A year and a half ago, I hiked up my britches, grabbed the $14 in my wallet, and moved to this fair city, completely and totally alone.
It was terrifying.
The #2 question people ask you in DC (after the inevitable “What do you do?”, as 99% of us are hungry hungry networking sharks out here), is “How did you end up here?”
Most people find my answer unsatisfactory, but the truth is, ever since I first set foot on these streets, I knew I wanted to live here someday. I find this city so loveable, so walkable, so smart and interesting. I love that the buildings are low, and you feel like you can breathe here. I love the river, the history, and the politics (not “Politics”, but the politics of the city itself. DC has a lot going on). I love that last night at Happy Hour, Shannon and I unexpectedly ran into a group of friends at the bar. I love the boroughs, and being familiar with them, and always knowing where I am, thanks to the grid.
DC just seemed like the logical move for me. A Masshole moves down to the dirty south (said affectionately, trust) and gets herself southernized; where do you go next? I always knew I would have to live in a city. I love New York, but it seemed just a step out of reach; a tad cold, A LOT expensive, and just a bit overwhelming for a 22 year old bartender with a BA from Chapel Hill and not a dollar to her name.
DC was the logical midpoint between my two homes, and as soon as I visited, I knew it was the right fit for me. I always thought I’d spend a year or two living in New York after DC, when I had some career history, some stability, a leg to stand on. That may or may not happen now, but either way, I’m actually fine with it.
Because I’ve fallen in love with this city. Because for the first time since leaving my parent’s house, I actually feel like I’m home.
Don’t get me wrong, it was hard at first. Strange, and expensive, and most of all, lonely. So, so goddamn LONELY. But slowly and surely, I found my way. The people and places that I love here, and now call my own. I’ve gotten to the point where I can honestly say… I Love My Life.
This weekend, the lovely cavy told me that two of her besties had moved here recently and another one was on the way, and would I be so kind as to give them some advice, some recommendations, a glimpse into the things that (I think) make this city so goshdarn fabulous to be a part of?
Being the overbearing and all-too-happy-to-impose-my-opinion-on-you kinda girl that I am, I immediately said “Of Course!”
And so, here is a list of the things I would take MY best friend to do if she had just moved to the grand ole District… and away we go.
1. Madame’s Organ in Adams Morgan. This blues bar is hands-down one of my favorite places in the city. Cozy with fun bartenders and one of the most interesting crowds I’ve come across, they have (good!) live music every night. They are packed on the weekends, but if sardine-style crowds aren’t your thing, it’s just as much fun on a Sunday or Tuesday night. Check out their calendar to see which genres of bands are playing when. You won’t be sorry you did.
2. Matchbox in Chinatown. If you’re into red meat, this place has the best goddamn sliders I’ve ever had. They must cook them in eight different kinds of fat and slather the buns with egg and butter, but it’s SO worth it. Here’s a picture from last Friday’s dinner: these are the perfectly fried and delicious onion strings that sit atop the little burgers (which I have already devoured).
They also have killer pizza (though the BEST in the city is at 2Amys, and Pizza Paradiso). If you go to Matchbox, they don’t take reservations and they are always slammed- try to get there early and be prepared to get a drink somewhere nearby first.
3. Granville Moore’s and the H Street Corridor/Atlas District. I don’t think I can rave enough about this place. Dark wood, sort of a divey atmosphere, but then the best damn food you’ve ever had, not to mention a breathtaking beer list. It’s worth the cab ride out there (and YES, you need to take a cab!), but don’t leave after Granville’s. There’s a whole strip of kickass bars there I’ve outlined in this post about the Atlas District itself. Make sure you at least make it to the Rock and Roll Hotel before heading home.
4. Cantina Marina on the SouthWEST (Thanks, Mb!) waterfront. Especially if you want to meet Hill staffers… but all kinds go here. Cheap margarita specials, great food, and open air right on the waterfront. You absolutely can’t beat it- one of my FAVORITE places to go in the summer… and where B and I went on our second date. (Not counting the first night we met, when I brought him home with me…)
5. Speaking of waterfronts, Georgetown is not to be outdone. There’s no Metro stop, but it’s walking distance from Foggy Bottom, or the Circulator bus will pick you up on K Street and take you down with a swipe of your Smartrip card. (Get one of those, by the way!) Once you’re down at the Waterfront, any of the outdoor seating will provide A+ people watching, though I’m a big fan of Tony & Joe’s and Sequoia. They are pricey, though- do yourself a favor and get to know your bartender. (Walk up and down M Street, too- the shopping there is stellar, though again- pricey.)
