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 […]

Spice Up Your Night (and Life) at Alfie’s…before it’s gone!
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 […]
What to Drink on National Tequila Day
National Tequila Day – the perfect excuse to drink everyone’s favorite Mexican spirit on a Sunday.

B Burger Bar – D.C.’s ‘Plan A’
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 […]
The Short List: DC Weekend Happy Hours
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 […]
DC ‘Wich Hunt: An Ode to Amsterdam Falafel
It’s 2 AM and the bar is announcing final call.
