"Open since 1944, Florida Avenue Grill claims to be the oldest soul food restaurant in the world. It’s certainly one of the oldest in D.C., and it’s a go-to for breakfast favorites served all day. Try their three-egg omelet that features American cheese, Monterey Jack, bacon, sausage, onions, green peppers, and jalapeños. It’s served with apples, home fries or grits and toast, and a hot biscuit or a corn muffin. Shortened hours for takeout during reopening are 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. from Friday to Sunday. Patio seating is also available." - Lisa Ruland, Gabe Hiatt, Tierney Plumb
