D.C. native bagel shop Call Your Mother is coming to Bethesda. They will be operating out of a repurposed trolley parked on Old Georgetown Road near Suburban Hospital.

The trolly boasts the classic bubble gum pink and bright teal that is featured through Call Your Mother locations.  They plan to open within a few weeks once all of the permits are approved, and will be parked in this spot for the foreseeable future, but at some point might be available for events and possibly moving to another location. They will be serving bulk bagels and bagel sandwiches, just like their other locations. As of right now, there is no outdoor seating.


Glenstone Museum in Potomac has reopened as an outdoor-only experience on Thursday-Sunday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Visitors will be allowed in groups no larger than 5 at a time, and each group is scheduled to arrive at least 15 minutes apart. Masks are required, and different groups must remain 6 feet apart.


Even though Glenstone is currently closed, the Potomac art museum has created ways to allow the community to visit from home.  They are hosting facebook live discussions with their Guides, are sharing photos of current works, and are transforming some of their exhibits so that  viewers at home can share in the experience. One of their interactive exhibits is an installation by artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres, which consists of a pile of fortune cookies assembled in the corner of the museum.  Glenstone explains what the traditional in-person experience would look like and how they have changed the process so folks at home can participate.

“In ordinary days, visitors would be able to take a cookie for themselves, read their fortune, and contemplate Gonzalez-Torres’ work and the questions it raises: how has this moment shifted our perceptions of public space? What does this work mean if you cannot be physically near it to take a cookie? How can we make and experience art across physical and digital boundaries?
