Washington, D.C. - February 16, 2006

Magical History Tour

Willard Hotel Brunch

Washington slept here. Lincoln was shot there. Chester Arthur lost his scarf over by that mailbox.

Is there any place in this city that hasn’t  been consecrated by history?

Nope. So you may as well stop trying to find one and go have brunch at the Willard Hotel. The historic spot now offers brunch in its Willard Room restaurant, so every Sunday you can choose from regional picks like Maine lobster, Colorado Bison, Washington State apple pound cake, or Hawaiian macadamia and fudge tart. And be sure to get a drink from the rolling, tableside Bloody Mary bar.

As you dine in the recently refurbished hotel, reflect on its celebrated past: Ulysses S. Grant coined the term “lobbyist” in the coat check.

The rest, as they say, is history.

The Willard InterContinental Hotel, 1401 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, between 14th and 15th Streets (202-628-9100).
