"Pearl’s Bagels in Mt. Vernon Triangle is in the perfect spot to grab a quick breakfast sandwich to start your day. The menu is deep, with predesigned bagels like the Frenchie topped with honey ham, eggs, gruyere, and heaps of spicy mustard, but you can also build your own. The shop is open daily but closes at 2pm, so make sure to skip that morning meeting that could’ve been an email if you’re craving their sweet honey butter slathered on a whole wheat bagel." - omnia saed, mekita rivas, tess shiras, allison robicelli
