Estadio
Estadio, a Spanish themed restaurant now open near Logan Circle, is the latest establishment from the same owner of Proof in Penn Quarter/Chinatown. The restaurant mimics eating in Spain to the most minute details, from the replays of famous Futball games on the widescreen televisions at the bar, the cured Jamon Serrano hanging from the [...]
2Amy’s Pizza
2Amy’s neighborhood just isn’t the typical place I’d find myself hanging out in DC. It’s in Northwest, but it’s pretty up there as far as NW DC addresses go. Idaho Ave? I didn’t even know there WAS an Idaho Ave in this city. This all goes out the window, of course, if you’re a student [...]
Sushi Taro
DC is full of neighborhood gem type sushi restaurants, but none stand out in the Dupont Circle area quite like Sushi Taro. Well, not in the physical sense, at least. The restaurant can barely be seen by pedestrians on the street, its sign dwarfed by the CVS pharmacy that makes up the majority of the [...]
Social
Columbia Heights is quite the clash of cultures these days. The streets are filled with hoodrats, latino workers, hipsters, and well, the other people who live there. It’s one of the few areas in Northwest DC where you can pick up kitschy photo frames from Target on one block, and get shot or stabbed on [...]
Co Co Sala
Co Co Sala is a hotspot among the sweet-toothed night owls, and I’m not talking about the sparkly cast of the Twilight series. The restaurant focuses on small dishes that really explore all corners of your sense of taste. The restaurant offers a 3 course and 5 course tasting dessert menu, but you should expect [...]
Founding Farmers
Founding Farmers is another restaurant owned by the same group that operate Agraria Farmers and Fishers in Georgetown. The restaurant uses the same reclaimed olde timey milk bottles for their water and same emphasis on fresh, wholesome ingredients, and the same contemporary-yet-rural design throughout the restaurant, which really like. Just a couple blocks away from [...]
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. We almost passed by the restaurant twice in our search for the place, with a tiny awning just above the front door barely proclaiming its existence, squelched to barely [...]
The Return to PS7′s
On our last visit to the restaurant, Jen and I had a less than positive experience at PS7′s. I won’t rehash all the sordid details, but you can read about our Restaurant Week (RW) visit here. Fast forward a couple months to the present date, and we still were holding on to a coupon that we [...]
Zentan
DC’s streets run in a grid. There are four quadrants, NW, NE, SW, and SE, which all extend from the Capitol at the center. Numbered streets run North to South outward from the center, and letter streets run West to East from the center. State streets, for all understanding, have absolutely no rhyme or reason [...]
