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 […]
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 […]
In a city filled with nonstop happy hours, it’s easy to prioritize Christmas cocktails over cocoas. During the week of National Cocoa Day, however, it’s time to change that. HungryLobbyist.com partnered with four made-in-DC sweet treats (as well as bottles of bourbon cream, straight bourbon and coconut rum) to bring you […]

I don’t really go on vacation. It’s not that I don’t want to. I have that same laundry list of reasons most of us have: job doesn’t involve travel, grad school, full time job, no car, strapped for cash. My apartment doesn’t allow pets, but if it did, I’d have […]
Daylight savings time was Sunday, meaning it gets darker earlier and Washingtonians hastily retreat home instead of lingering on rooftop bars in the evening sunlight. Need a nudge to continue interacting with humanity? It’s time to venture to Mason Social. Tucked away in Alexandria’s upcoming Parker Grey neighborhood, Mason Social is bringing […]
For the Hungry Lobbyist team, October has been Eatober, jam-packed with fall menus, tastings and festivals. Although the month is nearly over, it never hurts for a foodie to start planning a scrumptious schedule for 2016. The two October events that must be on a DMV food calendar? Taste of DC and […]
In previous posts, I emphasized how Washington is the ideal home away from home. So many people here proudly hail from diverse backgrounds, often bringing the tastes of their native region with them. Whether you’re a Spanish ex-pat missing tasty tapas, or a native Washingtonian seeking to expand your culinary horizons, […]
