Original square yeast filled doughnut. $3.75
Doughnut Plant, New York NY
I liked this donut. I wish there would have been more of the yummy jam filling though. The donut itself had a great chewiness to it that I enjoyed, and it wasn’t overly sweet. Mmm…
Father Demo Square.
Single scoop $4
Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, New York NY
This was a dense ice cream, but I liked it! The peaches and cream flavor was great and it was super cold so it last for the duration of our walk around the waterfront.
Brooklyn Bridge.
Sparkling wine and orange juice. $7
Dish DUMBO, New York NY
This place was a joke! they didn’t even have any drink menus and the service was completely clueless and incompetent! My mimosa was ok, but their wines tasted like crap. No thank you!

Rich chocolate cake, almond brittle, chocolate caramel. 3 course brunch $19
Fuego Cocina y Tequileria, Arlington VA
This flan was really different. It had a really firm texture which I wasn’t a fan of. It was more like a hardened custard than a beautifully soft flan. They place it on top of the chocolate cake and drench it in sauce so this is a very thick and rich dessert. It was way too sweet and sugary for me so I wasn’t a fan.
Government House, Annapolis MD.
With mustard on rye. 19.75
Katz Delicatessen, New York NY
This sandwich was delicious and HUGE! But I guess you would expect a humongous sandwich for almost twenty bucks. The pastrami was SO flavorful and beautifully smoked. The mustard had a great tang. The rye bread wasn’t my favorite since I’ve had better elsewhere. This was definitely a two meal sandwich!
Pickles. Complimentary
These pickles were great with a very interesting texture that I hadn’t experienced before. It’s hard to describe but it definitely wasn’t that of your typical pickle.
Brooklyn Bridge.
Mini, round custard filled doughnut. $3.50
Doughnut Plant, New York NY
I liked this donut. The custard filling was very tasty and the bruleed top was fun. The doughseed was fairly small though and I thought the price was a lil’ excessive.
Brooklyn Bridge.
Tomato jam, tempura onion rings. Happy hour $5
SEI, Washington DC
Mmm, these were good. The small Kobe beef patties were pretty juicy and flavorful, and you can’t go wrong with tempura fried onion rings! 🙂
Washington Monument.
Hot honey, goat cheese. Happy hour $5
Level, Annapolis MD
Omg, this was a revelation for me! Brussels sprouts + honey + goat cheese = Heaven! Seriously, these were amazing. For those of you who cook, I would get on this right now (and send me some)!
St. Anne’s Parish.
Crispy masa shells, black beans, chorizo, poached eggs, chipotle hollandaise. 3 course brunch $19
Fuego Cocina y Tequileria, Arlington VA
This tasted pretty good, but damn it was rich and filling! The masa was thick and dense and combined with the chorizo and hollandaise, but was a recipe for definite heartburn. Thank god I have a stomach of steel! Like I said, it tasted good but I think I could have done with just one of them.
Traditional Mimosa. $2
Prickly Pear Mimosa: cava prickly pear puree, orange juice. $5
Sprinkled with crushed peppers, oregano, and parmesan cheese.
IPizzaNY, New York NY
Came to Manhattan to visit some friends for the weekend and arrived late on a Friday night. It was direct to the bars and clubs, and of course greasy pizza afterward, lol! I don’t really remember the specific qualities of this slice, but I’m sure I enjoyed it in the moment. 🙂

Maple glaze, Benton’s bacon. $3.25
Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken, Washington DC
Mmm, this was delicious! Perhaps the maple glaze was a bit thick for my liking, but it still tasted amazing. Noms!
Mount Vernon.
Happy hour $5
SEI, Washington DC
I wish there was less cheese and more kimchi shrimp inside these quesadilla. They tasted good, but I wanted more of the kimchi flavor in the forefront.
