Elizabeth Burstein: Loved the bfast paella, the meat and cheese plate, cherry lime sangria, shishito peppers

Susie Sooz: I love The Crusta with whiskey (you can choose from Brandy or Gin as well)!
D Sic: A quiet gem in DC. Great menu variety, excellent brunch out back on the patio.
Washington Post: Tabard's simple yeast doughnuts are a must. Before the designer doughnut obsession took off, these guys held the title of best fried dough in the District. They're still amazing and freshly-fried. Read more.

Diana Brody: An unpretentious, lovely little spot with great whiskey. Great to nook away here for a nightcap.
Behrad Eats: Cashew nuts with rosemary are a great nar snack that pair well with the whiskey cocktails here.
Behrad Eats: Love the ingredients they put in the Barren Hill cocktail: rye, sweet vermouth, Laphroaig, pistachio syrup, and saffron tincture.
Emily Schwartz: The smoked BLT w/ avocado on everything bagel is spectacular. The smoked salmon salad (in the display window) is also super flavorful. Can't go wrong w/ lox, cream cheese, capers, & red onion.
Johanna: Lox bagel + avocado is money. Oh, and get a side of bacon. Their bacon is what bacon should be.
Michael Moffett: Get the bacon, tomato, red onion and cream cheese on multigrain bagel. It was life changing.
