From Tryst:
“Tryst Coffeehouse opened its doors in September 1998 with the simple goal of building meaningful connections, one animal cracker at a time.

Update from The Wharf:
“Today, Jessie Taylor Seafood began the process of expanding their seafood business with the addition of a new barge at the Municipal Fish Market at #TheWharfDC.
Owned and operated by the Evans family for nearly 90 years, Jessie Taylor Seafood is the longest-tenured vendor at the Market. Recently they completed a long-term renewal of their lease which will extend their business at The Wharf for at least another 20 years.”
Thanks to Emma for sending: “Spotted Jessie Taylor Seafood being tugged down the Anacostia, near Buzzard Point this morning. Pretty cool! Maybe they’re filling the vacant spot at the fish market?” (more…)

Mitsitam Cafe has often been cited here as best museum cafe on the Mall.
From the National Museum of the American Indian:
“The Mitsitam Cafe at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian will close for renovations Tuesday, Sept. 5. The cafe, which is in the museum’s Washington, D.C., location, will remain closed through late spring 2024. Mitsitam means “Let’s eat!” in the Native language of the Delaware and Piscataway peoples.
