Call Your Mother, DC’s beloved “Jew-ish” deli revered for its innovative take on classic bagels, is expanding to National Landing’s Water Park in early 2025. The new kiosk location will join an exciting mix of dining concepts at the 1.6-acre outdoor culinary destination. Eater was the first to report on the news.
The deli’s signature bagels strike a unique balance between traditional New York and Montreal styles, featuring a subtle sweetness from its honey-infused recipe. While honoring bagel-making traditions, Call Your Mother brings its own characteristically playful approach, encompassed in its motto: “we don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we’re serious about bagels”.
“We’re delighted to welcome local fan favorite Call Your Mother to Water Park,” said Brandon Taff, Senior Vice President at JBG SMITH. “Their arrival further enhances our terrific lineup of kiosks and full-service offerings, which combine to make Water Park a dynamic destination. Whether coming for a meal, attending one of its many events and programs, or just relaxing outside with friends, Water Park has quickly become a favorite gathering place for the entire community.”
Water Park offers a diverse range of culinary experiences, from local favorites to innovative newcomers. With two full-service restaurants and a collection of grab-and-go food stalls, Water Park is the ideal spot to meet friends for lunch, enjoy happy hour with coworkers, or celebrate in style. The addition of Call Your Mother to Water Park builds on JBG SMITH’s vision of creating vibrant gathering spaces in National Landing.
