On Tuesday, July 21 from 5–7 pm, all DOLCEZZA locations (with the exception of the Hirshhorn Museum) will be offering guests a free scoop of its limited-edition Chocotorta gelato. (more…)

From an email:

Tiffany’s Bar & Bistro, the modern Mediterranean restaurant located on H Street’s historic corridor, is celebrating its one-year anniversary on July 15th. The husband-and-wife duo Malti Chaudhari and Mehmet Suktuli opened Tiffany’s in celebration of their love story and Mehmet’s Ottoman-style culinary roots. Tiffany’s is resemblant of the couple’s personal love story, as Malti’s engagement ring was purchased from Tiffany’s & Co, the couple’s marker of the beginning of their journey. Within days of the restaurant’s opening, the couple welcomed the birth of their daughter, whose name is carefully imbued in one of the restaurant’s many murals hand-painted by Mehmet and friends.

On Wednesday, July 15th, guests dining at Tiffany’s will receive a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate the anniversary alongside their meal. (more…)


I’m super excited about these! Kelly Towles does not disappoint! Kelly used some photos of old signs I’ve taken over the last 20 years and came up with this great shirt. Do you recognize any of the signs? Simply a small sample but some of my favorites. These shirts are VERY limited. I only ordered a bunch to bring in person to our 20th anniversary party which will be this August 27th at Moreland’s Tavern. AND there will be a new PoPville beer from our friends at Atlas Brew Works unveiled that night. AND my friend Austin Graff will be hosting a 45 minute chat/Q&A with me before we start quaffing those beers! Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to August 27th but definitely save that date!!

Here’s the front: (more…)
