"Chef Joancarlo Parkhurst, who grew up running around his family’s fruit canning factory in the Puerto Rican city of Bayamón, opened this all-day cafe to represent the island’s cuisine in D.C. Traditional dishes include garlicky mashed plantain mofongo, tripleta and jibarito sandwiches, and the chuleta kan-kan: a Berkshire pork chop that features a “mohawk” of pork belly cut to expose its fatty edges. Coffee and pastries are available for breakfast, and several rum cocktails are available for sipping on the patio. Order takeout here." - Tierney Plumb
