Baltimore’s dining scene has exploded over the years, and one of my favorite newish spaces is Magdalena. It’s located within the beautiful Ivy Hotel in Mount Vernon and if you have a chance, definitely ask for a tour of the restaurant, each room has its own theme and is […]
One of my favorite things about birthday dinners is that it’s a chance to go someplace special. This year, for me, that was Wit & Wisdom Tavern. I’ve been in a handful of times for drinks, happy hour, dollar oysters, and of course Chef Dyan’s fantastic desserts. But I’ve […]
After a day of eating and drinking in D.C., I was in the mood for something quick and healthy for dinner. I remembered that Jose Andres had opened a few fast casual vegetarian spots, called Beefsteak. Fortunately, there was a location less than than a five minute walk […]
