Great places for carryout meals on the go.
CF Folks
Washington, DC
This carryout, open only for lunch on weekdays, proves that independent shopkeepers can survive in a landscape littered with chains.
Earl's Sandwiches
Arlington, VA
House-roasted turkey and thick sourdough bread stack up beautifully at this classic sandwich shop.
Great Wall Szechuan House
Washington, DC
Order the "ma la" dishes if you like your Chinese food spicy.
Greek Deli & Catering
Washington, DC
Gyros and spanakopita are among the specialties at this downtown lunch spot.
Italian Store
Arlington, VA
The deli sandwiches are fine, but opt for the pizza, which is among the best in town.
Nando's Peri-Peri
Washington, DC
The South African chain -- with its spicy grilled chicken and healthful sides -- is a welcome addition to Chinatown.
