Urbana
The Kimpton boutique hotels can be found scattered all over DC and the surrounding suburbs. It’s likely that you might have seen one of their hotels and not known it belongs to the Kimpton empire. Hotel Helix. Hotel Rouge. The Topaz Hotel. Hotel Monaco. Hotel Palomar. I’ve long been impressed with their locations and accommodations [...]
Aditi Indian Cuisine
Jen and I had to really keep an eye out in trying to find Aditi at night. The evening air was electric with life in Georgetown.

Jen and I stopped by downtown San Francisco for lunch on a layover, and we made a beeline straight for one of her favorite Mexican places in the city – Colibri Mexican Bistro.
