DC Food...

Today I'm on my way to DC to see my sister and not those terrible politicians {been very upset at them lately}. One thing that I'm looking forward to do is have some great food over there since it's not all about museums and sightseeing... do you have any suggestions?


I found out Serendipity 3 {yes, as in the movie!} opened a restaurant in DC and all I can think of is the frozen hot chocolate... could you resist this deliciousness???


I read Graffiato somewhere where they talked about restaurants that use locally grown ingredients and great pizzas. The chef was a competitor on Master Chef and wanted to create a restaurant with a cool feeling where all the family could have a good time.


Margaritas are always a plus in any trip and for what I've read the ones and El Centro DF are the best in the city... I guess I'll have to sacrifice myself and try them in the name of all my readers, ha!


Finally, the sis is taking me {per my request!} to have a cupcake at one of my favorite places... Sprinkles! After trying many cupcakes I have to say they are my favorites because the have mastered the perfect balance between cake and frosting... YUM!

Now I leave you and I'll see you tomorrow from the Nation's Capital!

    DC cupcakes are now quite famous. Also, go to Georgetown and be absolutely charmed. I love that place!

    Mmm cupcakes are always good! I'm usually with a friend in VA if I'm in the area and love Vietnamese food at 7 corners.

    I've never been to DC, but my standing food suggestion for any vacation is to not fuss with a budget ( calories or finance!) and just enjoy yourself. I always prefer to spend a little less on lodging in order to have a great meal or two

    Just went last month. The line for DC cupcakes was down the street so we didn't wait but if you go I'd love to hear a comparison with Sprinkles. We had a breakfast at Kramerbooks because another blogger suggested it,very good. The best food I had on that trip was Bodega in Georgetown, YUM!

    Haha! You're like me, I'm going to Paris for the food. I'll go to one museum sure, but will spend most of time at the cafes ;) Have so much fun, can't wait to hear about all the sweet morsels!

    Frozen hot chocolate is sooooo amazing at Serendipity! I hate to say it, but the one from Dunkin Donuts isn't half bad. Actually, it is pretty damn good. Have you tried it?
