Elephant in the room: DC is a city of overachievers. I guess I’m not surprised. We live in one of the most (over)educated, politically-charged cities in the world. Everyone is constantly sizing each other up. I’ve heard DC locals compete over having the longest commute or the worst landlord, like […]
Avocados and I have a somewhat complicated history. Our first encounter happened during a game of truth-or-dare in the 5th grade, when I bet Anthony Delmonico two gogurts and a nerd rope that he wouldn’t steal one from the lunch line and bite into it whole. Turns out, Anthony was allergic […]
Sundays in Washington just got even more fabulous thanks to Marcel’s by Robert Wiedmaier. For 17 years, this West-End staple has enthralled diners with the finest food and service. In 2016, however, the award-winning restaurant is now serving what is arguably the district’s favorite meal – brunch. For just $65 […]
Think back to a few weeks ago. January 1, 2016. How was that liver feeling? A lil’ swollen? Memory a bit fuzzy? Don’t sweat it, you were in good company. Hopefully, after you army-crawled your way from the bed to the fridge and procured the Gatorade, you curled up with […]
Tucked in a corner at the North end of DuPont Circle, you might overlook McClellan’s Retreat when making a late-night Florida Avenue trek to Adams Morgan. The façade doesn’t try to call your attention because, frankly, McClellan’s doesn’t need it. It’s been just over a year since this spot opened […]
This past fall, Washingtonians rejoiced at the opening of Red, White and Basil, an affordable, semi-fast casual Italian eatery. We say semi-fast casual because the food is quick and selected from a prix fixe menu, but also because the atmosphere isn’t too fast. The space is warm and homey, thanks […]
With the horse race season gearing up, if you’re going to be going to the races, these are 50 “potential” thoughts every girl may have: For once I’m actually excited to be awake this early on a Saturday. Let’s do this! Time for a shower beer. Damn I look good […]
Elise Stefanik is many things. The youngest woman ever elected to Congress, extremely humble with a great sense of humor, an outdoor enthusiast, someone passionate about her family and her district, and a total foodie. No, seriously. She not only loves to cook and entertain, but she also knows some […]
When it comes to burgers in Washington, B should be everyone’s Plan A – B Burger Bar, that is. Formerly known as Plan B Burger Bar, this is one of DC’s newer spots (opening in November 2014) for good beer, great booze and the greatest burger. Don’t take my word for […]
I am a born-and-bred New Englander and I love it up there, but in Massachusetts, we don’t have happy hours. I know – it’s a vile, repugnant thought. Legally, bars and restaurants in my home state cannot reduce the price of alcohol at any time for any reason, which means […]
In a city filled with nonstop happy hours, it’s easy to prioritize Christmas cocktails over cocoas. During the week of National Cocoa Day, however, it’s time to change that. HungryLobbyist.com partnered with four made-in-DC sweet treats (as well as bottles of bourbon cream, straight bourbon and coconut rum) to bring you […]
Now that the days are getting shorter and the temperatures are dropping, it’s everyone’s favorite time on the Hill: the Holiday season! Lots of time off, closed offices, and most importantly, free happy hours & receptions. Here are Hill Betch’s Seven Rules for Holiday Parties on the Hill: 1. RSVP to […]
