For the sons and daughters who slacked a little on planning this year, Eater has scored OpenTable (as well as newcomer pay-for-reservation services Table8; iPhone and Android users can also download the Resy app for further options) to see what's available for brunch Sunday. Here are tables at reasonable brunch times for a group of 4 at new or reliable D.C. restaurants. around town. Keep in mind these reservations won't be there forever, so book now.
