Pancake fans in NW can now get their fix. The much-anticipated IHOP in Columbia Heights opened its doors at 8am this morning in the DC USA development. Those pining for New York cheesecake pancakes, the Split Decision Breakfast or a Take Two Combo can visit the establishment between 7am and 11pm until November 26th. From then on, the restaurant will be open 24 hours a day.

The Washington Post reports that starting next month, Megabus will launch ten new routes from its base at 10th and H Streets NW. The discount, double-decker bus will start offering trips to Richmond, Knoxville, Raleigh, Boston, Buffalo, Charlotte, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh and Toronto. No Brooklyn service yet, though.

In what is the best parody that we have seen in some time, Flick user Evan Hensleigh has created some hilarious faux-ads for the WMATA. Our favorite is above.
