As Brandon pointed out in the comments, I’ve really been doing this whole experiment for 6 years or so. But oddly enough, Capitol Grounds, located in the same building as TGI Fridays, was a place I had never visited until now. I’m not sure why either, but in the end, I didn’t regret my 6-year drought.

FoBoJoe: Illy
August 23, 2010
Well, the bar for a good cappuccino in and around FoBo was set pretty high by Illy. The little Euro-looking shop connected to the Renaissance Hotel (not really FoBo, but it’s within half a block of the Aston, so I’ll count it) serves a fine cup of coffee, and they do it with a smile.
Absolutely Giddy: Hirshhorn After Hours
July 26, 2010
If you can’t stand the heat then … dance in it instead! That seems to have been the unofficial theme for Hirshhorn’s After Hours event last Friday night.
There’s a special kind of energy at Hirshhorn After Hours. You get a sense that you’re breaking the rules. Like you’re someplace you shouldn’t be, doing something you shouldn’t be doing. It feels like staying up all night playing Sega, getting hopped up on Doritos and Mountain Dew. Except this is way, way cooler. For this one night, the Hirshhorn is the swankest club in all of DC.
Say Cheese! With Caprikorn Farm [Eatin' Fresh]
May 26, 2010
I got pretty excited last week when I heard there’d be a new cheese stand at the Farmer’s Market. Caprikorn Farm has goat and cow milk cheeses, and they are taaaaaasty.
They’ve got all kinds — but I took home a $7 block of Jalepeno Cheddar Goat cheese to try it out for myself. What I found was this:
Cheese! [Eatin' Fresh]
May 19, 2010
According to the Foggy Bottom listserv, this week you can check out some awesome cheeses from a new stand this year. Think: cheddar, gouda, Swiss and fresh chevre. Yummo!
Unfortunately it looks like the Cavanna Pasta stand won’t be at the market until further notice.
We’ll have a more complete post for you next week, after we get a chance to check out some of the goodies today.
