With the onset of Spring in the Nation’s capital, people flock to the streets and the city comes to life. Combating a nasty case of hay fever, I set out with Dean to the U Street neighborhood to check out one of the most recent DC hot spots, Policy. Policy is the brainchild of former […]

Rocklands usually makes the short list for most locals when it comes to answering the all important question of “what restaurant serves the best BBQ in DC?” Although Rocklands may not be the best around, I agree that it definitely belongs in the top five conversation and it sure has built a loyal following since […]
Matchbox
An old friend who used to live in DC was in town the other day for a few days and apparently had begun craving the Matchbox sliders as his plane landed on the tarmac so insisted I meet him at the venue, located in Chinatown. Although I had ordered takeout from Matchbox in the past […]
Indique
I decided to venture out to Cleveland Park on a particularly dull night to see if I could uncover a tasty establishment to lift my spirits. Although I arrived close to 10, the restaurant was still packed with hungry customers and with more coming through the door. Seeing the guests pile in was what sold […]
Good Stuff Eatery
The DC version of the Battle of the Burgers has recently started and after reviewing the best burger brackets, I felt incomplete (actually more like robbed) that I haven’t had the burgers at a few of the spots being considered. To remedy the situation, it’s burgers for me for the next few weeks and I […]
Locanda
Capitol Hill keeps giving me good reasons to leave my Northwest haven and head crosstown and when I heard about Locanda I decided it was time for me to once again risk getting lost (which always seems to happen when I drive into Capitol Hill) and make another trip to Southeast. You see, the search […]
Cafe Bonaparte
Cafe Bonaparte is my new favorite place to hang out. I first dropped in about a month back. I was headed back into the city from Reagan airport when a friend called and told me he was hanging out over at Bonaparte. I had heard of the restaurant/bar before and knew it was affiliated with […]
Sun Lounge
Out of the new crop of clubs that has opened in the Dupont Circle area perhaps the least heralded is Sun Lounge. Although it doesn’t currently have the same Q Score as nearby Midtown and Current Lounge, Sun Lounge delivers a high-quality product that seems to be on the rise. Cost – $$ Service – […]
Tuscana Lounge
We initially heard from Tuscana back in the Fall when they were launching but never made it over so a couple of weeks back we heard that a local promoter and friend was having a birthday party at the venue so we decided to check it out. Cost – $$ Service – A- Straight into […]
DC Noodles
The only thing that makes an Asian happier than rice is noodles. Yesterday evening, a small group of friends including Dean and myself were wandering around in the U Street, looking for somewhere to eat that did not involve more than an hour-long wait and I remembered the U Street newcomer catching my eye from […]
