Folks talking about the new brunch at Slash Run got me thinking – it’s time to talk the tastiest eats in Petworth circa 2018 (5779). We’ve documented the explosion of the food scene in Petworth over the years and I’m blown away by how many options there are now. So without further ado, and apologies to any that get left off the poll (please voice those in the comments), where’s your favorite food in PoP’s Petworth? The poll is pretty massive so I’m putting it after the jump. (more…)

From a press release:
“Commissary hosts a bottomless Lady Gaga-themed brunch on Saturday, October 6 from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. the same weekend Lady Gaga’s much-anticipated film, A Star Is Born, premieres in theaters.
Known for its bottomless Mondays, offering unlimited mimosas and bloody marys for $18, Commissary is making an exception for its popular Popstar brunch series. Lady Gaga is the latest of a legendary lineup that has included Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Sia, and more. That means Lady Gaga’s discography will be the soundtrack for the event and her many incredible music videos and live performances will play on Commissary’s full wall projector throughout the entirety of brunch. The Washington Blade’s 2018 Best of Gay DC “Best Drag Queen” finalist, Desiree Dik will host the event as well as perform live. (more…)

From a press release:
“The Union Market District continues its commitment to nurturing burgeoning local businesses with the arrival of The Village Cafe (1272 5th Street NE), slated for a soft opening on October 9, followed by a grand opening on October 23.
When founders and Washington natives Kevon King, Mahammad Mangum and Ryan Williams met as kids, they bonded at Woodrow Wilson High School, where they pursued their passions in the business, creative and culinary fields, respectively.
Recognizing that cafés are the ultimate social gathering place, the trio embarked upon opening their own establishment that would not only bring quality food and drink to underserved communities, but that would also uplift the “village” that make those communities tick. (more…)
