Bet you missed this, huh?
Coming to you live from our nation's capital. So without further ado...Five things I love about Washington DC!
1. It's in the Northeast, but it's still pretty Southern. Best of both worlds.
2. The food! I had a spectacular dinner at Art and Soul last night (chef/owner Art Smith is Oprah's former personal chef) that consisted of: shrimp and grits, a carmalized apple and bleu cheese hoecake, and ricotta donuts. Plus, my favorite cafe chain, Corner Bakery, is front and center in Union Station!
3. The sights. I got some spectacular photos yesterday that I wll share with you next week.
4. The history and the preservation. Goes without saying.
5. The all-around serenity, even with all the hustle and bustle. It's a great mix.
As always, wishing you a wonderful weekend!
T, you are in DC!? I would love to meet you! Let me know if you have free time to meet at Starbucks or something! Landlocked Mermaid isn't here this weekend but she has been trying to get us to meet for ages! I will send you a fb message w/ my contact info, just in case :)
ReplyDeleteOMG I LOVE SHRIMP AND GRITS
ReplyDeleteIf you ever go to New Orleans, (first contact me and I will make sure to be at the condo), and I will lavish you with the best shrimp and grits in the world at emeril's NOLA restaurant ! Or if I can't make it, tell Jorge at the front that you know me and he'll treat you right, no kidding.
Oh how fabulous, Corner Bakery, Union Station, Shrimp and Grits, all just wonderful, I LOVE D.C. and can't wait to go back. My parents live in Chevy Chase so we are there often! Enjoy, can't wait to see your pictures, friend! xox
