Your Perks: 1) A long-sleeve shirt designed by MIT grads and infused with coffee. We’ll explain. 2) A Jay Z–approved hangover cure so you can continue brunching unabated. 3) Half off all of your autumn shoes. Just in time...
Good news on the caffeine-and-carbs front, no matter what neighborhood you happen to be waking up in. First, District Doughnut has gone from soft-open to... hard-open. Second, an Adams Morgan furniture shop is now hosting a coffee-and-pastry pop-up by Café Diem. Be careful, the coffee’s hot.

There will be plenty of other Saturdays full of college football. So sacrifice one in the service of 275 beers at this year’s Snallygaster festival, many of them rare or even one-offs. Also expect the usual complement of food trucks, oysters and donuts. Surely you can find a beer to pair with them.
