[WTOP, Dining Bisnow] More pizzeria news: a new Neapolitan eatery and craft beer spot called Menomale is opening in Brookland. [Prince of Petworth] We're No. 3! [...]
Tiny but mighty popular wine bar Room 11 in Columbia Heights is trying something new this weekend: Sunday brunch. "We've been wanting to do it for a long time," says chef and co-owner Ben Gilligan."But, logistically, it's a bit of a headache. It's hard for us to do it in the summer because I have [...]
