John, when I was still courting my wife we used to frequent Adams Morgan, particularly a joint called Havana Village where we took Argentine Tango lessons and stayed around late into the night salsa dancing. Another favorite is Perry's with their drag queen brunch. My sister-in-law spent a few months waitressing at Tryst, a nouveau coffee-shop just down the block from Madam's Organ (always loved that one). The diversity of sights, smells, sounds, and tastes makes Adams Morgan a favorite hangout. Now that we're 6 years settled into married life, I'm afraid we spend to much time in the comfort of our suburban strip mall Italian and Thai restaurants and rarely venture into the city for a bite. Perhaps it's time to leave that comfort zone and begin exploring once again.
Brian - Perrys has been the hot spot for brunch for years. There really isn't any stiff competition for them Sunday mornings. The Tryst served a fine cup of coffee in the day. You and the bride should venture out. I would recommend a Saturday afternoon. It is much nicer to visit old haunts in the light of day. There is a reason we find a comfort zone.
