Coffee & Reading the Morning Paper

Happy Friday! Were you lucky enough to attend the first-ever Battle of the Bagels this week? We had a ticket but were sadly unable to attend. “The winner is”…watch here! +730 DC posted an entire article about their favorite bagels, too, based on reader votes. Check for that article link, below. And this summer is swimming with MORE lovely events! We posted a list in last week’s ESPUMA also, but want to amplify again (below). We’ve curated a bunch in July and August and even have a discount code for a special DC mindfulness retreat. Some of the ticket sales end soon! Join us!
