Brown Bag Opening Up on Eye Street

I heard a new Brown Bag location is opening next week at 1625 Eye Street NW.  You can brown bag it on Eye Street starting Thursday, February 3.  They'll be celebrating on Thursday with free pastries, muffins and Swing's coffee.

Yet another successful riff on the Chipotle model, Brown Bag lets you play with fresh, healthy ingredients as you design your own meal, choosing from an omelet, salad, sandwich or noodle bowl.  They make their own soups, dressings and various spreads in-house every day.

Brown Bag first opened in 2002 in Bethesda and has expanded in recent years to 14th and 18th Street in DC and Arlington.  Specialty salad bowls include bayou chicken caesar and cowboy steak.  Unfortunately there are no forties on the menu.
