This weekend is jam packed with events – everything from the Taste of Arlington and Taste of Wheaton to the Joint Service Open House and Airshow. It is a great weekend. Who doesn’t love an airshow?

It is a beautiful day in DC. The sun is shining and it is going to hit the high 70’s. Tomorrow is supposed to be sketchy, but it is going to be sunny and warm for Mother’s Day. Yeah, Sunday is Mother’s Day. You have two more days to get a card and book brunch. I will have a list of great places at the end of this post.

Visit an Embassy

All of the European Embassies are having an open house on Saturday from 10am-4pm. It is an easy way to visit a country without leaving the comfort of DC.

Farmers Markets in the Area

April 22, 2010April 23, 2010 by Rex

There is nothing better than fresh produce. I enjoy walking through the farmers market seeing the bounty of the day. I try not to have a recipe in mind when I go, that way it seems more Top Chef. Actually, it is because I am not sure what produce will be fresh. You don’t want … Read moreFarmers Markets in the Area

Easter Brunch

April 4, 2010April 2, 2010 by Rex

Every year before Easter I post the best Sunday Brunches around. This year we have a few new restaurants to the list. Make sure to get your reservations before Sunday.

Sunday Brunch is a ritual for a lot of people, but where to go is always a chore. I know that every single restaurant these days has brunch and it is hard to decide where to go. I wanted to write up a list of great places that I have gone for brunch, to make your lives easier. Plus, a lot of these places are not that well known and will allow you to call today for reservations.

Pienza Italian Market

One of my new favorites is the brunch at the Pienza Italian Market at the Gaylord National hotel at the National Harbor. The buffet is like one in vegas. It appears to be a quarter mile long. They offer everything from fresh baked pastries to custom omlets to a dessert bar with fresh custard. It is definately a place to go.

For Reservations call (301) 965-2000 – 201 Waterfront Street, National Harbor, MD 20745.

Time is ticking for Restaurant Week

March 19, 2014January 8, 2010 by Rex

You still have time. Restaurant Week starts Monday!!! DC Winter Restaurant Week is upon us. Here is the gist of it. Restaurant Week consists of the best DC area restaurants offering a 3 course prix fixe meal for $20.10 for lunch and $30.10 for dinner. Restaurant week is from January 11-17, 2010. So making a reservation at your favorite restaurants is a must as they fill up quickly. It may be a little late to reserve a table at the hottest restaurants, but you can still find a table at one of the other awesome restaurants.

Here are my tips for a great restaurant week

Pick a restaurant that has the full menu for restaurant week
Stay away from the Steak Houses – They are usually lame
If the restaurant has a Restaurant Week menu look at it on their website before reserving a spot.
Try a new restaurant – Restaurant Week gives you the opportunity to try new and interesting cuisines.
Have fun! – Order a glass of wine with dinner.

Here is my list of restaurants. All of them serve the lunch and dinner prix fixe unless otherwise noted. I have provided links to check for reservations. The links are set to look for open tables starting Jan. 11.