6. Get wasted in Adams Morgan. It’s totally cliche and way too college-y, but at least one night, you’ve GOT to get absolutely plastered on the 18th street drag known as Adams Morgan. The Reef and Bourbon are two of my favorites, (Bourbon also has a kickass brunch, btw), but you can just walk up and down 18th street and pop in wherever you like the sound of the music best. Once you’re wasted, make sure you get yourself a jumbo slice of pizza, empanadas, or a falafel… or all three. Don’t worry, you’ll find them… they’re everywhere.
7. The DC Improv. I’m a HUGE stand-up buff, and this is honestly my favorite thing to do in the city. They have kickass comedians, it’s a cozy atmosphere where you’re forced to get to know your neighbors (as you’re sitting at the same table with them), and you pay ~$20 to laugh your ass off all night. The booze don’t hurt none either. Don’t miss Harland Williams (March 26-29) or Christian Finnegan (April 1-5) if you can help it.
8. Go to a Nationals game at the spankin’ new ballpark. Who doesn’t love sitting outside, watching men in tight pants knock one out of the park with a dog in one hand and a beer in the other? Trust, you haven’t lived until you’ve seen the large-headed Presidents duke it out in the Presidents’ Race. I always root for Honest Abe, but George always seems to take the win. Get yourself some Ben’s Chili Bowl while you’re there, too- but make sure you get to the original on U Street at some point as well.
9. Walk around the Mall and, yanno, see some cultural stuff. Last Sunday was gorgeous and as I had a friend visiting from out of town, we took it upon ourselves to get a little touristy, walk around the Mall and see the sites. The museums are all along the way, too- and they’re FREE! My favorite is the National Museum of Natural History. I saw the Deep Sea 3D IMAX there and it wasn’t bad at all. Although I am five inside, so there’s that…
10. Drag queen brunch at Perry’s in Adams Morgan. This is, in fact, a drag show served with a side of brunch. And it is FABULOUS. The Washington Post does a better job of explaining it here, but basically, get in line at 10:30am and then enjoy the show. I did…
I’m leaving out a ton of stuff, too, but I’ll leave it up to my faithful DC readers to fill y’all in more with their comments. Enjoy the city, newbies… I sure have!

you’re so right: outdoor seating at the Waterfront means unbelievable people watching. like the drunk guys who stagger out of Sequoia and dare each other to jump in the Potomac. good times.
I cannot wait to actually move into the city and do all of this.
I’m a huge people watcher…and I do love my comedy.
I’ll be referring back to this blog in the summer
I went to high school in Germantown, MD, so DC was always the place we went when we wanted to party.
Georgetown in particular, holds a special place in my heart, because for some reason that was our favorite place to smoke tons of pot and then walk around at.
so it’s even more confirmed. i NEED to get my butt to DC to visit you cats.
Quick editors note: Cantina Marina is in SouthWEST (on Potomac), not SouthEAst (Anacostia). I only say this cause I work a stones throw away.
Totally agree with the drag brunch, Atlas District (under rated), and DC Improv. I would recommend the National Gallery Sculpture Garden in the summer for jazz music and in the winter for ice skating. Excellent place for people watching, which is one of my fave hobbies.
I never thought DC sounded like a very appealing place to live, but I’ve recently been reading quite a few bloggers who have moved there, and it sounds so awesome! You guys all seem to have so much fun and find the coolest things to do and see.
And holy shit, how many sliders did you eat???
Big fan of the blueberry pancakes at Eastern Market on Saturday mornings. Well worth the wait.
The food at the drag brunch is kinda craptacular and I advise folks to never go with a hangover. it is freaking LOUD.
I love the FDR Memorial at night. It is kinda…romantic.
Oooh! I learned new stuff! And dammit! I WANNA MOVE TO THE CITY
Or at least Arlington. Because yes.
Deutlich — you do not want to move to Arlington. DC is where it’s at.
LiLu — I love Matchbox’s pies, but I have to say I haven’t been impressed at all with 2Amy’s.
