For someone who hates the cold, winter is not a thrilling season for me. I often dread the idea of getting out of bed during the December chill, months in advance. However, my mind may have changed this past Tuesday when I attended the Grand Opening of the Moncler Boutique […]
I’ve passed The Oceanaire Seafood Room hundreds of times in the eight years that the District has been my home. On Wednesday, I finally took the plunge. My fiancé had just come back from a business trip to New York and was barely off the train when I announced the […]
THIS IS NOT A DRILL. There’s a brand spankin’ new distillery on 14th and U Street and it is a game changer. At a private media preview on Tuesday, I had the good fortune of meeting the gracious staff and head distiller of District Distilling Co., DC’s first distillery/pub combo. […]
Last Wednesday, the glamorous and notorious Q Street Mansion granted guests a preview of the soon-to-open Service Bar DC (SBDC), coming to U Street later this month. Service Bar is a concept brought to life by longtime DC restaurateurs Chris Willoughby, Chad Spangler, and Glendon Hartley. Chris was the owner […]

My first taste of sparkling alcohol was André Peach Moscato in a convenience store in Foggy Bottom – far from Nuit du Champagne! I know. But trust me, it was a great night. Fortunately, my palate has matured since then, which is why I was thrilled to get a firsthand glimpse […]
Looking for something quick and red-white-and-blueish to throw together for your Fourth of July party? Never fear, shortcake is here. I wanted to make a patriotic dessert for America’s big day, but making a rectangular cake and plopping fruit on it in a flag pattern has somehow lost its charm. […]
The skies were clear and the champagne was flowing on Saturday night as VIDA Fitness celebrated its 10 Year Diamond Anniversary at the U Street Penthouse Pool & Lounge. Ten years ago in June, the very first VIDA Fitness opened its doors in Gallery Place. Now, fitness lovers can choose […]
Many long time DC party goers know who Frank Manganello is. He’s the guy who never almost never kicked you out of Pearl Dive, the 14th Street NW popular gathering place for oysters and great happy hours. And then the folks at The Dabney were lucky enough to have Frank […]
The offer came in. You signed the letter. You gave your two weeks. And to boot, you have time off that coincides with warm weather. Welcome to funemployment, my friend. (Queue victory dance.) Maybe you have a eurotrip on the books, or perhaps you’re headed home for some down time […]
