I've been an Arepas Pues fan for years at this point so it's nice to actually make content about it. I always get the Arepas basket so I can try the different meat options.

I typically see Chinese restaurants as either casual/family style or fine dining. But I love Basebowl in Navy Yard because it's a bar! It's a typical bar, but all the food is absolutely delicious Chinese. So it's a nice change of pace.

I went back to Cafe Riggs after a few years and the food is just as excellent. My favorite item was probably the ravioli but the burrata came a close second. Oh and the deconstructed cheesecake was sooo good.

El Techo is one of the prettiest rooftops in DC for sure. on get 3 tacos + beer for just $25 and on Thursday nights, indulge in their $9 margaritas. Brunch all day on Sundays!

Someone recommended I go to El Bebe in Navy Yard so we did! It's cute. Tex-mex for a cooler crowd. I do wish I'd grabbed a margarita, but oh well. The happy hour deals are like $5 and $7 so really great prices.

I was PRESSED to finally visit Shōtō located in downtown. I had about 15-16 dishes and there were no bad options. We will be running down everything!

I went to Astro Beer Hall (yes same people as Astro Doughnuts!) and the vibe is great and the food is good. They have some arcade games as well so it's a good spot for the family. Located in Shirlington, VA and downtown, DC.

The food at Cucina Morini was stunning! The CAPESANTE ALLA CAPRI is pan seared scallops on lemon-herb risotto with tomato & basil. Gorgeous and absolutely delicious. Everything was worth it! Located in Mt. Vernon Triangle neighborhood. Matthew Adler

Alta Strada is definitely one of those places that have dependably delicious food. That tiger prawn scampi is one to beat. They also introduced a delicious spring vegetable gnocchi. And you can't leave without having the warm, doughy bomboloni dessert.
