"Call Your Mother knows how to attract a crowd. This fast-casual Jewish deli is the closest DC has gotten to a New York City bagel—which is a big deal. The bagels, ranging from plain to maple salt and pepper, are made fresh and served with cream cheeses like strawberry jam and candied salmon. Their signature sandwiches, like The Pastrami Sun City, made with pastrami, egg, cheddar, and spicy honey, are instant classics. The shop's decor includes quirky designs in aquamarine and pink, so get ready to pull out your phone at least once to snap a quick pic while holding up the line. That said, it’s in your best interest to skip the line entirely. Order ahead, especially on weekends where wait times (typically around 10-15 minutes) can hike up quickly." - omnia saed
"While bagels are a no-no during Passover, CYM and its multiple DMV locations go all in on DIY taco dinner kits featuring a modern Jewish mashup of flavors: brisket and pastrami and cauliflower and latke, plus pastrami or veggie fried rice, tortillas, pineapple salsa, taco sauce, cheese, and dessert. They’ll also have matzah brittle, macaroons, and bon bons. Order by Thursday, April 18 for pick-up or delivery on April 20-23." - Evan Caplan, Tierney Plumb
"Ok, so the President didn’t go inside, but the motorcade still swung by the Georgetown location of this uber-popular “Jew-ish” deli to place a pickup order for sesame bagels with cream cheese." - Eater Staff

"Sometimes the day after NYE calls for starting off the year at home in pajamas. If that sounds more your speed, head over to Call Your Mother, where pre-orders for bagel platters now available, plus two doughnut specials: guava jam and peanut butter cream ($14 for four)." - Kalina Newman
