Positively U Street

Traveler staffers Janelle Nanos and Krista Rossow had a blast making this walking tour photo gallery of U Street, part of our extensive Inauguration Guide to DC. But when they stopped at Ben’s Chili Bowl and Krista pulled out her camera to photograph one of the famous half-smokes, the waiter stopped her. “Wait a minute,” he said as he took the plate back to the kitchen. Uh-oh, thought Krista and Janelle. A minute later the waiter returned, with the half-smokes sweetly decorated, as if they were birthday cakes. Thanks, Ben’s!
