Jimmy T's Place

"This family-owned restaurant in Capitol Hill is everything you want from your neighborhood cafe. It’s the type of place you can sit at a table solo or side-by-side with friends in a booth dissecting the drama from the night before. Expect nothing but the fundamentals: booths, bar seating, and wooden tables that can be rearranged to accommodate big groups. The straightforward menu is full of American breakfast classics, the best of which are the omelets and the french toast. Like other diners, it’s cash-only here, so be prepared." - omnia saed, mekita rivas, tess shiras

"You always know what you’re going to get at Jimmy T’s: a table, diner-grade coffee, your breakfast served on a paper plate, and a check that can only be paid with cash. This is the best place in the neighborhood to shake off a wild night, and Jimmy T’s does the morning-after basics best—we love the straightforward, absolutely zero-frills grilled cheese with tomato and a side of fries. We also like the plain and satisfying hamburger, and a meat-heavy “maternity sandwich” named for the owner’s past pregnancy cravings. Jimmy T’s opened in the ‘60s, and a photo of Kennedy still hangs askew on the wall and a vintage TV plays on loop. We hope this place lasts forever. " - madeline weinfield
