Thanks to Meghan for sending on Sunday: “Looks like someone shattered the front door at So’s your mom. Remarkably, and a testament to their industriousness, they fixed it already.”
I’m gonna take this as a good opportunity to remind you that So’s Your Mom is the best.
“Family owned neighborhood bagel shop & deli for 45+ years Open Mon-Sat 7-4 Sun 8-4”
I highly recommend the Bronx Pastrami on a roll with spicy mustard.

“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if we could crowdsource Thanksgiving sandwiches in DC. It seems that a lot of the sub shops that used to have them (Your Only Friend/Fight Club/Capproitti’s) have all closed. Would love to find out if there are other spots in DC that have them, as they are my favorite this time of year!”
1776 I Street, NW
“Dear PoPville,
One of the best local lunch spots has reopened downtown for the first time since the pandemic hit! TBSP (The Best Sandwich Place) at 1776 I St NW is back again serving up some of the best sandwiches and salads in the area (yes, I’m biased based on the proximity to my office). Hopefully they get a lot of love from the downtown lunch crowd – so thrilled they survived the pandemic. Current hours are 8:00am-3:30pm.”
Thanks to Emily for sending this reminder and delicious looking photo from Compliments Only (1630 14th Street, NW.) I finally tried one and can confirm absolutely top notch.

From a [checks notes] press release:
“United States Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg visited Capitol Hill’s Fight Club this past Saturday evening. He dined on the sandwich shop’s front patio situated on Pennsylvania Avenue SE, where he and a small group enjoyed Fight Club’s popular sandwiches, a round of punches, and shared dessert.
A secret service agent who did not identify himself, stopped into the restaurant prior to the Secretary’s arrival and told staff that he needed to “see if his boss wanted to come here”, asking to look around the restaurant, which the staff obliged. “When he left, we assumed he jokingly meant his wife when he said boss, and that he didn’t think she would like it after he looked around”, said Andrew Market, chef and co-owner of Fight Club. Approximately 20 minutes later, Secretary Buttigieg arrived with secret service agents to join an already seated party. (more…)
Thanks to Jackie of the PSA: “If you haven’t tried the pastries at the new shop *Little Food Studio* (849 Upshur Street, NW) in Petworth you are missing out! (more…)
