Week 1: Galaxie Diner

1413 11th Street S.W.

Bonnie Huang says the retro feel and fast service at Galaxie Diner makes it a reliable choice for Sunday Brunch. Be forewarned: the lineups can grow to be a block long — or longer on the weekends, but staff at Galaxie serve coffee for those willing to wait.
