Buzzing in and around Washington D.C. and pretty much everywhere else.
Last night my friend Lara and I had an amazing Thai dinner at Thai X-ing on U Street. Lara had been dying to go there, while I had never even heard of it. However as soon as I mentioned to folks that I was going to eat dinner here I heard nothing but incredible things about this restaurant.
The rave reviews were spot on. [Read more…]
And…you thought I had forgotten my “date night” posts! To be fair to Tommy we’ve probably had several impromptu date nights since our last OFFICIAL date night in August at Chefs Behind Bars, but we started the official date night train again last night. 🙂 [Read more…]
1) It was my mama’s birthday on Friday last week! She, Tommy, several of her friends, and I had a lovely birthday dinner in her honor at Kapnos. YUM. [Read more…]
1) Tommy and I tried another restaurant in our hood, Neptune’s Seafood Pub (less than 5 minutes away from our house). We found another keeper! I ordered the seafood pasta where they were incredibly liberal with the amount of shrimp, scallops, and mussels served over the pasta. Â It was yummy. I did snap a picture of my meal, but accidentally deleted it several days later, whomp whomp. [Read more…]
1) We went to Fogo de Chao to celebrate Tommy’s big promotion at work this weekend. [Read more…]
I think Lincoln does a pretty good happy hour. [Read more…]
My good friend Tiffany is in town and Tommy and I were fortunate to be able to have a lovely dinner with Tiffany and her parents last night at a newish restaurant, Nopa Kitchen + Bar in Gallery Place. Not only were we catching up with amazing people, but we had a birthday to celebrate – Tiffany’s! [Read more…]
Yesterday I met my friend Lindsay for drinks and nibbles at an old haunt of mine, the Bottom Line.
I used to frequent this bar, oh, back in 07/08 regularly because I was on a kickball team with several really dear friends of mine (two of whom left me for Nebraska and Hawaii -sigh) and the Bottom Line was our dedicated bar to go to after the kickball game was over to eat and play flip-cup for hours on end.

Yesterday I decided to try out one of two new restaurants at Yards Park that have the privilege of facing the waterfront, Agua 301. Agua 301 proclaims to be “modern Mexican” and specifically states that it isn’t Tex Mex, which I found funny.
Well for a “Modern Mexican” place, I thought Agua 301 was one of the better Mexican places in town. [Read more…]
Happy Friday folks!
Fellow DC-ers, anyone else thought that we’d for sure get a snow day today because, oh I don’t know, it actually snowed?! [Read more…]
