late night eateries in DC

Where are some good late night places to eat in DC? Like around 3am after bars close. Chinatown is always ok for the food, but any other places with better ambiance?
I think The Diner in Adams Morgan is open all night.

It is.
I suggest the grilled cheese with tomato and/or bacon. Noms.

and they have decent pancakes!
Thanks - I have to check this place out. Is the service okay here? I miss the old, old days in Baltimore with Gampy's and Crazy John's.
at $10 a pancake.

The service was pretty good considering the time of night and the number of people there the last time I went in the middle of the night. And as betty said, the pancakes are pretty good (and 3 for $8, if I recall, not $10 per), although I suggest the wheat toast and margarine because its healthier.

margarine? really, i didn't realize there were people still extolling the virtues of margarine.

Less calories than butter.

maybe, but i'd rather not consume something that was derived in a laboratory and can be changed into any number of other things simply by changing the chemical make-up of the solid…for example, in order to made solid at room temperature, vegetable oils are pumped full of artificially created trans fats to maintain composition. with several jurisdictions out to tell you what you can and cannot eat, margarine producers were able to chemically re-compose the margarine atoms so that it can maintain its structure at room temperature and not contain artificially created trans fats.

so, if you don't care that you are eating something devised in a lab and is one atom away from plastic, then, sure, go ahead.

but that doesn't necessarily make it healthier than butter.
I think what we have here, fair Bede, is a failure to communicate.

well, you said margarine was healthier, and i'm simply pointing out that that may not be true. there's more than just calories to consider.

No, there isn't. This speech is shocking, who can hear it?
I don't get The Diner's popularity – the food is mediocre at best, and expensive for what it is. And it's certainly not a diner. Is it just that it's open late?

Now that Alberto's is open up in Adams-Morgan, if I was toasted and up that way, I'd be making a beeline for one of their slices… soooo much better than those giant slice places on the east side of 18th.

For me, yes. The food is serviceable, and I can show up at 4am. It's not where I'd go during the usual dinner hour. The owners own another place a few block north (on Calvert maybe) called Open City that's a little better food, as far as food of that fare goes, but it's not open all night so it doesn't really fit the topic starter's question…

is that true? i haven't read a margarine label before, but i'm pretty sure it's just hydrogenated oil. since oil is 100% fat and conventional butter is only 80% then it would have 120 calories per tablespoon. i guess that might not be correct though, there are probably other things… flavor, color.
my understanding was that people used margarine because of cholesterol reasons, rationing during the war, and misinformation. i guess preference is valid too.
