New President Joe Biden is already being located in the neighborhoods of Washington, DC.
Four days after the day of the inauguration, the president attended Mass on Sunday at the Catholic Church of the Holy Trinity in Georgetown, and then his entourage made a stop at the Call Your Mother delicatessen.
Biden waved to a crowd of onlookers applauding near the bagel store on 35th and NW streets, but did not get out of the vehicle.

Call Your Mother called the president’s visit “a big Sunday surprise.”
“I’m thrilled to have an administrator again who is going to love everything DC has to offer – starting with sesame bagels !! Come back anytime, ”they said in a tweet.
The Call Your Mother team refused to say what the president and his team chose, but said that a Secret Service agent placed “a very long order”.
Hunter Biden, the president’s son, stayed at the deli window for several minutes to pick up the food, the president’s press reported.
President Barack Obama used to be seen in Washington restaurants. President Donald Trump had dinner inside the White House and at BLT Prime at the Trump International Hotel, the Associated Press reported.
Biden’s visit to the Holy Trinity marks the first time he has celebrated Mass since taking office. He often attended church as a vice president. The country’s second Catholic president was where the country’s first Catholic president, John F. Kennedy, used to go to mass.
Biden entered through the front door, where a Black Lives Matter banner was hanging on one side and a banner with a quote from Pope Francis was on the other: “We cannot tolerate or close our eyes to racism and exclusion in any way and still claim defend the sacredness of every human life. “
The president, in a brief exchange with reporters, said the service was “lovely”. Biden was accompanied to the Church by his son, Hunter, and two of his grandchildren, Finnegan and Maisy.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Friday that Biden had not yet set up a local church in the nation’s capital, but said she hoped Biden would continue to attend services regularly during his presidency.
