From Bread Furst’s Mark Furstenberg:

“Although I have never imagined expanding Bread Furst in any way, an overture from the Phillips Collection was more than I could resist.

All of us at the bakery are proud that we are taking over the cafe inside the Phillips Collection. I have been a long time member at The Phillips and a long time resident of Dupont Circle.

We will offer a selection of everything we offer at the bakery on upper Connecticut Avenue including breads, pastries, sandwiches, salads, and coffee. (more…)

This morning at 6am my female friend was walking and was grabbed from behind at the corner of 19th and Q NW from a man who tried to force her into his white sedan. She fought him off and he took off in the car. (more…)
