Visiting D.C. -Brunch

This weekend I visited our good friends from Oregon. They have recently moved to D.C. (Maryland) and I finally visited them...! I wanted to do this for a while then I had so many business trips and couldn't happen until now. It was third time to visit D.C. for me, about 4 hours drive from NYC but totally worth it to see my best friend!! My friend with cute houses for background.

Buildings are really different from NYC of course, a lot of gov. buildings, clean city, nice metro....  It was such a beautiful weekend too, we decided to go grab a nice brunch near Eastern market.

Hello Capital!

オレゴン時代からの仲良しが、D.C.に引っ越してしばらく。ずっと遊びに行こうと思ってたんだけど、ようやく週末行ってきました。NYから運転する事約4時間。景色もがらりとかわります〜。きれいでエレガントな建物、街もきれいだし、地下鉄もきれいだし。どうしてこうも違うかね!!とっても秋晴れの(むしろ夏のような)天気の中、女子は早起きして、おいしいと有名なブランチを食べに行きました。


Market Lunch, is what's it's called I think. They are in the part of farmer's market place and there is a line from early morning!! people are waiting for their well known blue berry pancakes. We ordered buck wheat blue berry pancakes, crab cakes, (so crab!) grits, scrambled eggs, potatoes and fried green tomatoes.... (yummmmmm) Although the line was long, it went pretty quick. We grabbed food and ate outside.  Pancake was fluffy and crab cake had so much crab meat, worth waiting in the line. It was such a nice market, they had fresh meat, fish etc. I wish this place was close from my house.

朝から女子は、マーケットランチ、というところにブランチへ。有名らしくて早朝から行列。NY Timesの記事も貼ってあるけど、1985年とかの記事だし!(笑)この行列は歴史的らしく。ブルーベリーパンケーキが有名で、色々頼みましたよ〜。ブルーベリーパンケーキ、クラブケーキ、フライドグリーントマト、、、写真撮ったけど全般的に茶色くて別においしそうにみえないから掲載しません。(笑)でもおいしいし、値段も良心的で、3人で$30ぐらい。又行きたい!男性陣は、朝からブランチ、の為に行列なんて並んでいられないと、寝ていたのでした。
