Culinary Spotlight: Kale

April 24, 2014 by anc49

Photo via Hi everyone! In today’s post I will do something new and discuss a favorite green of mine: kale! While I love reviewing restaurants, I recognize that those posts are only applicable to readers who live in my same areas: DC, NYC and Miami. So I want to reach out to everyone and write about universal foods. So now I’ll explain the reasoning behind my choice of kale. The recent kale craze isn’t unsubstantiated at all; in fact, it […]

Le Pain Quotidien: A Review

April 19, 2014 by anc49

It was only a matter of time until I reviewed Le Pain Quotidien. Scrumptious, organic French food in a charming communal table setting? That’s my heaven on earth. Plus, it’s considerably vegetarian-friendly (vegan, too). Since I first went with my Guest of a Guest editor in February, I’ve been hooked. Today’s post is about the rustic tuna & hummus tartine, but I’ve also had (and naturally loved) the bread basket (WTIH ALL OF THE DELICIOUS SPREADS, I CAN’T GET STARTED ON THEM), brioche, vegan […]

Blue Heaven: A Review

April 17, 2014 by anc49

The Keys dining review edition is back in the three part series! I’ve told you all about Alonzo’s Oyster Bar and now I’ll fill you in on Blue Heaven, a local favorite and famed eatery that’s been featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and The Best Thing I Ever Ate. My mom and I always try to sample places from either show whenever we can so this was a real treat. While Blue Heaven has incredible seafood options, I wasn’t really craving fish […]

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 […]

Farmers Fishers Bakers: A Review

January 7, 2014 by anc49

Behold, Farmers Fishers Bakers: one of my Georgetown obsessions. Right on the waterfront, it’s one of Georgetown’s gems (Kafè Leopold being another major one) and local favorites. They serve lunch/dinner, dessert, and brunch – which is my absolute favorite there. I first went last spring and experienced the Farmers Fishers Bakers brunch extravaganza: yogurt parfaits, salsa and guacamole, french toast, candied popcorn, salads galore, etc. It’s on a running to-do list of mine to go again and brunch at FFB. All of […]

The Tombs: A Review

December 28, 2013 by anc49

Behold: The Tombs, a Georgetown classic and favorite. Literally on the main campus’s edge, The Tombs was founded in 1962 and remains a popular spot for native Georgetowners, students, and tourists alike. It’s a tradition for Georgetown students to go to The Tombs at midnight when they turn 21, where they receive a stamp on their forehead and party all night. On GAAP weekend (accepted students’ weekend in the spring before your new class’s first fall semester) I went with […]

Hampton Chutney Co: A Review

August 8, 2013 by anc49

A lover of all things vegetarian, I finally stopped by Hampton Chutney Co for its potato dosas. I always saw it while shopping in SoHo or taking a different route to work but never gave it a try. So I finally did! Granted, it’s not a vegetarian place but does have a lot of meat-free options. The second I walked in, I knew I was in a good place. The clean white walls blended perfectly together with the earthy hardwood […]

Wild Ginger: A Review

August 1, 2013 by anc49

One day I had an epiphany: Wild Ginger is literally a block away from my apartment and on the list of my editor’s vegetarian recommendations. Talk about a coincidence of cuisine! Okay, that was cheesy. But I was in a pinch and wanted to try something new. So I hopped over and picked up the all-vegan Thai menu. After mulling it over quickly, I made my choices. Luckily, the woman who helped me was kind enough to accept my Amex […]
