"Ted’s Bulletin opened nearly 15 years ago, and the original diner—with its iconic yellow, tufted-leather bar and booths—in Capitol Hill is the neighborhood’s go-to spot for an unfussy breakfast that tastes like a home-cooked meal. The operation has grown to eight locations across the DMV, though the Capitol Hill outpost remains our favorite for its super-friendly staff and quaint original charm. Breakfast is served all day, and if you’re anything like us, you’ll keep coming back for the huevos rancheros, biscuits and sausage gravy, and thick-cut french toast. Definitely leave room for the house dessert: Ted’s Tarts, available in strawberry, brown sugar and cinnamon, s’mores, and blueberry cheesecake." - omnia saed, mekita rivas, tess shiras
