Fall is the best season. Boots are the best shoes. Spiked hot chocolate is better than regular hot chocolate. These are facts. If I had it my way, we would skip directly from May to mid-September every year. So I am just about jumping out of my fleece-lined leggings and […]
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. […]
From the creative team that brought you Red Apron Butchery and the Partisan comes their new and swanky Barracks Row spot, Eatbar. Just a block from the Eastern Market metro stop is your next stop for after work drinks, noms, and yes, great happy hour deals. Intimate and trendy, yet laid […]
You may have heard that the Amorphallus titanum, also known as the Corpse Flower, is in full bloom at the United States Botanic Garden as we speak. This giant, seven foot flower gets its pet name from the pungent scent it gives off during this 24-48 hour bloom period. Described as a […]
I recently started a new job. Even though our headquarters is in a regular office building in California, all peripheral offices are set up in “business incubators,” including our office in DC. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the concept, an incubator is a company that provides affordable […]
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 […]
Tucked away in the truck delivery streets of Union Market is an oasis unlike any other in the area. Easily one of [if not THE] elite Italian restaurant(s) in DC, Masseria is a must on your restaurant bucket list. From 3 to 6 course tastings, you can personalize your meal […]
For Washingtonians, especially those who work downtown, BLT Steak means one thing – popovers. Warm, buttery, fluffy; they really are the bread of the gods. The constant praise bestowed upon the popovers, however, sometimes overshadows BLT’s other marvelous menu items. That may not be the case for long though thanks […]
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 […]
Have you heard? Gusto Italian Grill is serving up fast casual Italian in Bethesda and Silver Spring! I am shamelessly content in my NW DC bubble, but lately I’ve been really trying to branch out to other neighborhoods and (gasp!) even hop the metro to explore more of the DMV […]
Originally posted in June 2016, re-posted due to the recent Michelin Star award. There’s a reason Jeremiah Langhorne’s farm-to-table restaurant The Dabney, tucked away Shaw’s Blagden Alley, has quickly risen to not only the talk of the town, but to major food critics and culinary publication’s radars. It’s likely part of the same nostalgia you […]
