"If festivities are more casual this year, perhaps Baker’s Daughter is the best option. With locations in downtown’s Eaton Hotel, Chinatown, and Ivy City, the boutique cafe by chef and dad Matt Baker (Michelin-rated Gravitas and Michele’s) has a party package fit for a picnic or casual dinner. Packages start at $44 for the health-conscious father figure and go up to a $68 with a choice of four sandwiches, two sides, and a couple starters. (And as a shameless plug, Eater DC’s turkey-salami melt is currently taking on Washingtonian’s summer BLT — $10 each — as part of a new month-long Sammie Standoff series at Baker’s Daughter.)" - Vinciane Ngomsi
