Cuba Libre Revisited
As I was enroute to Cuba Libre restaurant in DC, I was thinking of all the negative comments I heard from friends about this restaurant. Naturally, my expectations were low as I walked into the restaurant. I walk in and clearly see great effort has gone into the interior design with […]
Go to Astro Doughnuts!
Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken (But Really, Just Doughnuts) Astro Doughnuts and Fried Chicken creates huge flavors in a very small space.