I liked DC when I went there a few times with the p-crew (parents and inlaws), but prolly i’m too used to the big ass cities and the noise and DC is a bit too country for a foreigner city boy lol… besides, to me, NYC is like one of those sins you can’t leave behind, like when you wank and then feel bad about it and want to stop doing it cause it’s bad in the Lord’s eyes (muahahahaha whatev, but then you do it again cause it felt good and it was needed and then stop and repent. Then the whole cycle starts over and round and round and etc…
So what was my point? uhm…
oh yeah, kinda hard to leave NY behind, once you’ve set foot in this great dirty and stinky ass city…
NYC grows on you like pubic hair too, no matter how many times you shave it.
: )
I second Mb on this one. SW is my hood, yo.
That said, how many effing sliders do you get with that many onion strings? I’ve only ever had pizza at Matchbox.
Never been to DC, but this list makes it official that I MUST go. Now about that travel $$$ thing…
Why didn’t we go to drag brunch? Never mind…we’ll save that for next time.
That picture kills me every time I look at it. I think it’s the look of overwhelming fear in your eyes.
*sniff*
This sounds so great. When I make it back to DC I should print this list and check it off one by one.
I still consider DC my hometown although we moved out to the suburbs when I was two. I’ve always enjoyed living here although sometimes I do yearn for NYC. So many people focus on the negative aspects of DC so it’s really nice to know that lots of people who move here actually like it.
My advice to anyone living here? GET A BIKE. It’s a whole world of new freedom. Seriously. Plus, then you have legitimate reasons to bitch about people, or at least drivers.
My sister and BIL used to live just outside the city and I feel like a part time DCer from all the time I spent down there with them. So with that glowing amount of “I know what I’m talking about” I have to say The Irish Times just outside of Union Station is the best Irish bar in the world! And of course, it is the ORIGINAL Kickball bar so that makes it all the better.
And of course, you have to play kickball in the shadow of the Washington Monument, nothing more DC than that.
I haven’t been to DC since right after high school, and I would love to go back. I would love to do a trip where I could do NYC, and DC, all in one week. Love both places.
DC is pretty awesome. Georgetown…how I love thee. But besides that, I’ve only ever really been to the political and historical aspects of DC. Seeing as I’m from right outside of Philadelphia, throughout my schooling, DC was always a field trip away. Such a treat for sure.
Granted. I’m partial to New York. But DC could definitely be a place I’d call home.
It’s so cute to see you transplants fall in love we our city
I would like to add that people often neglect the ‘burbs, and they really shouldn’t cause they rock. I mean, if DC were just slightly larger Arlington, Alexandria and Bethesda would all be just another neighborhood.
HAHAHAHA I would like to watch drag show. If I visit, you should be my tour guide
This is great! Sadly I haven’t done many of these things. I need to get on it! lol
You forgot to mention the zoo. I f-ing love the zoo.
I wish I even liked Halifax, but after living in two major cities for over three years (Toronto and San Francisco) it’s less a step backwards than it is a full-on tumble into the abyss.
Things I like about Halifax? The noontime cannon salute on Citadel Hill, the fact that it rhymes with “Smellafax” and the numerous haunted buildings downtown.
Enjoy your city, doll. And I hope you like the TMI Thursday post I have planned.
Looks like I’m going to have to book another trip to D.C. very soon! I love me some free museums! Have you made it to the Newseum? That’s where I got my “Trust me, I’m a reporter” T-shirt!
f.B: It never gets old. True story.
PQ: I can't wait either! I'll have to show you some of these spots
surviving myself: Gtown definitely has its benefits. You can't beat that waterfront in the summer.
brookem: YES. YES YOU DO. xoxo
Mb: Thanks love! Duly noted. I forgot about the jazz at NGSG! I can't wait for it to start this year.
SLG: Believe it or not, those onion strings were from 6 sliders. They don't mess around at Matchbox.
Miss Scorpio: It's officially on my list…
Lemmonex: I've never been. B, you reading this…? <3
Deutlich: I want you too! Hurry up already! But not Arlington…
Malnurtured Snay: Honestly, I can't imagine anything better than Matchbox's pepperoni, but I think 2AMYS is the "most recognized" as DC's best.
PorkStar: I imagine it would be hard to leave NY once you got used to it. Looking forward to your TMI tomorrow!
66: My bad! It's fixed now. And yes, they are VERRRY generous with the onion strings.
Jaxie: Come on down, the water's fine. It must be one of the cheaper trips, too… at least until the summertime.
Fearless: We will DEFINITELY do drag brunch next time. Bring your dollah bills. The AMERICAN ones.
