"The iconic “18th and U” address reopened its doors as the renewed Her Diner, complete with colorful cocktails, neon everywhere, and a Beyonce-themed bathroom. The eye-popping diner is an inclusive neighborhood space that features everything from comfort food favorites to Bravo-viewing parties and lively weekend brunches flowing with bubbly beverages. The restaurant is the brainchild of Kelly Laczko, who makes her debut as an owner and operator after spending 10 years as general manager for the space’s previous occupant, Duplex Diner." - Emily Venezky
