Editorial Review
Founding father of the revolutionary pairing of food and literature. Glass-covered back porch to bookstore welcomes all, serves all: whodunnits to Hemingway, chicken caesar to Moroccan tagine. Thick stews satiate rainy day appetites; oversized desserts meant to kill diabetics. Bookish club kids and GS-13s browse for Browning amid bestsellers. Kindred spirits meet under Poetry and move to the bar. As much a Dupont Circle staple as the Dixieland brass band that plays on the corner.
