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 […]
You may think you know your way around a sleeve of Thin Mints, but a trip to The Black Squirrel this weekend (and this weekend only) may have you thinking differently. For the 2nd year, the Adams Morgan-based beer hall is taking an already perfect food-stuff (Girl Scout Cookies) and […]
One of my favorite breakfast/brunch staples is the frittata – a fluffy egg pie that can be stuffed with any ingredient combination you can dream up. Forget making omelettes to order or poaching eggs for a crowd, just pop this baby in the oven and get your mimosa on with […]
No, Dorothy, we are definitely not in Kansas anymore. Havana is a vibrant city that seems to be perpetually caught between its revolutionary past and its seemingly uncharted future. It is a city of contrasts, which can be found in nearly every interaction or experience, making Havana all the more […]
Bucatini all’Amatriciana is one of my absolute favorite pasta dishes. This sauce gets its unique flavor from a combination of chili flake, black pepper and Guanciale, an Italian cured meat made from pork jowl. I like to buy my Italian specialty ingredients from A. Litteri, but feel free to substitute […]
Don’t deny it: you go through at least one case of La Croix each week, but if you’re really being honest with yourself, it’s more like two or three. And everyone you know has their go-to flavor about which they are way more passionate than they should be. You’ve seen relationships […]
Ah goulash. I discovered it on an insanely cold November night in Budapest. Basically, it’s the Hungarian version of beef stew, seasoned with a whole bunch of paprika. Recently, a friend of mine and I were feeling nostalgic while watching the Budapest episode of Anthony Bourdain’s “Parts Unknown” and decided […]
Looking for something to do away from the busy streets of DC? Take a trip to Middleburg, VA and check out the luxury of Salamander Resort & Spa. Located on 340 picturesque acres, Salamander has something for everyone. Whether it’s a couples massage, treetop ziplining, equestrian experiences or a five-star […]
The Screen Actors Guild Awards or “SAG’s” were this weekend and the red carpet looks were BOLD! Part of me is excited that actors are taking risks and part of me is distraught that THESE were some of the risks they took! When I told you that the Golden Globes were a sign of […]
Do you like lobster? There are a lot of good places to get lobster in the Washington, DC area….but you should ignore all of them and head to Fiola. Having recently been awarded a Michelin Star didn’t change a thing about what many consider the best lobster dishes in the […]
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 […]
Now that inauguration week is over, we can finally return to our regularly scheduled “receptioning” season. No better way to kick that off than with The [annual] Washington Auto Show! Here until February 5th, you have almost a week left to check it out. Kindly invited by GM/Chevrolet team to attend, I […]
