While many know Whitlow's on Wilson as a popular Clarendon bar and grill, not many realize that the establishment has its roots in northwest D.C.
At its first location, on the corner of 11th and E Street, the diner was a District staple from 1946 to 1989-when it "temporarily" closed its doors to accommodate a major neighborhood redevelopment. The slated reopening took several years longer than expected, but in 1995 Whitlow's finally reopened on Wilson Boulevard in Arlington.
