but the vets who died gave you the right to voice your opinion. God Bless them
i'm guessing they put in some good sound buffering windows? fl ave is LOUD.
^yes. The only danger at this location is being run over by a motorist from Maryland.
Faison's writeups make me crazy. And not in a good "I'm crazy for buying this house!" way.
The Dancing Crab's commercials have to be the worst I've ever seen. The owners saying,...
Very awesome. There is a place like this in the Twin Cities. Turns out that orange infused olive oil is delicious in brownies and on salad.
So they just sell oil, vinegar, spices, and pasta? Won’t most customers find this a bewildering ordeal?
Sounds awesome. I’ll definitely be checking this place out.
They blew it for me with the use of the word “Artisanal,” probably the most over-used and wrongly-used word in retail today. It’s just wrong!
costco sells “Artisanal Lettuce”. uh, i’d prefer farmer lettuce please.
Go to A. Litteri at the DC Farmer’s Market. They have much much much more than 24 and definitely for a better price.
+1. Litteri’s is one of my favorite places in DC, hands down, and they definitely have way more variety for a better price than this place will. The limited hours are a pain though.
This store is verging on a Portlandia sketch.
Your use of the word ‘verging’ is very generous.
If this qualifies, then I can’t imagine how many of the new cupcakeries, charcuteries, etc. would also qualify.
Sounds like the floors are going to be very slippery!
They’ll have a hard time competing with Secolari on Bethesda Row…they’re the best!
Can’t wait to go there. A place like that will explode at Capitol Hill. Specialty oils add a lot to my cooking.
I have been to Secolari. I think they are very good also, but how can you compare this one hasn’t opened yet. I think we should at the very least give it a try and then compare.
I look forward to any new business in DC and will at least check it out.
Walked past here yesterday and saw that it’s progressing rapidly. Talked to the owner, she seemed like a nice very knowledgable lady.
the owner is committed to the neighborhood and is very passionate about the store.
