A half a year after this trend hit social media, I thought it was time I sample a Raindrop Cake. Thanks to Goldbely, you can now order crazy things like this and have them shipped directly to your door. The only thing different about this food is you have to assemble […]

Pop in to Miracle on 7th Street, the Christmas Pop-Up Bar
I finally bit the bullet, and got in the cold, outdoor line for Miracle on 7th Street. Fifty minutes later, my group got in. While I’m normally not one for the cold, I’d say it was definitely worth the pain. No other place in DC has Christmas spirit quite like […]
Whaley’s is Raising the Bar for Brunch
Now maybe I’m being a diva, but I am getting so sick of bottomless brunches with horrible quality food. If I’m going to eat out, I don’t want it to be an absolute waste of my money. So let’s make a pact to eat GOOD brunches from now on, ok? […]
A Reason to Cross the River: Evening Star Cafe
I’m going to keep this short simple: VIRGINIA IS NOT THAT FAR AWAY. Hop in an uber, grab a car, or metro across the river (heck you can even bike), and you will expand your dining options ten-fold…And then you will be disappointed that you didn’t do it sooner. Of […]
Maketto + Sweetgreen Know How to Throw a Party
Many parents say to their children, “you can be whatever you want to be when you grow up” (And no, I am not trying to start some political reference, but just go with it). Well if Erik Bruner-Yang (chef and restauratuer) is the parent, then Maketto is the child. Maketto is […]
Stop What You Are Doing, Go to Sally’s Middle Name
Sally’s Middle Name was nothing like I expected. Not because I had low expectations, but because it blew me out of the water. Seriously, every aspect of my evening was so thoughtful and creative. From the drinks to dinner to dessert to the service, it was exceptional. Why did I […]
Mythology is H Street’s Hot New Spot
Todd Luongo was doing something right when he envisioned Mythology, one of the newest restaurants on H Street. And lucky me, I had the pleasure of enjoying this magical restaurant last week. When you walk in, you are immediately in awe of the decor itself, a mythological themed oasis (I mean, […]
Bad Saint – Worth the Wait?
I arrived to Bad Saint at 3:45pm for dinner – yes, 3:45pm. And after waiting until its 5:30pm opening, I almost didn’t get a table for the first seating. Following Bon Appetit’s article that named Bad Saint the second Best New Restaurant in America, I am by no means surprised. This […]
Movie Review: The Girl on the Train is a Must See!
I had the pleasure of attending an early screening of The Girl on the Train on Wednesday evening (thanks Cloture Club)! I read the book earlier this year and I have been anxiously awaiting the movie premiere ever since. While I am always hesitant to compare a movie to the […]

From the creative team that brought you Red Apron Butchery and the Partisan comes their new and swanky Barracks Row spot, Eatbar. Just a block from the Eastern Market metro stop is your next stop for after work drinks, noms, and yes, great happy hour deals. Intimate and trendy, yet laid […]
Return of the Corpse “Stinky” Flower
You may have heard that the Amorphallus titanum, also known as the Corpse Flower, is in full bloom at the United States Botanic Garden as we speak. This giant, seven foot flower gets its pet name from the pungent scent it gives off during this 24-48 hour bloom period. Described as a […]
