Call Your Mother is the best for bagels in the city. You can schedule your order on their Tock in advance for next-day delivery so there’s no waking up and waiting an hour. Life-altering revelation.

In NE, I Egg You is great for a greasy Texas Toast breakfast sammy, and they have always have a new weekend special. They put this delightful old bay jalapeño sauce on the side and it’s fantastic. Side loaded potatoes are also a winner.

If you want fried tots, Cracked Eggery is good but their sandwiches are burger style and not quite as good as I Egg You.

That’s all I got. Enjoy.

Au Pair in dupont or Mikko

You seem like a miserable person.

Again, a vastly different experience to just about every single train ride I've ever taken. If it's ever late there's another one or it's like a few minutes, which in DC traffic especially around this thing you'll have more than that anyway.

Agreed, to each their own. Metro in general is dirty, has little fake thug teenagers, old newspapers all over place, nasty people coughing all over the place, then you have to wait for the trains which are constantly running late. No thanks. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Like I said, believe what you will about the drive through, we can disagree. Idk what metro you're riding but the one in the dmv is nothing near a hassle, not even close to what I would call filthy for a public space, and I find to be a lovely experience every time.

I drove through the Watkins Park and Annapolis christmas lights during the holidays every year and enjoy it from the car. This is very similar to that. Taking Metro is a hassle, the trains are filthy and just not a good experience. Uber is Ok, but why take an Uber when you can drive to see this shit?

Call your mother’s bagels aren’t good. Bethesda’s are fine

Assuming this was Thursday, then to me sitting right adjacent, the traffic was angry, and most of it was looking for parking. just seeing trees from a car window seems both like a waste of time and boring to me, but sure, if it's just for a pretty road to drive to somewhere else, then it's almost as convenient as taking the metro, and maybe almost as good of an event as actually seeing the trees and spending time with the environment.

Whatever you wanna believe I guess dude.

The traffic doesn’t look very angry in this video. These folks are calmly driving through and sitting briefly. They’re not wasting time parking, then having to walk to see the trees, then walk back to the car. They’re enjoying the trees from their cars, then heading for the next destination.

I live in the District. Lol. Not every DC resident is a new urbanist yuppie who wants to live out their Manhattan fantasies by riding the filthy metro trains and embracing the car-free lifestyle.

Breakfast tacos at Foxtrot (at least the Mt Vernon Square location). They're small and tasty, just right for a quick breakfast.

Both! Everything.

Boeymongers for the bacon/egg/cheese on a roll or Bethesda bagels for the nova cream cheese on an everything.

That's really interesting! I wasn't aware of that, but thanks for sharing. DC zoning is a whole other beast, but that makes a lot of sense.

Oh man, you really need to drop the /s tag

You mean the executives that are closing Starbucks locations and blaming it on crime when we all know it is low revenues and the occasional union busting? I’m sure they want you to buy your coffee and gtfo too, not sit there all day Pretending to work.

I miss Baguettes & Bagels :(

Buffalo & Bergen at Union Market is great (order online in advance)

Bullfrog Bagels is good too.

I could be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure DC zoning limits seating at coffee shops to 18 seats as they are classified as prepared foods shops. This applies to places without a kitchen / full menu of food. If a place serves food and has a kitchen, they are entitled to more seats.

1030 on Friday morning is my go time. Never a line.

Correct. I don't think the new bibs and stars have come out for this year yet.

Vibes don’t pay the rent.

Bullfrog or Prego Again

>too expensive for what it is

This aint no egg McMuffin with off shelf mass produced products. The sandwich itself is practically a caricature of hipster-small-batch-homemade since everything including the hot sauce is made from scratch. They might as well tell us the hen's name. Queue Portlandia skit

I'm admittedly a Elle stan but i remember back in the day the bfast sandwich was made to order in front and it takes long AF bc they do that French omelet technique and put a TON of butter. Actually it's prob better that they make it BOH so people don't know how much butter goes into a single sandwich.

Best yes expensive and not a quick brand and go.