Kim: You won't be disappointed, I promise
Cyndy: Oh, I like it. I LOVE it. And the suburbs aren't half bad, either. (Just don't tell anyone I said that.)
Marissa: And you know I love reasons to bitch…
The Dutchess: I LOVE the Irish Times. And I’ve been to many a kickball game. I’m more of a “watcher and drink beer after” than a “player”, but you get the same effect.
Kristina P: That would definitely be a trip worth splurging on.
Amanda.: The political and historical aspects are great, to be sure, but there’s so much FUN to be had as well…
Jo: Very true. If I had a car I’d probably make it out there a lot more- I hear tell of some pretty great restaurants…
insomniaclolita: Deal, my love!
Wearing Mascara: Yes you do… Girls night!
Del-V: Oh, you are so right! How could I forget Roger Williams??? I LOVE the zoo!
Racquel Valencia: Well, clearly… you should be living here. And I can’t WAIT for your TMI tomorrow!
Kate: Yes ma’am! Get yer buns down here. I haven’t made it to the Newseum yet, as it costs money and I am cheap, but I hope to soon.
Great list. You’ve definitely hit some of my highlights. I actually walk around the Mall several times a week. I’m such a dork.
This is an excellent list – I’ve yet to go to DC Improv, but I REALLY want to.
I’ve been here about a year and a half as well (including when I lived in Arlington), and you’re right – it just kinda feels like home.
I love hearing people’s stories about how they got here. Especially when it’s a leap of faith story like yours (and like mine). Making life an adventure makes it far more livable.
That place looks entirely too respectable to host a drag show. Awesome! I have to go to the bar on Sunday night to get a drag show around here.
Nice post. I’ve been in NYC for a little over 3 years now and, while I love a lot about it, I think this will be the year that I go back to Pittsburgh. I know I will miss it, but it’s just so expensive and even the smallest things can seem like struggles here. I may have to do an “I Love NY” post in this vein before I go.
Ugh, I miss it! Can’t believe you up and moved there all on your own, I envy you!
I interned there in college, and also lived in the suburbs when I was younger and my dad worked at the Pentagon. If I wasn’t so prone to homesickness, I’d move back in a heartbeat. Though, I did take my boyfriend there last April and he fell in love with the city too, so maybe someday….
Until then, I’ll just read all you D.C. bloggers and live vicariously through you.
This is the most Adams Morgan has been mentioned since he was the 2nd President of the US.
that was him right?
I’ve been to Madame’s Organ. Saw some reggae band there and some guy gave me his rastafarian hat. I gave it back.
Worst mistake of my life.
I love this post! Isn’t it great to be HOME?
Kristin: You are not a dork… the Mall is a great walk, both for sightseeing AND people watching.
Liebchen: Let me know if you’re down for either of the shows I mentioned. I definitely want to go to both!
briankainec: Absolutely it does. It was tough and I was really, REALLY broke for quite some time… but it was so worth it.
Kate: It’s a slightly upscale sushi joint during normal hours… weird, no?
BeckEye: Looking forward to it, love.
A Super Girl: You need to come back. Trust me, it’s worth it, no matter how hard it is… and we need you here!
rs27: You broke the cardinal rule! “If a stranger in a bar gives you their hat, it is yours for life.” Don’t look it up. Just trust me.
nothingfancy: It really, really is.
Holy shit that is alot of onion rings.
I went home with Beau the first night we met. Just cuddles, promise.
We were looking at other cities to maybe move to. DC popped up on Beau’s list of cities that cater to his job. Stop trying to romance me with food and booze!
Perry’s is totally happening this weekend. Thank you for changing my life.
What a great post… and blog you write! Just found it on 20 sb.
SO nice to hear of someone moving on their own to a new city and loving it. I’m still stuck in the lonely phase here in NYC…Your post gives me hope!
TCG
that is a great list!! WAY more than i expected – but i guess i shouldn’t be surprised by the awesomeness that is lilu! thanks love!!
I need to get my butt over there and so some real livin’!!!
Matt: And I’m not even an onion ring kinda gal. What a waste of golden fried goodness.
Oxen Cox: Oh, I went home with B the first night too! But also, only cuddles… wonder if it’s a secret to making it work?
And you should DEFINITELY move here! My vote counts double!
The Pumpernickel: Can I come??
TudorCityGirl: You’ll get there, love. Promise… I imagine it takes a little longer, the bigger the city, but you will!
cavy: Anything for you, my darling!
