A daily dose of fashion, décor, snacks and life from our Nation’s Capital

I figured since it was Friday and not exceptionally warm out, I would end the week on a high note – namely, a note of sandwiches. You see, Ironcityspy is now working in Courthouse – and after a few hungry visits, I have concluded that Courthouse is one of the best places around for work [...]

How do I know you haven’t been there? Because it’s in the Palisades. Where is the Palisades? Um. Nobody knows. As far as I can tell, the Palisades is a DC neighborhood that occupies that amorphous space between the Foxhall Road Entrance to Georgetown University to the DC Reservoir. However, I have no idea what [...]

Confession. I must admit I was reticent to review Restaurant Nora at first. I mean, it was the first organic restaurant founded in the United States, Michelle Obama had a surprise birthday party there, and it was one of three restaurants featured in Top Chef DC in a rare moment where the producers decided to [...]

I have three talents in this world: Attracting unbelievably awkward situations Losing my check card Destroying my phone in impossibly stupid ways Talent 1 happens nearly daily and talent 3 happened two weeks ago — so I can’t really do that again. Which leaves us with talent 2. I really don’t know how I can [...]

On its website, Sea Catch describes itself as “Georgetown’s best kept secret,” and I have never read a more apt description. To be honest, when Ironcityspy dragged me to Sea Catch a couple weeks ago, I was filled with suspicion. Look. I went to Georgetown, have lived and worked in DC for years and had [...]

Beloved reader(s), the Mayflower Hotel’s Town and Country bar is closing. This is the saddest of news. The Mayflower Hotel, nicknamed the “Grand Dame” of DC hotels, is a local legend. Truman stayed there during the White House renovations, FDR wrote his inaugural address there, Lewinsky stayed there during the Clinton scandal, and, most recently, [...]

Monsoons, rain, tornado watches. Apparently, DC has angered the Lord in a way we godless Californians do pretty much every day (see earthquakes, wildfires, mudslides, hippies). I could blame the Festival of Lights, but then I’d be … Hitler? It’s also hard enough for our Jewish friends in the Christmas season. You try to make [...]
So yesterday this happened: Rage explosion. You know the reaction. The all too familiar feelings of exhaustion, hunger and anger build up throughout the day to ultimately coalesce into a BALL OF RAGE at the vending machine. You kick it, you shake it, but deep down you knew that the angle and size of the [...]

Since I always have a case of the Mondays, I thought the world needed a food post today. I will admit the title of my post sounds a bit shady, but believe me this place isn’t. My beloved basement eatery is Thai X-ing. And yes my adventurous denizen(s), you will want to go there. So that’s [...]

November 2nd, 2010. The day most red-blooded Americans have been counting down for months — if not years. A day where we can all come together and partake in something unique to this American experiment. I am referring to, of course, the McRib being brought back nationally for the entire month! Look, I get that [...]
