2 Sisters Deli
— Capitol Hill counter joint where the biscuit is hand-cut, the roast beef is sliced to order, and nobody has updated the tile since the '90s — on purpose. —

Two sisters working a counter on C Street SW, halfway between the Capitol and the Air and Space Museum. The biscuits get cut by hand at 6 AM. The roast beef goes on the slicer when you order it. Hours run from breakfast through the staffer lunch rush, then the lights go off — no dinner, no weekends, no fuss.
