Simit + Smith Media Dinner Recap

Döner Kebap Dürüm (Wrap)

There's a new sheriff simit in town; and you can find it in the heart of Georgetown (at the corner of M Street & Wisconsin Avenue, NW.) What's a simit, you ask? It's a Turkish bagel... only crunchier on the outside, and softer inside. In other words, the perfect breakfast bread. I hadn't had one in years; but with the opening of Simit + Smith, that's (thankfully) about to change.
