Politico Playbook
If you need to know what’s happening inside the Beltway — like waaaay inside — then there’s Playbook, a daily email from Politico’s Mike Allen. It’s a lengthy read, and pretty wonky, but it’s the place where all DC insiders go each morning. Sign up here.

Washington DC can be overwhelming with all of the different options for food. From local favorites such as Ben’s Chili Bowl to fine dining such as Le Diplomate, it can be hard to settle on just one restaurant. To make your decisions easier, here are a few of my favorite restaurants to eat at for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Enjoy!
Breakfast: Ted’s Bulletin
My favorite meal is breakfast, so it is hard for me to ever pass up the chance to go to Ted’s Bulletin. With a lively atmosphere, incredible wait staff and mouth watering breakfast options, I can promise you will never leave hungry. Ted’s is most known for its homemade pop tarts. The pop tart flavors range from blueberry cheesecake to salted caramel, so you do not want to miss the opportunity to try one of these delectable treats!
