Lauriol Plaza is one of those few places that has a very broad appeal and can be many things to many people. For example, it’s both neighborhoody as well as a destination for visitors and it can be very casual dining or a little more on the sophisticated side. I somewhat agree with most that […]

Mandarin Oriental Hotel Washington, DC
I first visited the Mandarin Oriental over a year ago while eating at MoZU and fell in love. It is easily one of the top hotels in DC as far as the general ambiance is concerned although I haven’t stayed there so can’t vouch for how it ranks as far as a place to stay. […]

Recently, the surge in high-end clubs has created a more stratified array of options but the lounges are still going […]
