E Pluribus Pun-um

Before I start this post, I have to apologize to a friend of mine, who might end up significantly more in debt because of it...

DC is a city full of pride in itself, and as such, it loves to make jokes about itself.  Now many cities have businesses with cute punny names, but it seems like DC has an inordinate amount of them!  So I decided to compile a few of my favorites that I've found over the past several months!


We, the Pizza: Delicious pizza that everybody can love, about 3 blocks from the Capitol Building


Howl to the Chief: Adorable pet store for your First Pup on Barracks Row


Founding Farmers: Excellent farm-to-table restaurant George Washington could approve of


DCanter: Wine shop on Barracks Row, proudly sporting the red, white, and rosé!


District Taco: Not exactly a pun, but good tacos, and a clever use of the map of DC in their logo!


Not all of DC's good puns are necessarily related to the city's status as the US capital!

Thai Tanic: Haven't been to this one, but I've got a sinking feeling they serve a lot of iceberg lettuce!


Thaiphoon: There's quite of wave of punniness when it comes to Thai restaurants!  Haven't eaten here either, though.


Grill from Ipanema: Another one I haven't tried, but I'm sure they've got lots of options, maybe even a Brazilian of them!


Papa Razzi: This one I found online, but it seems to have closed and disappeared, perhaps because of too many embarrassing pictures?
