DC, much like like the rest of the world, places a premium on room. Spacious interior seating, plenty of bar stools, and most importantly – especially during the warmer months – outdoor seating. Enter Mission Restaurant in the popular Dupont Circle corridor. Spacious interior with two, that’s right, two bars: […]
It’s Spring, finally! This means flowers are blooming, the Nationals are playing, interns are starting, and restaurants are adding some new dishes to their menus. Some are new, some are classic, but here are six DC dishes we are in love with right now and you should be too. 1. […]
We are a cult culture. Be it throwback fashion with a nod to Mallrats, cliche food trucks, or 1950s style diner food being revamped, we like and thrive off all things niche. Enter Daikaya & ramen. This isn’t the three-for-one-dollar ramen packs you ate in college. Well, it is, and […]
If you have never heard of Duke’s Grocery, shame on you and let me help you. If you have heard of Duke’s Grocery but have never been, you are missing out on some seriously delicious food made with love, high quality ingredients, served in an atmosphere that is vibrant, full […]
Oh, that’s right, Amsterdam Falafelshop is coming to 1830 14th Street NW on March 23rd. Late-night party goers rejoice, sound the trumpets, and get your gyro on. Just try and behave yourself at 3am okay? Washington Post has more: Falafel and frites will become a late-night stop for 14th Street […]
Forget what you thought you knew about luxurious dining in DC (and Tom Sietsema’s first review of the place – his second one is better) and make sure to head to The Grill Room at the luxurious Capella Hotel in Georgetown the next time you want to treat yourself. Chef […]

So, I was going to Rockville, MD because there was this free session on Transcendental Meditation and I wanted to check it out because apparently it works. Anyway, I didn’t want to go alone because leaving DC for any local suburb could cause panic attacks and I was driving. My […]
Ashok Bajaj can do no wrong. I’ll say that again; the India-born DC restaurateur Ashok can do no wrong. Don’t take my word for it. The New York Times recently said of Ashok: Today Mr. Bajaj, though not widely known outside the district, is arguably the most successful restaurateur in […]
Admittedly it has taken me a while to get to Ghibellina, ok, a long while. This fact may seem odd given that it’s within three blocks of where I live. However I must confess…it was on purpose. I love Italian food. My mother’s side of the family is all Italian […]
If you’re seeking hearty, comforting Italian food in DC, look no further than Elisir. Located just off Pennsylvania Avenue NW on 11th Street, Elisir is perfect for lunch over a bowl of pasta, or grabbing a quick bite over drinks with friends after work. The portions are large and the […]
