At this point in your career, you’re probably pretty set with your weekend scheduling. You grab a couple of beers on Saturday evening, and roll out of bed around noon on Sunday for a brunch with enough calories to last you until Tuesday (at least). If you’re an Instagrammer, you’ve probably already hit all of the hot spots in your city, leaving a void on your Sunday afternoon feed, when previously you’d be raking in the likes. I mean, how often can you post about the same bloodies and eggs benedict before losing all of your friends?
Thankfully, Whaley’s at Navy Yard is here to revamp brunch – not from the menu, but from a visual perspective, so be sure to pack your mobile charges. As of last weekend, Whaley’s is opening a rosé garden that you’ll definitely want to check out. Unlike the beer gardens you’re no doubt familiar with, you might mistake this new location for a Lilly pop-up event on first glance. Like our favorite summer beverage, everything – tables, chairs, flowers, umbrellas, and planters – is the perfect shade of millennial pink, minus a bit of greenery mixed in.
The rosé garden will feature seafood from Whaley’s accompanied by an entire rosé menu (of course). Highball cocktails and piña coladas make a menu appearance, but your best bet is splitting a bottle of wine with the table to be the most on brand. If you do plan to show up for the opening this Saturday, close your OpenTable app and be prepared to wait since they’re not accepting reservations. You can also only bring five friends along, so please don’t get rowdy – this isn’t that kind of place. Obviously, I want in.
If you go to brunch for the chicken and waffles and bottomless mimosas (hi), you may want to give this restaurant a second thought because there are only five food offerings. The cheapest of the five is a plate of marinated asparagus for the low price of $11, so you may want to pre-game with some McGriddles first if you’re predisposed to getting hangry. Otherwise, break out your seersucker and enjoy this (photo) opportunity of a lifetime..

I feel like your brunch attire is what really sets the tone for brunching. You want to be classy yet comfortable (you want to seem inviting while also letting people know that you just don’t give a fuck about much anymore). I found that my brunch uniform consists of sunglasses, casual blazer or coat, sweatpants/joggers, Toms slip-ons or dress shoes, and messy hair with a scruffy unshaven face. Also sitting down and leaning over your table as if you’re trying not to throw up everywhere is a really effective way to show that you take your weekends seriously as you try to forget that you are a wage slave to the corporate oligarchy
With a name like Devin it would probably do you well to stop believing you’re so edgy. I have a hard time believing anyone’s buying it.
PSA to new commenters: Do some research on the shtick before trying to be a hardass with your replies, cheers!
Thanks, Rick Flair. You were always a solid wrestler
Yeah, people are gonna do research to make a comment on a comedy website… Talk about real PGP – some of us have better things to do.
Regardless, the fact of the matter is I’ve seen him comment dozens of times, and while sometimes amusing, always far off the left field works sparingly, not habitually.
Yet you still created an account to comment, must not have that much more to do than us. Maybe we can resolve things over a liquid dinner.
This isn’t a new account sweetheart, but if you tone up your reading comprehension just a bit you would understand that my comment about having better things to do refers to “researching” before making a comment – not just commenting in general, which can be fun on here now and again.
Although I’m gonna tuck my tail between my legs and walk away on this one because after reading the whole thread I certainly look like an asshole (realistically probably am). Sorry for my tone Cartographer, if we ever have that liquid dinner 1st round is on me.
Make it the first 3 rounds and we might have a deal buddy.
That’s easy for you to say seeing that you use a pseudonym to conceal your identity. If you’re a guy, you seem like a Johnathon, not a John but a Jonathan because you have that pretentious aura yet you’re seemingly basic to the core with no real substance or validity. If you’re a female, you seem like a Sam. You tried to make you’re full name Samantha more edgy by cutting it off bit it was highly ineffective because everyone hates a Sam who isn’t special needs. Come back and write some insults and we can have a sit down meeting to go over your work.
Moving to the Navy Yard in June. Can’t wait to bust out my coral shorts and hit the place up!!!
Oh CrabCakes… Skip this and meet me over at Bardo
