RSS FeedHistory on Foot: The Willard
On a recent walk, we noticed this plaque recognizing one of many significant historic events to occur at The Willard Hotel (1401 Penn. Ave., NW). This is the location where Julia Ward Howe, after meeting with President Lincoln in November 1861, is said to have written “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” This is her best known work, but Howe was a prominent American Abolitionist, social activist and poet.

Beef ‘n Bread Sandwiches Now Open (750 6th St NW)
Beef ‘n Bread (750 6th St NW) is now open at the corner of 6th and H St NW offering fresh meat oriented sandwiches (read: roast beef, corned beef, and turkey) in Chinatown/Penn Quarter. The management behind Wiseguys Pizza (corner of 4th and H St NW) are behind this venture. Before Beef ‘n Bread, this location was a pizza counter for a brief time and a kung fu video store for a long time.
Thanks to @eat_dc for snapping menu photos which also indicate the hours and that they are open for breakfast. Our favorite part of the menu is the title about the opening times…”HOURS/ or UNTIL RUN OUT.”
Foodie Radar: The Re-Source
We recently had the pleasure of enjoying a truly delicious lunch at the just re-opened Source (575 Penn. Ave, NW). Following a month-long closing at the end of the Summer, there’s a new look and revised menu to enjoy. One favorite from our recent trip that is perfect for lunch, dinner or a late-night snack, the Lacquered Duck Buns.
When the Source opened in 2007, it brought a clean, sleek LA vibe along with it’s Wolfgang Puck celebrity appeal. The new look is warmer and more sophisticated, while still very hip – perfect for the DC crowd. Chef Scott Drewno continues to produce some of the most consistent and delicious food in town. We were very excited to learn that Chef Drewno will soon be offering a 2-seat, kitchen-side, Chef’s tasting menu restaurant in a restaurant concept.
