Buzzing in and around Washington D.C. and pretty much everywhere else.

Pappe

Last night Tammy and I went to Pappe for the first time on 14th Street for our monthly dinner. (Christina was sick – we missed you!) Pappe opened last summer in Logan Circle and we all had been eager to try this Indian food spot for awhile.

Since the weather was gorgeous yesterday, we enjoyed sitting right by the open front window where we could enjoy the breeze and watch people walking by.

Immediately upon sitting down, I settled on a delicious cocktail while Tammy and I caught up and perused the menu.

The Chilini. Definitely had a kick to it!

We settled on Vegetable Samosas for our appetizer.

So yummy.

And while Pappe isn’t a tapas restaurant at all – one can easily order their own entree, Tammy and I decided to order several dishes to try and share.

We ordered the Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, and the Punjabi Aloo Gobi (potatoes, cauliflower, and onions with spices).

Overall the food was pretty good. We loved the samosas and Chicken Tikka Masala. Tammy did think she had better Butter Chicken at other Indian restaurants, but it was still good.

I really liked the decor and ambiance of the restaurant. Despite it being in a small space, it felt airy and I loved the vibrant colors in the restaurant.

I would definitely come back here whenever I was in the mood for Indian!

Ending the Year with “Chicken and Whiskey”

This past Monday was Tammy, Christina, and my last “14th Street dinner” of the year. P.S. I can’t believe Tammy and my first dinner was in 2013!!!

We decided to check out Chicken and Whiskey, a self-described restaurant serving “Pollo a la Brasa & Latin street food”. [Read more…]

Miki’s Last 14th Street Dinner, Tear

On Wednesday night Tammy, Miki, Christina, and I dined at Barcelona in honor of Miki’s last 14th Street dinner with us. She and her sweet family are moving to the Denver area later this month. 🙁 Not to worry, whenever she is in town we’ll schedule that particular month’s dinner around her visit. You may remember we’ve eaten here before, but we let Miki choose any restaurant she wanted to go to for her last hoorah and she chose to go back here. [Read more…]

El Centro – DC

Our 14th Street Eating Tour finally brought us to El Centro last Wednesday night – YAY! (You may remember that getting this little group back to the 14th Street Corridor has been a little tricky.)

El Centro didn’t disappoint. Most of us had eaten here before – (either dinner or brunch) and we were glad to be here again. We decided to partake in happy hour because, why not? In addition to drink specials, certain food items were available for happy hour too – which we took advantage of. [Read more…]

Current Thoughts from our 14th Street Eating Tour

Tammy and I officially began our journey of a 14th Street Eating Tour on October 22, 2013 when we had dinner at Cork. Right after this dinner we enlisted Miki to join us on this culinary adventure and the next month the trio dined at Le Diplomate on November 19, 2013. Since then, we have kept up this eating tour for over a year and a half now and have dined each month at a number of restaurants along the 14th Street Corridor. I have listed all of our dining spots below, with everyone’s Top 3 Restaurants and Bottom 3 Restaurants as of now. [Read more…]

Good morning on this rainy and cold Thursday morning in the D.C. area…it’s really hard to believe that tomorrow is (allegedly) supposed to be sunny and 85 degrees with it having been rainy and cold yesterday and today. We shall see!

Last night Tammy, Miki and I decided to move our April 14th Street dinner to early this month (instead of towards the end of the month when we usually meet up for dinner) since we really don’t know when Ava will grace the world with her presence. 🙂 [Read more…]

Happy Friday folks!

I hope your day is going well. Today, like this week, has flown by for me and I, for one, am very happy it’s Friday. We have a pretty good weekend planned. Tomorrow we have an all-day childbirth class and then dinner with my mom and on Sunday Violet has a training session. then two of our friends and their dog are coming over for a play date and lunch, and then I have a bunch of errands to run (including some fun ones – but more on that later!)