Violet: Yes you do! Get on it.
now i am crying because i dont live in dc. hate you!
p.s. i could never hate you.
bwahahaha! i love that picture of you with the onions. the very scary onions.
some great advice here lady!
Big cities freak me out (like the idea of living in NYC makes me vaguely nauseated) but I loved DC on my one and only trip there a few years ago. And I wasn’t even old enough to party. If I could get a job there, I would for sure think about moving.
I have lived here for almost a year and have only been to the monuments, a Nats game, and gotten wasted in Adam’s Morgan once. We tend not to venture far from Dupont, but hopefully with this list we will!
Great List! I’m willing to bet I’ve run into you and your crew at some point…
If DC Improv is your thing, you should definitely check out SpeakEasy DC (http://www.speakeasydc.org/). They hit the entirety of the emotional spectrum and there is usually booze around.
And Jo is right… don’t forget Silver Spring and the Quarry House, AFI, Jackies, etc….
those are some fried onions alright! You can tell when someone loves where they live, they have all sorts of cute places to go. I sure dont, and I’ve lived in the area my whole life! Should that be a sign?
You truly can’t overemphasize the feeling home bit, can you? I’m glad you’ve found it.
Funny because DC never really struck me as somewhere I’d really, really like to go, but now damn you, I think I’m going to have to.
Maxie: That’s right, you COULDN’T. End of story. Now do me a handstand!
Marie: You’re a wonderful photographer
Just A Girl: DC’s not really a big city… or at least, it doesn’t seem like it. But trust me, everything’s better when you’re old enough to party!
Jackie: Dupont’s a great hood, but there’s SO much more. Get out there, love!
[F]oxy: We probably have! I’ll definitely check out SpeakEasy.
Fizzgig: Maybe… every place has their own charms, but if you don’t love them… maybe it’s time for a change.
inkpuddle: You better! And you better look me up when you do
I haven’t found my city yet. But I’ve never been to D.C. and Madame’s website makes me think that D.C. has that potential for me. If only mountains were close by…..
You make me homesick!
Oh how I miss D.C.
Next time I go visit the in-laws I’m going to stalk you like a wildabeast and force you to Adams Morgan.
And the National History museum, by the way, is solely responsible for mothballs being the number one smell associated with my childhood. (growing up there, you go 10,000 times).
G-d I miss it.
Overall, a very good list, miss – well accomplished. I’m not big on H street, though the Rock n Roll Hotel employs a few friends and it’s where my band had our first show, so I guess I can’t hate too much.
I’m sure someone else already mentioned the sculpture garden, so I’ll take that as a given. The Uptown theater in Cleveland Park (along with Vace, which has my vote for DC’s best pizza) is great if only they’d play something decent, and the 4P’s (or whatever it’s called now) right next door is a huge bar that’s never that full for some reason.
I walked by Madam’s Organ this Friday, but I’ve only been once and it was Not My Thing. I always go to Pharmacy on that block, where the indie and punk kids go, then eat a jumbo slice while stumbling back to the Metro.
And The Saloon on U Street, right next to Ben’s Chili Bowl, is my new fave. Motto: “No martinis. No TVs. No standing.” What a neighborhood bar should be, if only that were my neighborhood.
Also, Julia’s Empenadas are kinda delectable and are worth hitting up whether you’re in Dupont or 18th street. Oh, and at least once, you should have dinner with at least six friends at Marrakesh, with the belly dancing and all. It’s good times.
Sounds like you know all the best places! If people came here, I’d be all “Oooh. I know which Pizzaria Uno has the fastest servers”.
Because I am unspeakably lame.
I’ve never been to DC… not even on the patrol trip in 5th grade! I would love to visit but now I’m afraid I’d have to stay for like a month to do all the fun stuff!! one day…
Ok, when can I come visit?
You look like a deer caught in the headlights behind that plate of onion rings…giggles…
i love that moment of contentment – when you acknowledge and accept that you really, truly love where you are at this moment in your life. right now. here. love.it.
I am so in love with DC and delighted that my daughter seems destined to move there before the year is past. I lived there for a year in, well a long time ago, but I was not a free agent. I do appreciate the travelog and hope I will be bumping into you when I come to do the town.
I was going to write a post about all of my favorite things in DC area (mostly restaurants). Matchbox would definitely be on it. I have an obsession with their pizza.
Drag Queen Brunch? Are you serious! I’ve been missing out on that my whole life? I’m pissed. My empty threat earlier this week to come visit might not be so empty anymore.
