Busboys & Poets just opened their newest location in the Merriweather District in Columbia, MD, perfectly timed with my birthday š Thank you kindly!Ā
It's been years since I stopped by the one in Hyattsville always hoping that they'll open one up in Howard County, closer to home & office. I just love the blend of restaurant/coffee shop/bar/bookstore and event space, and align with Busboys & Poets philosophy which is literally the writing on their wall:
"is a community where racial and cultural connections
are consciously uplifted
a place to take a deliberate pause
and feed your mind, body and soul...
a space for art, culture, and politics
to intentionally collide...
we believe that by creating such a space
we can inspire social change
and begin to transform our community and the world."
Our first visit did not disappoint. There was no wait on Monday eve - expect that to change, however - the staff was warm and polite, the space welcoming and the food was delicious! There are a number of choices for people with dietary restrictions which is always exciting for me! I haven't had meat since the mid-90s and can't do dairy, in many restaurants my choices are often limited to salad, salad or salad. Not so at Busboys and Poets! Tacos, sandwiches, pasta, stir-fry, flatbread pizzas.. there are lots of vegan options on the menu.Ā
I will have to try them all!Ā
A special occasion also deserves a special drink! I tried the Can't Tell Me Nothing cocktail (Rye Whiskey, Cardamom/pumpkin syrup and cider) which is being offered cold and hot. Since I couldn't decide, the staff made both happen for me. They first served the warm version (pictured below) and then brought a glass with ice to pour half of it into. I loved them both!Ā
We will be frequent visitors, no doubt! I am looking forward to brunch on the patio (with Lenny, the Real Estate Dog - I asked, and dogs are welcome outside) and attending future events.Ā
Busboys and Poets is a wonderful addition to the Columbia community and the new Merriweather District! Such a fun and exciting place to be! If you are looking to be part of the community, you can start by browsing for homes for sale here.
