PSA: ATTENTION SEOUL FOOD SEEKERS – more play on words here – look no further! I jumped at the chance for this opportunity and hopped on the Red Line to NoMa (which stands for the area north of Mass Ave) Thursday evening to satisfy my never-ending craving for quality, over-abundantly […]
Avocados and I have a somewhat complicated history. Our first encounter happened during a game of truth-or-dare in the 5th grade, when I bet Anthony Delmonico two gogurts and a nerd rope that he wouldn’t steal one from the lunch line and bite into it whole. Turns out, Anthony was allergic […]
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 […]
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 […]
When we think of Thai food, our minds generally conjure images of Pad Thai (which for the sake of being in a Thai restaurant, I did end up sampling), or Panang Curry, to name a few commercialized items. What co-founders Eed and Matt Landon have done with their Thai by […]
It’s 2 AM and the bar is announcing final call. There’s a group of PhD students on your right debating the patriarchal undercurrents of Drake lyrics (conclusion: Hotline Bling is a “highly misogynistic, though overall catchy musical narrative that adeptly depicts the dynamics of modern romance”) and a lone chick […]
The Hamilton Hotel on the 14th and K Streets NW in downtown DC has recently undergone a large renovation with changes to their guest rooms, the lobby and the reason you are here, their restaurant and lounge. Named for one of America’s founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton, the 1877 built hotel […]
Locally born and raised, Chef Alex McCoy has recently been traveling through Thailand and Southeast Asia with his team sourcing ingredients and taste testing for his new restaurant Alfie’s which will open this spring in DC. Fresh off a stint on The Food Network’s Next Food Network Star, and well known […]
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 […]
Chef Cedric Maupillier, who got his start under the world renowned Michel Richard before taking the reigns at Central, then opening his own spot Mintwood Place, is now knocking our socks off with deliciously creative dishes at Convivial, in Shaw at the City Market at O complex. Opening to the […]
In previous posts, I emphasized how Washington is the ideal home away from home. So many people here proudly hail from diverse backgrounds, often bringing the tastes of their native region with them. Whether you’re a Spanish ex-pat missing tasty tapas, or a native Washingtonian seeking to expand your culinary horizons, […]
