Rappahannock Coffee & Roasting, South Arlington
My expectations of Rapphannock Coffee & Roasting were so low that it wouldn’t have taken much to exceed them. However, despite its flaws, Rappahannock is one coffee house that South Arlington or North Alexandria residents should be aware of. I … Continue reading

Sweetbites Cafe and Bakery, McLean
I walked into Sweetbites for the first time today, and the first thing I noticed was the grab-n-go cooler on the left, which had been plundered of everything savory, save for a couple of kale salads which tempted me, but … Continue reading

Bar Civita, Woodley Park
It had been too long since my young dining companion and I went off on one of our adventures in DC, so I wanted to go somewhere neither of us had been before. Bar Civita just got something of a … Continue reading

Peter Chang Cafe, Williamsburg, and Graffiato, Richmond
I was in Newport News this weekend, and took the opportunity to try a couple of DC-area favorites, a long way from where their Executive Chefs are: Peter Chang Cafe in Williamsburg, and Graffiato in Richmond. I’d never been to … Continue reading

Pizza Vinoteca, Ballston

Oki Bowl and Sake Bar, Downtown
