"Housed in a red brick–framed building in Dupont Circle, the Phillips Collection (1600 21st Street NW) — America’s first museum of modern art — will host a walk-up Bread Furst cafe open to the public in early May; the museum-affiliated cafe will operate on abbreviated hours (11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesdays through Sundays) so customers can buy baked goods without paying the $16 admission to peruse Matisse and Picasso paintings. Furstenberg, a longtime member of the museum and Dupont resident, said the overture from the Phillips Collection was irresistible and that he hopes the cafe will serve both members and the surrounding community." - Tierney Plumb
