Astro Doughnuts: A Review

February 19, 2014 by anc49

Disclaimer: this review actually comes from a recent Dean & DeLuca outing, where they so happen to sell Astro Doughnuts. I have not (yet) been to Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken, but plan on a visit in the near future (to sample all vegetarian options). While running some errands on M (a favorite hobby of mine), my friends and I stopped by D&D for a snack and, naturally, I gravitated to the pastries section. A little while ago I read […]

Kafè Leopold: A Review

February 18, 2014 by anc49

Behold, Kafè Leopold: one of Georgetown’s finest gems and loveliest eateries. This Austrian café, or “kafè” to maintain the authentic European flair, is renowned for its incredible pastries, delicious brunch, divine espresso drinks, and varied lunch/dinner options. Is there anything that Kafè Leopold can’t do?! I have been thrice: once for a brioche bread (oh my goodness), once for a hot latte and yogurt parfait with granola/berries (I’ve never experienced parfaits in the quite the same way), and once for […]

PAUL: A Second Review

February 17, 2014 by anc49

Before I begin my praise for PAUL’s pastries and this apple tart’s splendor, I will apologize for my recent paucity of posts. It’s midterm season here at Georgetown and my studying has demanded more time than I’d like to spend. The good news is that I’m returning with a review of ONE OF THE BEST TARTS I HAVE EVER CONSUMED. MY, OH MY. My last review of PAUL covered a bisque and a croissant, which were both delicious, but this one […]

Mai Thai: A Review

January 26, 2014 by anc49

My friends and I carry a tradition of going out to dinner in Georgetown for each other’s birthdays. Last year I went to Peacock Café and loved it, but I wanted to go somewhere new. Although I had been to Mai Thai before, I wanted to go again and knew it’s a crowd favorite. Name: Mai Thai Location: 3251 Prospect Street NW (Washington, D.C.) Time: 7:30 pm on Friday (with a reservation) Order: Philadelphia Roll ($5.95) and brown rice side […]

‘Like Crazy’: A Movie Review

January 25, 2014 by anc49

Photo Credit: Grizzly Bomb Disclaimer: This is not a review full of spoilers. Here I will only offer my thoughts and recommend it based on certain criteria. You must watch the movie for yourself and enjoy it in all of its pure, unfiltered, brand new glory. Before I saw it about two weeks ago, I had wanted to see Like Crazy for what felt like the longest time. Ever since the poignant, artistic, and intriguing trailer, the movie’s been on my running “To […]
