Gospel Brunch at The Hamilton

A highlight in a weekend of many highlights (including the D.C. Pride Parade. Wow. Moving and exhilarating on many levels.) was the excellent gospel brunch at The Hamilton. We were lucky to catch one of the last shows of the D.C. Jazz Fest, with the brilliant Anthony Walker on piano, plus other gifted musicians and vocalists. And the Southern-style fare hit the spot. In a town replete with weekend brunch options, many of which feature a side of jazz, this one is absolutely a must, whether you're a D.C. local or visiting from out of town.


On the way out, I couldn't help but appreciate the décor's whimsical avian motifs.

Swan in flight. And, the glass ceiling! So pretty I couldn't bear to crop it out.
Hope you enjoyed your weekend, too. Do you have any favorite brunch spots where you are?

  1. Hello Amoura..I have been to the Hamilton and had a very nice time. A similar concept is Georgia Browns with its low-country cuisine and jazzy ambiance. Great southern food. The chocolate fountain is a great treat for kids. You might be seating next to your favorite senator or congresswoman so be ready to share politics and fried chicken with them.. Bon appetite!!
