About once a year, I find myself in North Richmond not far from Henrico, and three times now, I’ve ended up at Umami, a tiny little family-owned coffee and tea shop, specializing primarily in teas. The shop was decorated for … Continue reading

Ray’s To The Third, Rosslyn
Ray’s Hell-Burger, now being served at Ray’s To The Third, may not be getting the massive world recognition it was getting two years ago (think about the ramifications of this: The President of the United States and The President of Russia … Continue reading

Caffe Aficionado, Rosslyn
On Monday, I jumped in my car and headed over to Caffe Aficionado, computer in tow – they have WiFi. Even though the streets were nearly devoid of traffic pre-Christmas, parking in Rosslyn was still nearly impossible. After about ten … Continue reading

Old Ebbitt Grill, McPherson Square
The most remarkable thing happened at Old Ebbitt Grill yesterday. After the coolest White House Tour ever (Christmas decorations, special rooms open, an orchestra playing the Peer Gynt Suite in the East Room), it was a weird hour: 3:15 PM. … Continue reading

Buz & Ned’s, Henrico and Richmond
“Buz!” <He looked at me, with that stare of panic we all have when you know someone but can’t instantly place them> “Don Rockwell!†I said, to minimize that “awkward moment.” “What the hell are you doing here?” “What the … Continue reading

Bistrot L’Epic Wine Bar, North Georgetown
The Wine Bar at Bistrot Lepic is just as wonderful as ever. Perhaps just as importantly, you can actually go there and find parking – one of the few places left in town where this is true. I asked my … Continue reading

Baby Wale, Convention Center
Okay, I’m going to come right out and say it: I was at the soft opening of Baby Wale, and was disappointed with the food (they just weren’t ready to open at that point). But last week, things seemed very … Continue reading

Curry Mantra 2, Falls Church, VA
I’ve now ordered online from Curry Mantra 2 about five times. I got my online receipt sent to my email at 6:08, with delivery promised at 6:50. They are now batting 1.000 at being late *every single time*, and not … Continue reading

Backyard Barbecue, Arlington
Anne-Marie made me two Shepherd’s Pies yesterday because Matt was having his wisdom teeth removed today, and she and Michael saved them for me until today. I’m having half of one right now, and it’s just as good as it … Continue reading

Del Ray Cafe, Del Ray, Alexandria, VA
I met a couple friends for dinner last night at Del Ray Cafe. Frazzled and harried – it took me *one hour* to get there from Merrifield, and I was “not in the best of shape” when I arrived – … Continue reading
