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 […]
In a truly shocking turn of events, the weather gods smiled down upon the District for Memorial Day Weekend. I spent a breezy Sunday morning exploring neighborhoods all over DC, stopping only for an iced coffee and a few farmer’s market purchases. We weren’t about to waste the sunshine sitting […]
It’s party season, folks. Whether you’re throwing a Derby bash, planning a Memorial Day porch party, or raising a glass to a new graduate, you should have a few go-to appetizers that will stand out and have guests swooning time and time again. When I host, I try to choose […]
It’s the last month of graduate school. All your deadlines are coming up and the world is caving in upon you. There’s no way you will get all this done in time. It’s the weekend before your papers are due. In a sense, you’ve made some progress, but in another […]

As soon as I flipped my calendar on the morning of March 1, I had a good feeling. You can sense it in the air; we are slowly inching our way towards warmer months. Spring is arguably DC’s best season: slushy sidewalks are a thing of the past, humidity has […]
The U-Street Corridor got a lot spicier in this month thanks to Bazaar Spices, Washington’s first locally-owned and operated gourmet spice shop. Savvy seasoning shoppers are likely familiar with Bazaar’s original location at Union Market. After seeing great success with their booth, owners Ivan and Monica expanded to a full-service […]
PSA: ATTENTION SEOUL FOOD SEEKERS – more play on words here – look no further! I jumped at the chance for this opportunity and hopped on the Red Line to NoMa (which stands for the area north of Mass Ave) Thursday evening to satisfy my never-ending craving for quality, over-abundantly […]
Elephant in the room: DC is a city of overachievers. I guess I’m not surprised. We live in one of the most (over)educated, politically-charged cities in the world.
