Located a few steps off the beaten path of Connecticut Ave., Veritas continues to be one of the standouts in the DC wine bar scene. Opened by the same owners as Enology, this intimate spot has some of the most knowledgeable wait staff around and a wine selection that is extensive and interesting. No meals […]

It’s now been about six years since I spent a year teaching English in Korea and my love for Korean cuisine has yet to fade. I will admit that these days it does seem as though my stomach doesn’t have the stamina it once did. Subsequently, I only eat Korean food when I know I’m […]
Szechuan House Fusion Grill
I rarely venture out into the Capitol Hill area these days. It’s not that I don’t like the area – in fact, I love the area and I think it is just continuing to grow and thrive. The distance from Cleveland Park is what tends to keep me from venturing into Capitol Hill these days. […]
Commissary
A couple of weekends ago, Dean, Kamari and I headed over to meet for brunch at Commissary – an Eatwell DC restaurant located directly next to another Eatwell DC venue, Logan Tavern. The venue is complimentary is certainly complimentary in some ways (a bit more casual) however the differences are not substantial and I wonder […]
Huong Viet
Why can’t we have more places like Huong Viet in DC? Yes, I understand the economics, population diversity, and other factors of how Falls Church is different than Northwest DC but still, I want great tasting, easy and authentic Vietnamese food all within walking distance of Logan Circle. I know many of you go through […]
Logan Tavern
When I found out that a close friend of mine and her significant other were headed into DC for the night and wanted to grab dinner somewhere near Logan Circle I instantly thought of Logan Tavern. Granted, it had been quite some time since I had visited Logan Tavern but in a relatively short amount […]
Al Tiramisu
Although I love Italian Food, having had a slew of mediocre experiences over the past few years has really pushed Italian cuisine down on my list of preferences when eating out. So when I finally decided to try a new place, I tempered my expectations and chose Al Tiramisu in Dupont and I was glad […]
Mio
Last night I headed over to Mio for a gathering that honored the 75th anniversary of the end of prohibition. They extended their happy hour special throughout the night (my stomach just turned over from the memory of the two bourbon drinks I had) and also offered a variety of special dishes that I’ll talk […]
Open City
Piggybacking off the success of Tryst and The Diner, Open City is the latest venue brought to DC by Constantine Stavropoulis who has obviously figured out a great formula for success in the Nation’s Capital. His most recent concoction doesn’t have the same loungey feel as Tryst but then again, he probably got sick of […]
Rocket Bar
It’s been a little while since we at DC City Blog reviewed a bar so it was fortunate that a work function took me to Rocket Bar this past week. Like most other cities, DC has some pretty clear social divisions that manifest in the different venue circuits that people in DC choose. Rocket Bar is clearly […]
