Exploring A Bit Of Food And Culture In Washington DC
I’ve spent a ton of time in this awesome city and if there’s one thing I can tell the average tourist it is this: Don’t get so caught up in visiting all of the historical monuments that you miss out on all of the cultural vibrancy and loads of fun that this town has to offer. Don’t get me wrong – the museums and art galleries are all great and some of the best in the nation – so I completely understand why places like the Smithsonian and the … [Read more...]

Tasty, Calamari Restaurant In Coconut Grove
While a typical neighborhood restaurant might not otherwise warrant a mention, Calamari in Coconut Grove does, for two reasons. First, there are not that many restaurant options in The Grove, so when there’s a good one, we feel we should mention it and give a good thumbs up. Second, Calamari also has one of the best tuna tartare’s in probably all of Miami – beautiful tuna, avocado, sprinkle of chili sauce, a little sweet, on a bed of fresh, … [Read more...]

Favorite Donut Shop On The Planet, So Far
I’m not a huge donut guy, at least in so much as that I am not a Homer Simpson type who craves over and dreams about donuts. But I like donuts and I love a great donut. I was pretty excited when Krispy Kremes first started popping up everywhere – tiny, delicious, sugary, fresh. That’s got to be going back to the late 1990s. It’s been a long time since I’ve found another donut that I just can’t stay away from. These are in Key West. Like most of … [Read more...]
