Two words: Spicy. Meatballs. If these words caught your attention, then read on and start getting hungry. Roti, has just launched its newest menu item that is full of flavor, protein, and deliciousness – The Spicy Meatballs. And the best part (well at least for me and my gluten-free friends, […]
I’ve always loved the movies and spent the majority of my formidable years in theaters, a side effect of being an only child with a highly active imagination. The smell of popcorn, the scratchy polyester seats, and the anticipation when the lights begin to dim – the movies were and […]
Ugh, don’t you just hate beautiful scenery, awesome food, and historic AF pubs. Us too. For some reason Old Town Alexandria was ranked one of the best downtowns in America. People seem be under the impression that Old Town it’s charming, but it is oh so drab. For starters, the […]
This past weekend I decided to take a trip down to the National Harbor for dinner. The Old Hickory Steakhouse has a new February menu and they wanted us to preview the new dishes and wine pairings. As a DC local, I have sadly not spent much time in the National […]
The 22nd Annual Critics’ Choice Awards were this weekend and the blue carpet was full of fashion. The big winner of the night was the new musical La La Land, but not all of the style choices were as successful. Here is a look at the biggest hits and misses of the […]

We were recently invited to check out Richard Sandoval’s “pan Latin steakhouse” Toro Toro in the heart of downtown Washington, DC. The atmosphere is lounge-esq without being too loud or clubby, which is often a problem with central downtown DC places trying to standout. The decor is very Latin steakhouse: […]
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 […]
It’s 2 AM and the bar is announcing final call. There’s a group of PhD students on your right debating the patriarchal undercurrents of Drake lyrics (conclusion: Hotline Bling is a “highly misogynistic, though overall catchy musical narrative that adeptly depicts the dynamics of modern romance”) and a lone chick […]
