Shaw’s All Purpose Bottomless Brunch is Winning so Hard
What do we all hate about the over-hyped “bottomless brunch?” Slow service, weak drinks, weaker refills, and food that is just “meh” while the screaming Beckys and Chads recount their tales from the night before. It has literally become the worst thing in DC. Well, we can’t promise Becky and […]
Bombay Street Food II is bringing some serious game to the DC Indian food scene!
There are no shortage of Indian places in Washington, D.C. and it’s fairly clear there are some front runners.

And for the most part, they succeeded. Enter, Frenchy’s Naturel. After a bit of an awkward wait in their cramped entry […]
Mission Navy Yard – Solid Flavors, Big Space
Mission Navy Yard, recently opened by Frtiz Brogan and Reed Landry, boasts options and flavors as big as their space – and that’s saying something! Boasting the largest bar in DC, and a massive two story complex with a wrap around porch that makes it feel like you’re in someone’s […]
First Bite: Taylor Gourmet Hot Chicken is Legit
They’ve done it again. This week Taylor Gourmet launched a authentic Nashville hot chicken sandwich that is seriously amazing. The super crispy, double (yup, as in two) fried chicken patties are loaded the seasoning, lightly breaded, and deep fried to a golden perfection before being dunked again in their house […]

Escape the DC Heat at Embassy Row Hotel’s Rooftop Pool
It’s hot in DC. But not as hot as it’s going to get. Instead of trying to hitch a ride to Congo, or finally talking to Brad because you heard he has a sweet pool, grab your friends and head to the heart of DC, Dupont Circle, and hit up […]
