"Cleveland Park’s quiet remove from the buzz of downtown means it’s easy to walk in and find a seat at Sababa, the Israeli restaurant that’s long been a staple in the neighborhood. We like coming here for brunch, which is served just once a week, on Sundays. Their shakshuka and Jerusalem bagel sandwiches are some of the best you’ll find in the city, and their old-school style chopped chicken liver is a welcome alternative to your standard breakfast sausage. If you’re an eggs benedict devotee, Sababa makes a few with braised lamb and smoked eggplant." - madeline weinfield
