The Best Lunch Spots In DC - Washington DC - The Infatuation

"The problem with great restaurants is that everyone wants to eat there. That explains why there’s often a line at Yellow, but believe us when we say that line is worth waiting in. Their jammy egg croissant is a work of art—a flaky, buttery bird's nest cradling a quivering egg atop a schmear of shakshuka, topped with salty crumbles of kashkaval cheese. The falafel sandwich is a technicolor dream, with vividly hued pickled veggies spilling out the top of the wood-fired pita. Be forewarned—Yellow’s deserved popularity might prevent you from grabbing a table, so be prepared to bring your food back to the office, or pick a pretty bench nearby to dine al fresco." - allison robicelli, madeline weinfield
