That’s right folks. You suspected that Sticky Rice had gone mainstream before now. But brunch? Yes, brunch. No longer do you need to hit up Mandu for Asian-style weekend brunch specials; now you can go to Sticky Rice and not miss out on tots! The brunch menu at the newly expanded (a new annex and…

Tortilla Coast: Quadrant to Quadrant
A second outpost of Tortilla Coast recently opened up shop at the corner of 15th and P in Logan, and it is much different from its sister restaurant on the Hill. New neighborhood, new style — the spot focuses on authentic Mexican, a breath of fresh air from the standard Tex-Mex fare to which we’re…
The Big Board Adds an Upstairs
Happily, The Big Board, the new bar in the place of sad what-could-have-been story, Toyland, is doing very, very well in its new home at 4th and H, NE. Every time I have been in or walked by, the bar is filled with friendly-looking types of all ages, creating the everybody-knows-your-name-but-not-in-a-weird-or-creepy-way vibe. What’s more, now…
Station 4 Rolls Into Southwest
Quietly tucked away within the little-quadrant-that-could (Southwest) is Station 4, a new-ish restaurant and lounge conveniently located at 4th and M, right across from the Waterfront Metro stop. Arena Stage goers can collectively rejoice — finally, a place to go before your show. Despite Tom Sietsema’s less-than-glowing review, I found the spot to be pretty stellar….
Meatballs: Whose Balls Are These?
There’s been a lot of press about the opening of new Chinatown/Penn Quarter restaurant, Meatballs. Is this really a Michel Richard restaurant? Are the meatballs really going to live up to the restaurant’s name? In my opinion, yes and yes. This is Michel Richard’s third DC restaurant, and for my budget, the only one I’ll…
Lunch Special: Central Michel Richard
Here’s the short version: if you want to eat at Central and spend under $100, you must go at lunch. And the long version: It’s so worth it! Not only are you getting a great deal, you’re having a little workday holiday. But the food is, of course, the main draw. Now until November 11,…
The Happy Hour Chronicles: Bistro La Bonne
Walking down U Street, it’s easy to be lured by the sparkle of Marvin and the Gibson or the solid good deal of The Islander, but tucked away between 13th and 14th Streets is Bistro la Bonne. In between some clubs, nail salons, and a Mexican restaurant, Bistro la Bonne is a slice of no-nonsense…
Ethiopic Reigns on Lower H Street
Now readers of last weekend’s Saturday Post know what denizens of H Street have known for months: Ethiopic makes killer kitfo (read Tom Sietsema’s review here). Now that the restaurant has undergone a lengthy refurbishment, diners can enjoy a more polished aethetic experience while sustaining the same high caliber of Ethiopian food that DCists have…
All Aboard the Big Board
Rising from the ashes of beloved and reviled Toyland comes The Big Board, a new gourmet burger joint and bar at the corner of 5th and H St NE. The decor is noticeably different from the Toyland days. The owners have smartly chosen an understated yet considerably more urban theme, with exposed brick and a…
