Don’t look at Labor Day as the end of summer. Look at it as a chance to start downing mimosas as early as 8 a.m. on a Monday. And in the District, you can soak up all the champagne with everything from traditional American to Asian-Latin cuisine. This list features just some of the many D.C. restaurants where you can brunch on Labor Day.
