Mi Tierra Café
I went to check out Mi Tierra Cafe on a recommendation for the best Mexican food in San Antonio. The restaurant is in Market Square, just a little over a half mile from the Riverwalk that tourists such as myself usually flock to for a myriad of restaurants and bars. During the evening, there are [...]
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 [...]
Sunflower Restaurant
A wholly vegetarian restaurant is quite the exotic experience for me. I’m left at a loss of expectations before I even enter the front door. Do I need to bring my passport? Are they going to give me one of those uber-intrusive body scans, and check me for contraband weapons or meats? Do they speak [...]
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 [...]
Polish Villa
On a recent trip up to Buffalo, NY for a wedding, I was on a quest to take advantage of the strong Polish roots that have been established there. So being the food lover I am, I did a bit of research, and it turns out the place to be (according to the interwebs, and [...]
Genki Sushi
The pure novelty of automated sushi cuisine fascinates me. Machines that cut perfect sheets of rice, conveyor belts that serve as a moving feed trough, and Japanese animatronic robots that creepily sing and dance for you like in your childhood nightmares, all of these listed can be found at Genki Sushi. Well, maybe I went [...]
Pinky’s Pupu Bar & Grill
Pinky’s is just a short drive from Kailua’s beaches, and has a reputation for being the local hangout for the military. The parking lot is usually filled with trucks, trucks, and the occasional Chevy Malibu rental, much like the one we arrived in. Everything about this establishment down to the name screams out at you. [...]
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 [...]
