brunch
Happy third day of Passover to all our Jewish friends and a hoppy almost Easter to “everyone else!” Jews eating matza and the celebration of when Jesus returned to say “howdy” to all his followers before going away again are two exciting occasions that mark fertility, horny rabbits, and most importantly, spring. Before we enter [...]
There are many, many eateries in DC where you can get drinks. But there are not many eateries where you can get drinks — good drinks — for just $1. And, let’s face it, there’s nothing better than enjoying a next-to-free-boozey-free-for-all in a semi-upscale restaurant, even if the restaurant is often filled with fanny pack-toting [...]
Hey-o, who wants brunch? Brunch: It’s what one does in DC. But what if, just what if, on a given Saturday or Sunday, you wanted to Breakfast? You wanted to eat eggs or a bagel out, in a public location, but didn’t care to wait hours to be seated, drink mimosas, discuss the latest dribble [...]
Thursday, June 17:If you’ve been watching the World Cup, you’ve probably become viciously anti-American. You may also like Latinos and have contemplated which salad, cupcake or modern furniture store to loot should the U.S. tie/win on Friday. But before you lose all sense of good will, head to Town Tavern on Thursday night for a [...]
Mother’s Day is really, really soon — it’s this Sunday, May 9! Hopefully you perused our handy Mother’s Day gift guide and already picked out the ideal thong to give your mom on this special day. But don’t stop there! The babymaker of your life deserves brunch at a nice restaurant too, doesn’t she?
For my final brunch review, I headed to Cafe Atlantico for their Latin Dim Sum, on the recommendation of the venerable Mark Bittman. While certainly on the spendy side, Atlantico serves up inventive small dishes and excellent cocktails.
Washington loves its Eastern Market, which finally reopens today after the Fire of 2007 destroyed the landmark. There are many brunch locations in the area, including my favorite E. Market spot, Montmartre.
Complete with a French-accented waitstaff, a large menu of generally delicious Gallic brunch dishes, and a charming bistro atmosphere and decor (including an outdoor seating area), Napoleon Bistro in Adams Morgan is an excellent brunch choice.
The Florida Avenue Grill is an old-school Southern diner, serving classic fare since the 1940s. Go here for the history and the charm, but not for your health.
Adams Morgan has a big selection of brunch options, from the overcrowded and overrated Diner to the drag queen brunch at Perry’s. In this brunch reviewer’s opinion, the authentic French cafe La Fourchette has the best brunch on 18th Street.
With an aviation/travel motif, Cafe Saint-Ex is a bistro in the newly-cool 14th street corridor between U street and Logan Circle. While many people know of Saint-Ex because of its weekend tradition of sweaty, crowded and dude-tacular basement dance parties, it actually has a decent brunch.
Wonkabout has already examined the happy hour options at Rosemary’s Thyme, and now it’s time to look at the bistro’s distinctive Mediterranean brunch offerings, including their best-in-the-District “pides.”
