Where to eat (for humans and canines)
PEACOCK CAFÉ While city laws don’t allow dogs inside any
eateries, there are plenty of places with patios that welcome four-
legged diners. The Peacock Café is one of the most popular brunch
spots in Georgetown and fortunately your canine companion can be
part of the chic weekend scene — playing with other pups on the patio
and posting Instagram-worthy pics. The tomato bisque is a Peacock
classic, while the sandwiches are named after classic movie stars. Are
you a Humphrey Bogart kind or person or more of a James Dean? On
the lighter side, plunder the Peacock juice bar or grab a smoothie.
LOGAN TAVERN Your dog doesn’t have to be 21 to drink at the
Logan Tavern. While you enjoy a cold beer at this friendly pub on
Logan Circle, he or she can catch some rays on the patio in summer or
huddle under a space heater in winter. The staff goes out of their way
to make all dogs comfortable and feel welcome. Comfort is the name
of the game when it comes to food too, from crispy brussels sprouts
to winter toast with charred rustico, fig jam, whipped goat cheese
and roasted delicata squash. Fuel up for a morning walk with
brisket hash or a chorizo and avocado omelet.
THE DAIRY GODMOTHER Whatever the weather,
the flavor forecast is always frozen custard with a
chance of sorbet at the Dairy Godmother. The famed
Del Rey Wisconsin-style custard shop has a rotating
calendar of flavors ranging from carrot cake and lemon
meringue pie to Irish coffee cream and pina colada. But
the best thing about the Godmother menu is Puppy
Pops, which are made from plain yogurt, peanut butter
and either pumpkin or banana. And if your pooch is
lactose intolerant or allergic to wheat, they cater to
that too. Prefer something crunchy over creamy?
The Squirrels dog treats are made with barley
malt (a by-product of beer) and plus eggs,
vegetable oil and wheat flour.
