Hungry Lobbyist readers may recall our April trek to Merrifield, VA to sample TRIO Grill’s spring menu. We’re at it again this summer with another sampling of their summer plates. Per usual, this NoVa gem did not disappoint. On a quiet Monday evening (which is half-priced wine night, by the way), […]
This Saturday, August 6, Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. is hosting the ultimate music, food and arts festival to commemorate its second year in business. Aptly named Biscuit Jam DC, it’s a full day of activities and food at the Industrious Real Estate Warehouse located at 1900 Kendall Street NE in […]
Burgers and beers. What could be more American? After two weeks of conventions and a very humid DC, we all deserve a juicy, mouth watering burger and an ice cold beer. Lucky for us, the Washingtonian’s “Bud & Burger Battle” is here and we the people get to witness the […]
Last Wednesday, the glamorous and notorious Q Street Mansion granted guests a preview of the soon-to-open Service Bar DC (SBDC), coming to U Street later this month.

I recently started a new job. Even though our headquarters is in a regular office building in California, all peripheral offices are set up in “business incubators,” including our office in DC. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the concept, an incubator is a company that provides affordable […]
When I say I just had the best Thai meal in the city, I am not exaggerating. A little further north, not too far from the Petworth metro, is Alex McCoy’s prized pop-up restaurant, Alfie’s. Inspired by his own trip to Thailand, Alfie’s focuses on Northern and Isaan Thai street […]
The month of July often feels like one big, freedom-fueled bash – especially if you live in Washington, D.C. Not only did our great nation tell Britain to ‘back off’ on the 4th, but other nations also claimed their own independence around this time. As the capitol city of the Great American Melting […]

In celebration of this very important holiday, I set out to find DC’s best tequila and mezcal cocktails. Mission I had to include at least one margarita on the list, it would be wrong not to.
