Woodley Park's Hidden Gem for Brunch

$9. Yes, $9.
Woodley's best kept secret for Sunday Brunch is Murphy's, a great little Irish bar on 24th Street and Calvert. Right around the corner from the hustle and bustle and hour-long-wait for Open City (which mind you, is also a good choice), Murphy's is keeping a secret that's sure to eventually get out and get huge. Their Sunday brunch menu gives patrons a coffee or tea, a glass of champagne or a mimosa, and 1 choice out of 5 hearty menu options - all for 9 bucks.  It's hard to believe in the popular (and sometimes expensive) DC brunch scene, but it's true.  As if that wasn't enough, you can get additional champagne and mimosas for $1 each.  That makes for a nice Sunday morning with friends.

The Sunday brunch menu options include: a 3 egg omelet with home fries, steak and eggs, pancakes with sausage, french toast with bacon and home fries, a hamburger platter, or the Irish country breakfast: eggs, sausage AND bacon, home fries, and a biscuit.  That's what I always order as the best of all worlds kind of choice. I'm not even generally a home fries fan, but these are tasty. Regardless of what meal you choose, it's hearty, and with a mimosa, it all goes down smooth.

Murphy's has other great specials to check out, too: http://www.murphysofdc.com/index.php