I’m going to DC next month for a few days so I’ll keep these in mind!
If I’m ever in your area, I’ll be sure to check those places out. I am all about the drag shows! LOL
this post could have been written by me but about cleveland. when i moved to cleveland 3 years ago out of the blue with only a handful of friends i had no idea what to expect, and now? it’s my home, hell i ever have a blog with the city’s title in its name. and i too truly love me life.
yay, for happiness.
Jules: Please come visit! N Carolina’s are lovely… and they’re not THAT far away.
Muppset Soul: If you come to town, I can DEFINITELY be talked into an AdMo night.
pistols: The Saloon is great! I used to live there- loved having it close by. I heart Julia’s Empanadas- found some from two weeks ago on my leather jacket just this morning…
Jenni: Pizzaria Uno was my go to when I was in Boston! The bartenders hooked us up and it was two buildings down from the restaurant where I worked, so I can’t hate.
Snow White: We could cram it into a weekend if we tried really hard…
fiona: There were so many! It was INSURMOUNTABLE!
Ella: So do I, love. So do I.
Spellbound: Definitely look me up when you do! It’s honestly a great city for a twenty something… i.e. manageable financially!
Playful Prof: Me too. I would KILL for their pepperoni. KILL.
JPP: Good! I promise you fake boobs, eyelashes, AND eggs. You just can’t beat that.
Miss Musing: You won’t be sorry
Hannah: Who isn’t? It’s one of the reasons Key West is my fave vacation spot!
alexa: I knew you’d get this. It really does take a while to adjust, but it’s so worth it, isn’t it?
I felt the same way when I moved to DC. I love it love it love it and feel more at home here than I ever thought possible.
Yay for DC!
I was going to come to DC for Spring Break to visit my friend, but then I got a roundtrip ticket to Spain for $252 (all taxes and fees included)!!! But after reading this, I am a bit sad I won’t be coming. Ah well, it will serve as my guide next time
Just found you through Marie’s Blog Cafe and realized we have something in common. Though I may be many MANY years older than you, I lived in Massachusetts (note, NOT a Masshole as I only lived there for high school) and went to UNC for college. After school, I moved to Chicago for many of the same reasons you moved to DC. And I still live in Chicago after more than a decade. It’s not such a bad thing if you never leave DC … I promise!
jessica: Yayy! We need to grab lunch sometime
Ruby: Oh, you tease! Next time!
SoMi’s Nilsa: What a coincidence! And I know exactly what you mean… the idea of “roots” and living in one place for that long used to terrify me… now I’m kind of excited about it. Gettin’ old, I guess…
Are you from Massachusetts too?
I always forget you are a semi DC newbie. I love that. And you sound like me maybe 5 or 6 years ago loving DC (even though I was not a newbie).
I do love DC too, no matter how much I make fun of the people and the dorkiness…constantly.
Before I moved, I was there for almost TWELVE years…over a decade-so I was ready to get the fuck out…but I loved it before that.
There was some serious root making business. And I always had my side love of NYC which is more my city style–but you know, after moving away from DC for a year…I started to miss it.
While I think over a decade is too long to spend anywhere so I can’t see myself back in DC permanently…it is a really nice place to spend a decade. Enjoy!!
Oh and Midtown clubs to dance and one super drunken late night at Rumors. Oh, college days!
Dmbosstone: Masshole, through and through!
So when can I come visit?
notyourplainjane: Anytime, love, anytime. Our couch is VERY comfortable.
Oh and while I could make a list for days on places to go in DC–I am scared I would never stop–so I am not going to start lol…but I would always suggest Dupont anytime in good weather.
There is one thing that was never really my style but definitey great for people watching DC's elite crowd including politicians and DC celebs and just getting your taste of a different side to DC:
Dinner & Drinks or weekend Brunch at Cafe Milano in Georgetown.
I personally love Bistro Du Coin for its charm and personality…but Milano has great people watching on a crazy scale.
And Fourth of July on the Georgetown Waterfront. That was something we did for about 9 years.
Pretty cool post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say
that I have really liked reading your blog posts. Anyway
I’ll be subscribing to your blog and I hope you post again soon!
Hi. Can you tattle me who did your layout? I’ve been looking for entire kind of like yours. Thank you.
Site super! By.
Wanna good joke? What is the most popular wine at Christmas? “Can’t we open the presents yet?”
