I Egg You (Capitol Hill):
This breakfast sandwich shop began as a pandemic pop-up by the chefs behind Anju and Chiko. Its brick-and-mortar opening soon will serve its classic egg sammies, lunch clubs, and brunch cocktails.
Ireland’s Four Courts (Arlington):
Arlington’s favorite pub just reopened after being closed for over a year after a driver crashed into the building, injuring patrons and burning the structure.
Vesper (NoMA):
An upscale cocktail bar/lounge is opening on the top floor of the Morrow Hotel this fall. The sultry space will have live music programming from go-go to bossa nova, caviar service, and small bites.
Medina (Columbia Heights):
This cocktail and small plates bar is supposed to evoke a Bedouin tent-feel. Get ready for Moroccan tagines, Tunisian pastries, and absinthe tea service from the co-owner of Maydan.
