Today Taylor Gourmet will be giving away a free Puck’s Soda with purchase of a hoagie or salad. I’ve never heard of Puck’s either, but this is an excellent reminder that Taylor is a great choice for a lunch break in the middle of your work week. After opening on H Street years ago, the…

Ms. Vedral Goes to Washington: Peregrine Espresso, Market Lunch and Eastern Market (Or: Exercises in Patience)
Since my last post seemed to ruffle some feathers, I thought I should write this article about how I first became interested in picking up my life and moving to DC (note: this is not a comprehensive piece). Every time I would visit friends or family in DC, I’d have the same reaction: “I could…
The Hamilton: Old Ebbitt Gets Refreshed
Need more proof that DC has arrived? Look no further than The Hamilton, the latest offering from the the Clyde’s braintrust located at the corner of 14th and F in Northwest. Holding a capacity of 850 over three massive floors, it includes Washington’s newest music venue and it’s an insomniac — the whole place is…
Celebrity Sighting on H Street: Rhymes with Yo’ Mama
As we’re sure most people know by now, the Obamas dined at H Street’s newest chic eatery, Boundary Road, last evening. The whole 400 block of H was blocked off from 5-8pm. The snipers hanging out on nearby roofs and the big line of police motorcycles (complete with sidecars) was, in a word, impressive. Perhaps…
Ms. Vedral Goes To Washington: Boundary Road or Thoughts on Getting a Vespa
I think I’ve identified the main difference between New York and DC. No, it’s not size (although in terms of being a extraordinary city, it does matter and as New York City’s constant land use politics reveals, it’s also about how you use it). In all things at all times, New York brings its A-game….
Ms. Vedral Goes to Washington: Café Milano
Prior to moving to DC, I had been warned by…pretty much everyone…that my foodie proclivities would need to be adjusted. And experience had also brought this to bear: I once had Thai food at a restaurant with a punny name that used regular broccoli instead of Chinese broccoli in its Pad See Ew. I’d been…
Tune Inn’s Beer-Battered Burger: The Best Worst Decision of My Week
Americans get a third of their calories from hamburgers. That is a truth-fact. I try to limit myself to one a week, which means that I’m not holding up my end of the national average and I’m forcing a lot of people to eat more burgers than they probably want to. But what I lack…
America Eats Tavern: Isn’t This That New Jose Andres Place?
I suppose there are two distinct kinds of Washingtonians: those who care about Jose Andres and those who do not. Maybe you don’t care that he has brought the purposeful and flavorful cooking of his Spanish homeland to our Bloomin’ Onion nation. That’s your prerogative. And I pity you. Jose Andres is the creator/owner/name behind…
Boundary Road: (P)review
Boundary Road, the long-awaited tavern and eatery at 414 H Street NE, is officially opening on Monday after a series of delays, according to their Facebook page. Aside from the wagon-wheel chandelier upstairs, the decor looks great (lots of wood and exposed brick) and their drink menu looks quite inventive, including one made with…
