Where to buy Angostura bitters?

Thanks everyone! Didn't realize I could find em at the grocery but you all just solved my search.

I think a lot of the finer speakeasys claim they make their own bitters, but I guess I'll try stock bitters first.

Where to buy Angostura bitters?

Looking to make some fine cocktails and I don't think VA ABC carries such a niche item.

at which store can i find frozen crawfish tails? nova

I got em at either the Harris Teeter in Pentagon Row or the Whole Foods in Falls Church.

Where Has The Real Ham Gone??

Doesn't Honeybaked Ham do sandwiches too?

Looking for Dim Sum Place - Its a long shot

Hollywood East seemed to have better quality seafood in their dim sum, from what I remember.

Any candy or sweets unique to DC?

Chocolate-covered bulls#!+ maybe?

cheap dinner/breakfast near Pentagon City

There's Kabob Palace on 23rd & Eads, next to 7-11. The takeout part w/ tables is not chic at all, but you get tons of food for $7-$13 (cheap). Tender meats are spiced authentically (good). Jaleo & Taverna miniplates will work if you're a very light eater, and will run you at least $20 w/ tip. They're definitely good, but not the cheapest.

No-nitrate added, quality cold cuts variety, NOVA / I-395

Searching for quality deli counter. Primarily want variety of no-nitrate added, no-filler cold cuts. Aware of Whole Foods, but variety was unimpressive.

Extra credit for variety of hams, aged sausages and cured Italian meats. Extra credit if it has variety in its grocery (ground lamb, variety of quality beef cuts, frozen crawfish, etc.)

I try to avoid DC proper (I get lost easily & hate dealing w/ parking mess). I'm in Pentagon city, so closer along 395 the better. Ballston-ish works.

(Any Minnesotan's? Think Lund's.)
