News Cafe DC: Georgetown
Neither a journalistic entity nor a really a cafe. Also not a greasy spoon, but what else do you expect from Georgetown? Prices range from $12-15, topping out at $15 for steak and eggs. My friend and I entered the Middle-eastern styled restaurant (which is actually Italian) surprised by its wide selection of crepes (traditionally French) and other savory breakfast fare. With a smattering of sweet...

Politico: Who'll be 'Real Housewives of DC'? →
Not directly foodie related, but between the Real Housewives of DC taking up downtown and Capitol Hill and The Real World DC stomping on Dupont and AdMo, this could certainly affect lines, trendiness, and prices. Maureen Dowd is apparently not in the runnings because of her lack of housewifeyness, damn.

Union Pub: Mass Ave & D St.
It may be a cliche spot for young Hill-erati, and is is in the shadows of the Heritage Foundation. However, daily drink specials and surprisingly tasty bar food make it notable.

In brief: Asylum, 2471 18th St NW Dark & delicious
Erica: a whole steak and eggs
Amanda: oh it was good - and potatoes - the potatoes were good - if i remember correctly the wait staff wasn't that great though
Erica: a little too underground and standoffish, but the music was rockin'. i think we heard some ac/dc, maybe some iggy pop. yours was like 13 bucks, which wasn't bad for all that food - i finished it for you.
mine was good too, i had a basic omelet with potatoes for about $7.00... but the portions were enormous. either way, i would say good value, too cool for school vibe, tasty food with generous portions. perfect hangover food.
Amanda: absolutely. and need to get there early bc there's always a wait for their brunch
Erica: oh yeah
