"Busboys and Poets has nearly every seat filled in its 320-seat space, with MSNBC coverage on TVs and a large projection screen. Waitstaff are clad in glow sticks and flag-themed attire, enhancing the patriotic vibe. Patrons react vocally to election updates, despite service delays due to the busy night." - Emily Venezky
"Across its multiple locations, I’d go to Busboys and Poets where the big screens will broadcast a co-hosted event with Make All Votes Count DC and there will be drink specials all night, including the usual $5 all-night draft deal." - Emily Venezky
"I note that Busboys & Poets had a 10-year run at the prominent corner location before moving halfway up the block in 2018." - Tierney Plumb
"At Mt. Vernon Triangle, Busboys & Poets confirmed they were closing Wednesday afternoon." - Gabe Hiatt
"I saw that Busboys & Poets, described as a progressive bookstore and hub for activism, was among Mt. Vernon Triangle restaurants that suffered broken windows." - Gabe Hiatt
