Two places that I usually go on Capitol Hill.  The first, I cannot remember
the name of, but it is on Mass. Ave. across from American Cafe.  The
other (this is heresy) is the Safeway on 15th and D, SE.  The selection
is actually pretty good, as are the prices.  I am as amazed as you are.

Both of these are adequate, though I have yet to find a place that
really thrills me (partly because I keep looking in Cap. Hill)
so I will be interested to hear what others say.

BTW, there is an EXCELLENT liquor store near Eastern Market called
Haydens.  They aren't much for beer or wine, but for stocking your
liquor cabinet, the place is great.  Good topic.
