Dickson Wine Bar, U Street Corridor
One very important thing to remember about Dickson Wine Bar is that it doesn’t open until 6 PM, even on Fridays. Happy hour runs from 6-7 PM, and on this day was featuring glasses of Gruet Blanc de Noirs ($5, … Continue reading

Heritage Asia, Glover Park
I’ve been curious about Heritage Asia since the sign first appeared on Wisconsin Avenue last year. Heritage India has been upstairs for years, but what, exactly was this? There are two different chefs (Mohan Singh at Heritage India, and Thasana … Continue reading

Cowboy Cafe, Arlington, VA
“What are ya drinkin’, honey?” That’s the greeting I got when I took a seat at the bar at Cowboy Cafe on a Tuesday evening, with country rock playing in the background. A lot of people might remember Cowboy Cafe … Continue reading

The Bagelry, Silver Spring, MD
Tucked away in a tiny strip shopping center on Vital Way in Colesville, The Bagelry has been quietly serving some decent bagels for over 25 years now, and has gone through several ownership changes. Although I now prefer Goldberg’s, you … Continue reading

Kenny’s, Silver Spring, MD
Kenny’s is a tiny Peruvian roast chicken joint in Four Corners, located right next to the bigger, more obvious Fajita Coast. It was 9:25 PM, and they were closing at 9:30, but they still happily packed up a Whole Chicken … Continue reading

Cuba de Ayer, Burtonsville, MD
At some point, I’d love to do a back-to-back comparison of Rockville’s Cuban Corner with Burtonsville’s Cuba de Ayer, both of which I’d only been to once (before tonight). It had been a few years since I’ve been here, but … Continue reading
Comet Ping Pong, Chevy Chase
(I feel funny pigeonholing Comet Ping Pong and Buck’s Fishing and Camping into a neighborhood.) A few years back, Jamie Liu and I partook in The Fab Forno, and it really became clear that Comet Ping Pong was putting out … Continue reading

Pupuseria y Taqueria La Miguelena, Langley Park, MD
There are several Salvadoran-owned food trucks scattered about Langley Park (I saw one hidden behind the place that used to be Fontana Bowl-o-rama). The Pupuseria y Taqueria La Miguelena truck is nominally from Hyattsville, but was parked in the driveway … Continue reading

Negril, Howard University
There was a time when the Negril at (the now-demolished) Waterside Mall was the restaurant I’d frequent more than any other. I got to know the menu extremely well, and spent lots of time and energy convincing my friends to … Continue reading
