A beautiful, low-humidty evening usually calls for a glass of wine outside and we couldn’t find a better place to do so than Tyber Creek.

Duck Duck Goose (Caution, Fowl Imagery)
Bonjour, brasserie délicieux. We don’t usually make our way to Bethesda (nothing against Bethesda, just simply lazy). So when we discovered an adorable looking French brasserie (one of Haley’s favorite food genres) named Duck Duck Goose (like Alli’s IG handle, @tucktuckgoose9), we thought it was a sign from above.

Pinstripes Pike & Rose: A Strikingly Good Time
Do you remember going to bowling alleys as kids? I remember it being sticky floors and chicken fingers that were still cold in the middle. As an 8-year-old these things didn’t affect me much. I assumed that this was part of the “bowling alley experience.” However, now I am older […]

Defy the Stereotype: Drink #RoséAllDay All Year
It’s almost the season again for those three magic words: rosé all day. Or, as Chateau d’Esclans winemaker Paul Chevalier taught us, there’s no right or wrong season for the increasingly popular drink. In his words “You drink champagne in winter, right? Why not rosé?”. As a big fan of rosé in the summer […]
