The Quill at The Jefferson, D.C., takes the heat off summer cooking with a series of traditional Sunday suppers. Menu choices at the Washington, D.C. eatery include quiche Lorraine, crispy soft shell crab with spicy avocado mousse and crispy funnel cake with strawberries and whipped cream. The three-course prix fixe menu with a glass of wine is offered from 5–10 p.m. on Sundays for $35 per person, exclusive of tax and gratuity.

If you’re inclined to stay for breakfast, the historic boutique hotel — a fixture at the corner of 16th and M streets since 1923 — can accommodate with a selection of beautifully appointed guestrooms and exclusive specialty suites. Individual features vary from room to room, including some with soaking tubs crafted from hand-cut Italian stone and marble. Among the suites are the expansive top floor Thomas Jefferson with views of the Washington Monument, cozy gas fireplace and grand salon with walnut parquet flooring; and Martha Jefferson, with three Juliet balconies open to the sky, a gas fireplace, canopied king-size bed and an intimate dining room perfect for your morning room service tea.
