$10 Corkage Fee (for Wines Purchased at Planet Wine) at Evening Star Cafe, Del Ray

Coffee and WiFi at Idido’s Coffee and Social House, South Arlington
I don’t often go to coffee houses in South Arlington, but when I do, I go to Idido’s (pronounced, I believe, like a Spanish word). Their website is here. At this point, I’ve probably been here over a dozen times, … Continue reading

Virginia Peanut and Chestnut Soup at The Mount Vernon Inn, Mount Vernon
Tourist season is approaching, and even at 3:30 PM on a hot, sunny Tuesday, Mount Vernon had its share of crowds – although there was plenty of parking, and you could simply walk up and purchase a ticket ($20 for … Continue reading
