The U-Street Corridor got a lot spicier in this month thanks to Bazaar Spices, Washington’s first locally-owned and operated gourmet spice shop. Savvy seasoning shoppers are likely familiar with Bazaar’s original location at Union Market. After seeing great success with their booth, owners Ivan and Monica expanded to a full-service […]
On January 1, 2015, D.C.’s drinking scene lost some luster when twice James Beard nominated Columbia Room closed due to renovations in Shaw. In most towns that could mean the doors would remain shut for quite some time, or even forever. Then again, this isn’t most towns, because most towns […]
Sundays in Washington just got even more fabulous thanks to Marcel’s by Robert Wiedmaier. For 17 years, this West-End staple has enthralled diners with the finest food and service. In 2016, however, the award-winning restaurant is now serving what is arguably the district’s favorite meal – brunch. For just $65 […]
Tucked in a corner at the North end of DuPont Circle, you might overlook McClellan’s Retreat when making a late-night Florida Avenue trek to Adams Morgan. The façade doesn’t try to call your attention because, frankly, McClellan’s doesn’t need it. It’s been just over a year since this spot opened […]
This past fall, Washingtonians rejoiced at the opening of Red, White and Basil, an affordable, semi-fast casual Italian eatery. We say semi-fast casual because the food is quick and selected from a prix fixe menu, but also because the atmosphere isn’t too fast. The space is warm and homey, thanks […]
When it comes to burgers in Washington, B should be everyone’s Plan A – B Burger Bar, that is. Formerly known as Plan B Burger Bar, this is one of DC’s newer spots (opening in November 2014) for good beer, great booze and the greatest burger. Don’t take my word for […]
In a city filled with nonstop happy hours, it’s easy to prioritize Christmas cocktails over cocoas. During the week of National Cocoa Day, however, it’s time to change that. HungryLobbyist.com partnered with four made-in-DC sweet treats (as well as bottles of bourbon cream, straight bourbon and coconut rum) to bring you […]
Just when Washingtonians (and the world) thought Shake Shack couldn’t get any better, this dynamo chain does the impossible – it gets even more delicious in December. Our team took on last week’s #ShackMeetup at Union Station for a sneak peak of this year’s mistletotally scrumptious treats. Check out what […]
Season 13 of Top Chef has been an exciting prospect for Washingtonians, as three of our very own culinary captains will be competing for this coveted title. Ahead of the premiere, we sat down with one of this season’s contenders, Chef Garret Fleming. You may remember Garret from our October […]
Washington foodies flocked to Union Market with glee this past weekend for Emporiyum on November 14 and 15. With 75+ vendors – a mix of local favorites and out-of-town eats from cities including Brooklyn, Baltimore, Raleigh and Charleston – eaters could sample small bites, order entire entrees and purchase goodies to […]
Ahhh, fall in Washington – no tourists, no humidity, no problems. It’s the best time of year to scoop up the last of the year’s farmer’s market finds, bundle up for a patio brunch in chilly (but beautifully sunny) weather and slurp up all the seasonal libations our city has […]
Daylight savings time was Sunday, meaning it gets darker earlier and Washingtonians hastily retreat home instead of lingering on rooftop bars in the evening sunlight. Need a nudge to continue interacting with humanity? It’s time to venture to Mason Social. Tucked away in Alexandria’s upcoming Parker Grey neighborhood, Mason Social is bringing […]
