"The weekend brunch (Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) at this hyperlocal American restaurant in Logan Circle has plenty of outdoor seating. Opt for a “chef’s choice” ($45 per person) to sample a variety of dishes, or go with a la carte options like eggs Benedict topped with braised short rib." - Tierney Plumb
"Nina May will offer a special menu only available on New Year’s Eve. The spread retails for $100 per person and is served family style. Highlights include scallop carpaccio with winter citrus, dry aged prime rib, and basque cheesecake. Make reservations here." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"This neighborhood spot in Shaw has brought back its Winter Wonderland covered patio for the season, where diners can take advantage of cozy fire pits and blankets surrounded holiday decor and a grand Christmas tree. Classic winter cocktails include eggnog, hot toddies, mulled wine, and Mexican hot chocolate. Chef Colin McClimans’ warming dishes include Parker House rolls with sage butter; butternut squash and sage risotto fritters with pink peppercorn ricotta and brown butter; and more hearty bites. Don’t miss out on free canapés and ornaments handed out during a tree lighting ceremony on Saturday, December 14 at 7 p.m. — EV" - Vinciane Ngomsi

Both Opal and Nina May will be open on Thanksgiving Day from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. At Nina May, a chef’s choice menu will be served family style. Meanwhile at Opal, a three-course prix fixe menu is available, with additional add ons, starters, and sides." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"The Logan Circle restaurant is celebrating five years of hyper local, seasonal menus by bringing back the chef’s choice menu, previously known as the “Family Meal” prix fixe, that was in place when the first location of Nina May opened in 2019. For one week, from November 1-8, diners can opt in for the experience of having chef and owner Colin McClimans send out dishes he’s chosen until you’re ready to ask for dessert. Lots of regulars’ favorite dishes will make an appearance, including onion rings with smoked carrot mustard, roasted spaghetti squash and molasses bread, and crispy Maryland porchetta. 1337 11th St NW" - Emily Venezky
