It was a week in which newcomers — the theme of this year’s Best of D.C. issue — also dominated the Y&H blog. The Queen’s upcoming appearance on H Street NE (The Queen Vic, that is) drew most of the attention, as is proper, but the reigning royalty of sandwich-making, Taylor Gourmet, was not far behind, with news of its third location in Bethesda.

Take a look at your favorites from last week:
