With the exception of some rain on the way, we think it’s safe to say: Patio dining weather is here.
The rainbow of umbrellas that have sprouted at local restaurants is practically beckoning us to dine out outdoors. And in our neighborhood, we have several places to choose from.
The last time we compiled this list was in 2014. Bread Furst had recently opened, and brought the number of eating establishments in our neighborhood with outdoor seating to an even dozen.
Now, there are 18 by our count. Starting at Nebraska Avenue and heading south to Van Ness Street:
Comet Ping Pong (5307 Connecticut)
Call Your Mother (5035 Connecticut)
