The Riggsby
Attached to the Carlyle Hotel in DuPont, The Riggsby does everything “classic” extremely well.
Literature, political scandal, and brunch — this neighborhood establishment scores the DC trifecta. The bookstore that successfully refused to turn over Monica Lewinsky’s purchase records actually serves a pretty solid omelette, and there are cocktails like the Bridget Jones's Daiquiri and the Drankenstein, if you get excited about book jokes. There are definitely better brunches around, but only this one brings you one square closer to filling out your Obligatory DC Monuments bingo card.
