Accommodations | Nebraska Breakfast
The Nebraska Breakfast is the oldest ongoing gathering of its kind on Capitol Hill. Every Wednesday morning that Congress is in session, Nebraskans visiting our nation's capital can meet and visit with their congressional delegation. The Nebraska Breakfast originated in 1943. It was the idea of United States Senator Hugh Butler, who wanted to meet informally each week to discuss legislation with other members of the Nebraska delegation. Members of the delegation began inviting guests to the weekly gathering and soon a tradition was born.
This year, the breakfast will be held in the new Capitol Visitors Center (CVC). The entrance is at 1st and East Capitol Streets, just to the east of the Capitol. The program begins at 8:00 a.m., but you are welcome to come as early as 7:30 a.m. to purchase breakfast (a la carte). There is no dress code, but please review the list of prohibited items before coming to the CVC: Click here for list.
Space is limited, so please make reservations ahead of time.
Call 202-225-4155 to make reservations for the breakfast.
