I finally bit the bullet, and got in the cold, outdoor line for Miracle on 7th Street. Fifty minutes later, my group got in. While I’m normally not one for the cold, I’d say it was definitely worth the pain. No other place in DC has Christmas spirit quite like […]
Now maybe I’m being a diva, but I am getting so sick of bottomless brunches with horrible quality food. If I’m going to eat out, I don’t want it to be an absolute waste of my money. So let’s make a pact to eat GOOD brunches from now on, ok? […]
The 22nd Annual Critics’ Choice Awards were this weekend and the blue carpet was full of fashion. The big winner of the night was the new musical La La Land, but not all of the style choices were as successful. Here is a look at the biggest hits and misses of the […]
I’m going to keep this short simple: VIRGINIA IS NOT THAT FAR AWAY. Hop in an uber, grab a car, or metro across the river (heck you can even bike), and you will expand your dining options ten-fold…And then you will be disappointed that you didn’t do it sooner. Of […]

Whether you’re hosting the meal, bringing a side dish, baking dessert, or mixing cocktails, you will benefit from the information that follows.

Boy, was I spoiled last week. Not only did I have the unbelievable pleasure of meeting artist Robin Hill, I also enjoyed the newest fall menu additions at the Fairfax Hotel Grille & Lounge. Let’s start with the art. Australian artist Robin Hill is represented by Studio E Partners, a […]
Many parents say to their children, “you can be whatever you want to be when you grow up” (And no, I am not trying to start some political reference, but just go with it). Well if Erik Bruner-Yang (chef and restauratuer) is the parent, then Maketto is the child. Maketto is […]
Attention, world: I am getting married. Keep your shirt on, the engagement was last Christmas, and I already assaulted the internet with social media announcements. But last week there was a VERY exciting development – I bought my wedding dress! I will be a wearing a custom Modern Trousseau gown by designer […]
Sally’s Middle Name was nothing like I expected. Not because I had low expectations, but because it blew me out of the water. Seriously, every aspect of my evening was so thoughtful and creative. From the drinks to dinner to dessert to the service, it was exceptional. Why did I […]
