The extra picks span different cities and formats: Little Caesars Pizza in District Heights for carryout pizza and Crazy Bread; Yu Shang in San Rafael for Mandarin dishes and sushi; and Bakedbynate in Hercules for custom cookie spreads and event catering. These are additional browsing options, not nearby add-ons.
