A stroll through the neighborhood and Filter coffee

November 16, 2011 My D.C.

A few weeks ago, before the big honeymoon adventure, my husband and I took our pup out for a stroll. It was such a lovely fall day.   We’ve had the best fall weather this year- a long and steady slide of temperature rather than plunging straight to winter. I’m especially happy that this allows [...]

2 Amy’s Pizza

April 17, 2011 Restaurants

Someone pointed out that it’d been a while since I’d done a restaurant review. So true. Ever since I upgraded my camera, I’ve focused mainly on recipes, allowing me to play with the camera settings, lighting, styling, etc. Plus, I felt a bit awkward about breaking out my large, clunky new equipment in a public [...]

Estadio

October 21, 2010 Food Info

So, I finally got around to trying this hip, new, little tapas place, called Estadio, that just opened up on 14th St NW in D.C. Nearly everyday, I walk by the large, sun drenched windows that reveal people inside, happily nibbling and slurping away. I long to be one of those people. So last week, [...]

Austin Food Highlights

October 2, 2010 Adventure

I’ve been debating posting these pictures for awhile now. They didn’t turn out as nicely as I had hoped and I hate to make you suffer through a string of shoddy photos (I know I hate looking at bad photography on other blogs), but the food in Austin is too amazing to go unmentioned and, [...]

My boyfriend and I recently discovered Saigon Bistro and we LOVE it! Located west of Dupont Circle, on P Street NW, Saigon Bistro offers simple Vietnamese fare, including a wide variety of pho and other noodle and rice dishes.

The Book Worm

July 8, 2010 Adventure

After several days in the bustling city of Beijing, I was in need of some quiet, relaxing down time. My friend took me to The Book Worm, a western-style coffee shop/lounge/library in the Chao Yang district of Beijing where all the servers speak english and you can get typical american, brit and aussie fare. The [...]

Food and fun in Charlotte, NC

June 26, 2010 Adventure

Last weekend, my boyfriend and I traveled down south to Charlotte, NC for an engagement party. We had a wonderful time catching up with friends and family. And of course, we dined at a few fantastic places that I highly recommend. I’ve posted highlights below. Fresh pizza and salads at Mama Ricotta’s Ahi tuna salad [...]

Rasika

May 16, 2010 Restaurants

A few weeks ago, I took my boyfriend out for dinner at Rasika to celebrate his 31st birthday. The weather in D.C. was still cool and crisp, perfect for a night of slow-cooked, comforting Indian cuisine. We had heard rave reviews of Rasika and decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. This [...]

Bourbon Steak at the Four Seasons

May 6, 2010 Restaurants

Sunday night I was invited to an event at the Kennedy Center with friends. Prior to the show, we decided on a little “pre-party” at Four Seasons restaurant Bourbon Steak. The name of the restaurant intimidated my veggie palate. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to eat anything on the menu and as a result, [...]

Valentine’s day at Founding Farmers

February 15, 2010 Restaurants

Last year, my boyfriend and I celebrated V-day here on D.C. Capitol Hill. We were not fans. The food was underwhelming for the price. But, I’m not gonna dwell on meals past. This year, we tried a new restaurant that has been all the buzz in D.C. lately. The restaurant is called Founding Farmers, located [...]
