Toro Toro: Come for the Meat, Stay for Dessert

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 […]
