"Pearl’s Bagels in Mt. Vernon Triangle is in the perfect spot to grab a quick breakfast sandwich to start your day. The menu is deep, with predesigned bagels like the Frenchie topped with honey ham, eggs, gruyere, and heaps of spicy mustard, but you can also build your own. The shop is open daily but closes at 2pm, so make sure to skip that morning meeting that could’ve been an email if you’re craving their sweet honey butter slathered on a whole wheat bagel." - omnia saed, mekita rivas, tess shiras, allison robicelli

"When you’re running late, this tiny bagel shop across from the convention center serves soft, tasty, lifesaving bagels, but Pearl’s is also a great place to post up and do your morning work. Most folks run in and out of the Mt. Vernon Triangle cafe, but there are comfy nook tables and tons of outlets if you want to whip out your laptop while you enjoy your Frenchie, a bagel topped with juicy honey ham, eggs, gruyere cheese, and heaps of spicy dijon mustard. The shop is open daily but closes at 2pm, so make sure to skip that meeting that should’ve been an email if you’re craving their sweet honey butter slathered on a whole wheat bagel. photo credit: Nina Palazzolo" - Tristiaña Hinton
