I visited Pearl's Bagels for lunch for the first time and tried the Green Monster bagel sandwich…read more Overall, I'd give it a 6 out of 10. The bagel itself was really good. You could taste that the dough was made with quality ingredients, and the bagel had a great texture and flavor. The interior was also nicely decorated--bright, airy, and inviting. It's a smaller space, but there's enough room to enjoy your meal. The cashier was extremely friendly, which made for a great first impression. The one thing that caught me off guard was the way the sandwich was toasted. I was asked if I wanted the sandwich toasted, and I said yes, assuming the entire sandwich would be heated. However, only the bagel was toasted--the meat and cheese were left cold. I thought that was a little odd because I was expecting a hot, toasted sandwich rather than cold cuts on a toasted bagel. That said, the sandwich was still good. On my next visit, I'm going to ask if they can toast the meat and cheese along with the bagel and then add the dressings afterward. I have a feeling that would make a big difference and could take this sandwich from a 6 to a 10 out of 10 for me. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and trying it that way. For a first visit, Pearl's Bagels made a good impression, and I'm curious to see how the sandwich tastes when it's prepared the way I had originally expected.

Their sweets did look overly sweet and unsubtle and I opted against getting any. Their menu of breakfast foods didn't have much to my liking either. There were several breads available. I ended up liking the baguette, which browned nicely, but got a multigrain bread as well which was a little too soft to butter properly. I liked them, but I wasn't overly convinced that I needed to come here for baked goods given plenty of other options; the bar for specialness in a bakery is high, and Seylou this was not.

From the moment I stepped in, I felt a relief from the hustle and bustle of 14th. The luxury offerings, a crowd of coworkers, and a low volume standard (atleast on the day I visited) provided a buffer between the coffee shop and the city beyond. While the salmon toast looked plucked from a magazine cover, I unfortunately found it pretty ordinary. The coffee I tried, however, inspired me to try more of the menu. I'm not sure if this is mainly a spot for theatre goers, or the general population, but I'd happily return when I'm seeking a quick "pick me up" on 14th.

The Tuesday lunchtime farmers market at City Center is among my favorite DC weekday markets. The…read morediverse variety of a dozen vendors is impressive with a few new vendors every year. Here's the latest and greatest vendor list from 2023: Timber Pizza - Scrumptious wood-fired pizza with a pillowy soft crust. I can't count on how many fingers and toes I've had the pizza at different farmer's markets! While the lines can get long 12:30pm, you only have to wait for 15 minutes. Taco Dirty To Me: Crispy battered cauliflower tempura tacos, bursting with flavor! Bun'd' Up - Delicious fried tofu and mushroom in squishy soft bao buns topped with microgreens, scallions, and a nice creamy aioli sauce. Light and tasty! Urban+ade - Refreshing lemonade with less sugar than classic lemonade. The Sage & Tarragon is my favorite! Veg Heaven - Decadent sweet treats, the dark chocolate cookies and brownies are the best! While the cakes are moist, they aren't as tasty. Taco Loco - Giant burritos are amazing! There's a swarm of people waiting in line, so be prepared to wait 10-15 min before ordering and then another 5 min for your order! The mango and watermelon juice are refreshing. Hipp Sippin' - Cold-pressed juices and acai bowls made to order. Ravenhook Bakery - Great selection of freshly baked loaves of bread and baked goods. DMV Empanadas - They sell out fast! While the empanadas has a nice crispy hard shell and with so many flavors to choose from, they are a bit bland and overloaded with bland cheese. The Spinach and Cheese or the Bacon and Cheese didn't quite hit the spot, hubby like the Chicken. Al Volo Cucina: While I wasn't a big fan of the greasy eggplant parm subs. I wish they brought back the fresh juices (the watermelon and mango juices) were amazing! Wonderful market with plenty of delicious and diverse options to choose from. Lines start to form between 12:30-1pm, come early!

The first coffee place had a long line and only one hard-working but overwhelmed person working, the second was a price scam with one price listed and a second higher one charged at the register; I walked out of both.

The weight was super busy, but we were able to meet a couple on the way in who had a reservation. When we got up to the front, we noticed that the couple ran to the counter at the bar and got seats. When we asked the hostess, how long the wait for a party of two would be she said one hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes. I had to catch my flight so we definitely could not wait that long. Right when we were about leave and walk away, the very kind and nice couple (Montez & Alayna) that we met walking up, told us that they had secured bar seats and that we could take their breakfast brunch dining reservation. THIS WAS A BLESSING! I purchased their first round of drinks because they were generous with their reservation. There are great people in this city, thanks! We were seated right away at a dining table, and the place was packed, as usual. Our server was wonderful. I believe her name was Alisha or Aisha, and she took care of us very well. We ordered: Naan Bread Appetizer, Blueberry Pancakes with Mascarpone, side of chicken sausage, Creme Brûlée French Toast, side of scrambled eggs, and side of Hash browns. For beverages we had coffee and apple juice plus water. Our food came out within 10 to 12 minutes and everything was delicious and amazing. We were so stuffed and really enjoyed our time here. At the end of our reservation the restaurant Manager approached us (named Derek or Ryan) with the gentleman from the couple who gave us his reservation. They surprised us each with a decadent dessert! This was in response to us buying their first round of drinks. The customer service of our server was AMAZING, the food was DELICIOUS, and the surprise desserts were FABULOUS! This is definitely our go-to restaurant in DC. Thank you for another AWESOME experience!! it's about to rain. I see it.

I had a pretty disappointing first visit to this bar. I was curious about their crab rangoon pizza,…read morebut when it arrived it was basically just a dry circle of dough with crispy bits on top. I understand not really putting crab, since most crab rangoons skimp on that (although it's disappointing for the cost), but to not put more than a tiny smear of cream cheese and to have hardly any sauce too? It was so dry, it really made me sad. Neither of those ingredients are expensive enough to justify being stingy. The concept alone should have made this a home run, but it was like if you bit into a crab rangoon and it was empty. I hope this was an off night because the amount they charged for what was basically just a slice of bread was shocking. It's spacious and seems like a fun place to hang out but I am really hesitating to order food here again despite adoring Mallard downstairs. The food quality is like night and day.
