Football specials at Black Jack
1612 14th St., NW

Beer at Bub and Pop’s
1815 M St., NW
Say goodbye to taking down a braised beef brisket sandwich with water. Chef Jon Taub just started serving craft brews at his Dupont sandwich shop, including Port City and Lagunitas, plus some good ol’ Yuengling and Miller Lite.
Neighborly brunch at Chez Billy
3815 Georgia Ave., NW
French brunch launches in Petworth on Sunday from 11 to 3. Neighbors helped create the menu from chef Brendan L’Etoile, which includes dishes such as a Croque Madame, apple-rum raisin French toast, and the “royale with cheese.”
Brunch at Macon Bistro and Larder
5520 Connecticut Ave., NW
If deviled eggs, biscuits and bacon gravy, and a “pluckin’ bun” sound like a good brunch, check out Macon’s new menu. The Chevy Chase DC eatery just started weekend service from 10 to 2 on Sunday.

Head to this Alexandria eatery for a new happy hour, Monday through Thursday from 4 to 6 (bar area only). Deals include $5 snacks—fried green tomatoes, crispy oysters, hushpuppies—as well as $2 freshly shucked oysters and $5 beers, wines, and tiki punch.
Two-for-one lunch at Republic
6939 Laurel Ave., Takoma Park
