Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
Liz raved about the seasonal goodness of Table, the restaurant where she had made a reservation during out visit. The menu is farm to table, and it felt like the table we were seated at upstairs was in the middle of someone’s living room. I was immediately comfortable. Bring on the food. The menus were…

In New York, diners are both common and cherished. In DC, they’re not so prevalent, so I was happy to discover The Diner in Liz’s Adams Morgan neighborhood. Everybody needs a 24 hour diner experience and I’m happy I was staying right around the corner from one AND that it happened to be a better diner…

I have FULLY bought into the current poke craze. I love that you can basically get sushi at a fraction of the price. As long as the quality remains high, I’m never giving up on this trend. I am pretty loyal to my local spot, Sons of Thunder. First, it’s literally around the corner from…

A boozy brunch felt like it was necessary, so Rebekah, Lindsay, and I hit up Crooked Knife (14th Street location, between 7th and 8th) for some mimosas and good convo over the weekend. There’s a mish mash of furniture at Crooked Knife. There are Victorian couches in the front, burlap covered banquettes in the back,…

Part of the fun of enjoying a meal is dressing for it. The right outfit sets the mood. I think the food just tastes better when I’m dressed appropriately for the occation. My ensemble for a night out with the girls is very different from the one I would wear to a Sunday boozy brunch.…

Once again I have to say: I love NYC in the summer! Rosemary’s is always packed for brunch, but because all the trendy West Village brunchers skeedaddled to the Hamptons for the weekend, we were able to walk right in on Sunday. There was still a steady stream of people and nearly every table was…
