Convivial Brunch: Seafood Lover’s Rejoice
The charming French-American food that is often as whimsical as it is delicious served at Convivial reflects the personality of it’s owner and Executive Chef Cedric Maupillier. Charming yet sincere; presenting good food with humility. A change from his first solo restaurant, Mintwood Place, the food at his Shaw hotspot feels […]
WTF Aren’t You at Woodward Table?
Large, downtown DC restaurants often don’t last long. The rent is insane, they must turn over multiple lunch, dinner…dare we say…brunch or breakfast covers (gasp) and do so with quality service, decor, and food that their smaller compatriots nestled in the nearby suburbs (Shaw comes to mind) can manage a […]

Where To Spend National Food Days in DC: January 2017
When it comes to “National [fill in food here] Day,” I’m always the last to know. I usually find out about them right as I’m leaving work and scrolling through Twitter. Suddenly I’ll notice that National Whatever Day is trending. By that time, it’s too late to plan a happy […]
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 […]
Luxury Movies and Beautiful Bread Baskets at City Perch Kitchen + Bar
Before last month, I had neither heard of the White Flint metro stop nor set foot anywhere near it. The land of Bethesda – as most downtowners know it – is confined to the second location of Georgetown Cupcake or the main strip packed with restaurants like Brickside Food and […]
