You want to know what's *so* DC? Brunch.
I used to visit DC a lot before I moved here and learned very quickly that DC loves brunch. I'd even go so far as to say it's a DC institution. This breakfast-lunch hybrid is an integral part of most weekends for many in this city and the wait times at some of the more popular locations are proof of this city's dedication to mimosas and specialty omelets. No matter your fancy, there's a DC brunch for you.
Yesterday, I made the most of a ScoutMob deal and brunched at Nage near Dupont Circle; the breakfast burrito and bottomless mimosas made for a perfect follow-up to a night of dancing at the Black Cat's Cryfest party the night before. Not too long ago, I enjoyed a vegan brunch with one of my bandmates after practice at Sticky Fingers in Columbia Heights. My apartment happens to be incredibly conveniently located to a very popular DC brunch destination, Open City. (Their red velvet waffle is nothing short of sublime...) If you're brave enough to venture out into the wilds of Northern Virginia, I also think Eventide is worth a try.
The fact of the matter is, I could sit here all day and go through restaurant after restaurant and still not even come close to covering the full extent of brunch options in this city. Entire web sites have been created just around this one meal:
Not to mention, you can get the low down on DC's best brunch locales on all the major review and reservation sites as well:
Leave a comment if you have a favorite spot and/or dish to recommend. At some point in the near future, I'd like to check out Asylum's vegan brunch and the $10 bottomless mimosas at Sign of the Whale. So many brunches, so little time...
