First of all, I went to Busboys and Poets last night and had the Vegan pizza, which I can’t say was more than just good. It wasn’t phenomenal, but they do use vegan cheese & it does taste like pizza. It comes with typical pizza-esque veggies (peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach) and is like $10. I wouldn’t recommend making a trip to Busboys just to eat it, but if you ever find yourself there (and very hungry — it was huge) it’s not a bad option. But in all honesty, I wish I had gotten a salad or something.
(I also saw two shows at the 930 club last night: the Books with Todd Reynolds & Ratatat along with Hexa and Despot. The Books were absolutely incredible, as was Todd Reynolds. Hexa was just okay. Despot was pretty cool. Ratatat would have been a lot better had dumb drunk people not gotten on stage and proceeded to make fools out of themselves. In fact, Ratatat actually stopped a song to tell people to get off the stage. The crowd was so obnoxious that I actually left early.)
Today I made cranberry pumpkin pancakes for breakfast. They were delicious! (Sorry the picture isn’t that great. Not much natural light.)

Yeah, I much prefer the vegan pizza at Pizzeria Paradiso and Ella’s Woodfired Pizza. Busboys & Poets has the hipster political thing going on, which is all well and good, but the food is just meh for me.

Liz- Yeah, I’m kind of on your side. I’ve never been to either of those other pizza places, but Busboys & Poets wasn’t that impressive. But it was out towards the 930 club and sala thai was closed (we ate really early because the books show was at 6.)

I say pancakes for every meal, especially if they look as good as yours.

You should totally try those other places! I love the bosco at PP, and the melanzana (or something like that) at Ella’s. Yummm. Slightly pricy, but gourmet and delicious and vegan cheesy. I like dukem’s ethiopian around U street, although BB&P really isn’t that bad…just a bit overpriced for the quality of food.
