Lumpia is life! I’ve been dismissive of #Filipino restaurants for decades — oily, crude recipes usually done better by home cooks. #PurplePatch was a revelation, right down to its sparkling 🍗 adobo and creamy 🐑 shank. 🇵🇭😋💜 – at Washington, DC

An award well deserved! Patrice is also a veteran & @PurplePatchDC is one of the first Filipino restaurants established in #DC. Through the @WellsFargo Open for Business Fund, LISC provided Purple Patch a grant in 2020 to help keep the business going in the midst of the pandemic

Some thoughts on time, the pandemic and why eating breakfast any time of day makes perfect sense. washingtonpost.com/goingoutg…
The best places to get breakfast in the middle of the afternoon, because what is time anymore?

The pandemic has blurred the lines between meals. These 9 breakfast dishes from D.C.-area restaurants are great any time of day.

About @PurplePatchDC Wednesday piano night which has always been welcoming and warm since they opened doors. Remember that ridiculously hyped Pacquiao-Mayweather fight a few years back where most bars were charging $20+ cover? No cover there.

This is a wonderful story about Ward 1’s Mount Pleasant neighborhood, our city, and the fascinating people who make DC home. Kudos to @PurplePatchDC owner Patrice Cleary for creating such a magical space.

So this Sunday, take a break from the endless cycle of political news to read about this old piano in northwest D.C. and the space it has given people to find an audience and a family. wapo.st/2ygQoZd

Like almost everyone else who has stumbled into the basement of @PurplePatchDC, I found the restaurant and its 1960s-era wooden piano while hunting for SEAsian food, which is to say, by serendipity.
