PS7′s Restaurant
PS7′s Restaurant (the name comes from a combination of the owner/head chef Peter Smith and the address at 777 I St NW) has made a name for itself as being one of the haute coutre restaurants and bar scenes in DC in the recent years. The very name of the restaurant has evoked a very [...]
Crepes-a-Go-Go
Crepe shops have been popping up everywhere in the District since our trip to Paris, whether a simple matter of good timing, or zee Frenchies following us back home, neither Jen or I am are complaining. That was one of the great simple pleasures about Paris- fast food that was prepared right in front of [...]
The Bombay Club
The Bombay Club is nestled comfortably along the K street corridor, easily going unnoticed unless you were specifically looking for the establishment. I have probably walked by it more times than I could count on both hands, but it just doesn’t exude a presence from the outside. Once inside, however, you’re treated to something that [...]
Blue Moon Diner
Blue Moon Diner is much like one of the first girls you kissed in high school – unpretentious, fun, and filled with all sorts of liquor. By day, it serves as a local trough for the masses, with the four hallmarks of any good diner worth its salt : a kitchen half obscured by two [...]
Paleo-A-Go-Go
Most of us in the professional world are constantly on the go, so it’s reasonable that having the luxury of making a Paleo or Zone meal on the spot isn’t necessarily the most reasonable thing in life. So what if you’re trying to start up on Paleo, and don’t even know where to begin? The [...]
Anatolia Mediterranean Cuisine
Anatolia is a Mediterranean restaurant just off of Restaurant Row in Orlando. The menu boasts a variety of dishes, with plentiful vegan and vegetarian options, which is a rare treat for non-meat eaters and omnivores alike. Lunch specials appear on the menu there, but not online- which is a shame, because these really are a [...]
The Original Pancake House
The Original Pancake House is a chain of diners with locations all over the country. These diners are in the same vein as IHOP, but the primary focus at TOPH is without a doubt, pancakes, and lots of them. The variety extends not only to unique creations such as the Bacon Pancakes or Georgia Pecan [...]
Paleo Chicken Noodle Soup
During the winter months, it’s easy to catch a cold and feel absolutely miserable for days. One of the best natural remedies that comes to mind is (thanks to heavy advertising on Campbell’s part) nothing more than a simple bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup. But most of us are grown-ups, and a mass produced 80 [...]
Ping Pong Dim Sum
Ping Pong is just two blocks north of the Chinatown/Gallery Place Metro on the Red line, close enough to still be considered a part of Chinatown DC proper. If you’re not entirely sure of this fact, look across the street. Even the Hooters has Chinese script on their sign out front. Have you ever seen [...]
Best-ever Veggie Burgers from Northstar Café
Not being a devout vegetarian myself, I wasn’t quite sure how well this recipe, and even Jen had her reservations as I was making it for dinner the other night. It primarily consists of onions, beets, brown rice and beans. So how does that really stand up to being a burger substitute? Pretty well, actually. [...]
