Hey, look, it’s something D.C. is better at than New York: Bottomless brunches.

Well, not necessarily “better at” than “better at doing legally.” As Gothamist noted, there’s a little-known New York state law that prohibits “selling, serving, delivering or offering to patrons an unlimited number of drinks during any set period of time for a fixed price.” Of course, most places that serve brunch in New York City ignore that.

Luckily, D.C., I’m happy to report that there’s no such law here. According to Jessie Cornelius, a spokesperson with the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration, “there is no law in the District that outright bans bottomless drink specials.” However, there is a law that prohibits the sale of alcohol to a drunk person, as well as a law stating that a person can’t be served an alcoholic drink if there’s already an unfinished one in front of them. A “back-up drink,” so to speak.

In short, your bottomless brunches can go on, unthreatened by the boot of the law.
