Buffalo & Bergen - Capitol HIll

"Another location of the Buffalo & Bergen chain offering their signature New York-style bagels and a variety of beverages." - Nicole Schaller

"Longtime D.C. mixologist Gina Chersevani pays homage to her native New York on Capitol Hill with a dream deli slinging bagels, matzo ball soup, knishes, and killer cocktails. Opt for takeout, patio seating, and indoor dining. The 4-year-old location builds upon the success of the original in Union Market." - Tim Ebner, Missy Frederick, Tierney Plumb

"The Lox’d & Loaded is B&B’s baller answer to a bloody mary. Sundae-style glasses are filled with the restaurant’s award-winning homemade spicy mix, Ketel One, and eclipsed with an actual NYC-style bagel literally loaded with lox and cream cheese (or even bacon on request). Want to recreate this majestic delicacy at home? B&B also sells their secret specialty mix by the bottle online. The original locale sits in Union Market, and a third edition is about to open in Cleveland Park." - Claudia Rosenbaum, Tierney Plumb

"Master mixologist Gina Chersevani relies on a vintage, 1930s Bastian-Blessing soda fountain, which never fails to churn out soda counter classics. Instead of egg creams, floats, and malts, her and lead bartender Frankie Jones’s non-alcoholic selection of old-fashioned favorites include the “Frankie 2024” with house-blended juniper tea enhanced by notes of citrus, ginger, coconut, and apple topped with Q Tonic." - Vinciane Ngomsi

"Gina Chersevani’s New York-style soda counter, famed for its knishes, sells “live, love, latkes” with bourbon apple sauce, creme fraiche, and chives. Order online from the Capitol Hill or Union Market locations." - Tierney Plumb
