The Princess Restaurant Nostalgia is not the right word.....that might indicate a re-creation. This diner is the real thing, just as it was when Harry and Bess Truman stopped in for dinner on their way east on Father's Day in 1953. The booth where they ate is marked with a plaque. The service is good and the food is excellent down home cookin'.

Au Petit Paris Restaurant Fancy french cuisine. Pricey. Dark. Romantic. Pretty good.

• El Canelo, 167 E. Main St., ☎ 301-687-0750. Authentic Mexican cuisine in a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. The service is friendly, the food is always fresh and tasty, and the selection is impressive. Good frozen drinks, and vegetarian friendly too!  edit
