After years of successfully operating fast casual Mediterranean kiosks downtown,Maria Kaimakis and Vassos Yiannouris opened up a full service restaurant in Roland Park. Cypriana has been open just over a year serving all of the menu favorites and more. I had the chance to visit earlier this week […]
One of Mount Vernon’s newest spots, Cafe Fili has become one of my go-tos recently. The Mediterranean inspired cafe has plenty of dishes that always hit the spot. Recently, my Girlfriend and I stopped in for a weekend lunch and as usual, were blown away by the flavors […]
Navy Yard is seriously just exploding. Something new and fantastic is popping up every week. Most recently, I checked out Chloe by Haidar Karoum and I’m already thinking about my next trip. The space was beautiful. And each bite was more delicious than the last. My girlfriend and I […]
