Ici Urban Bistro Offers Post-party Sustenance With Inaugural Midnight Breakfasts

The old adage 'early to bed and early to rise' may take a backseat during inauguration week, as residents and tourists spill out on DC's streets to celebrate President-elect Barack Obama's entry into the White House. They may not get enough sleep, but late-night revelers will definitely get enough to eat, thanks to Ici Urban Bistro's Inaugural Ball Breakfast Menu. From Sunday, January 18, 2009 to Tuesday, January 20, 2009, Ici will offer a hot and delicious breakfast at Le Bar from 11:30 pm to 2:00 am.

Guests can nurse their hangovers by biting into a juicy Black Angus cheeseburger with roasted tomatoes, cheddar cheese and onions, served with a side of fries. Priced at $21, the burger isn't the only dish diners can enjoy. Chef Olivier is also offering a hearty penne in a creamy garlic sauce with asparagus, portobello mushrooms and a sprinkle of fresh herbs for $24. Late night diners can also look forward to a choice of $20 omelets, from the traditional ham and cheese to the more figure-friendly egg white and asparagus. A complete Inaugural Breakfast Ball menu is included below.

Ici Urban Bistro offers perfectly shareable French cuisine in a chic, modern space. Ici Urban Bistro is located in the Sofitel hotel in Lafayette Square at 806 15th Street, NW Washington, DC 20005.
