"Knead Hospitality + Design’s stylish ode to greasy-spoon Americana debuted across from Nationals Park in 2021 with throwback cocktails, meatloaf, oversized chicken pot pie, an In-N-Out-inspired smash burger, and vegan Caesar salad. The diner’s epic weekday happy hour (11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.) features $6 chilled Jim Beam shots, $8 frozen daiquiris, and discounts on the night’s featured “Blue Plate” special like lasagna, braised short ribs, or fish and chips. Order online for pickup or delivery." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
