Today's installment of "Carryout with @AustinKGraff" features popular spot Norma's Breakfast. Whiting is coated in a fried chicken batter - super crispy seasoned flour that holds up well for takeout. Sides include all kinds of carbs. The french toast is better than the pancakes.
Next time you visit D.C.’s World War II Memorial, find wartime graffiti etched in two places. Near the backside of the PA pillar is one “Kilroy Was Here” & the other opposite of it. U.S. soldiers carved it all over Europe & Asia as a sign of comfort & lightheartedness.
UNIQUE BOOK EVENT: @JoeHimali , Cynthia Schiavetto Staliunas, and I will be at @eastcitybooks 6/3 to briefly talk about the book, answer D.C. trivia, and go on a scavenger hunt around Eastern Market. RSVP for free here: https://t.co/Fn9GiuRYws.
D.C. Friends: Addy & I are celebrating the launch of 111 Places for Kids in Washington, DC That You Must Not Miss at @DCHistory inside the historic Carnegie Library, one of the city's few old public buildings never segregated, on 5/26. RSVP: https://t.co/0QR9vi7FQh.

@amg_teach That’s so exciting! Can’t wait to see where you explore.
Most local bookstores should have it, but you can call and ask. If not, they can order it. I do know that Solid State & East City Bookshop have it. Politics & Prose is getting it this week!
My book is out! Based on my daughter & I exploring every D.C. neighborhood, the book is the collection of Addy’s favorite places. My hope is that this book inspires curiosity & exploration of all parts of the city. Here’s more info: https://t.co/2xM1ZFldA6.
