As I mentioned earlier, I am temporarily working at my company’s DC branch while they are rebuilding my office. The first thing on my “To-Do” list of being an urban worker was to eat lunch at a food truck like all of the fun, hip city people do on television. Thanks to some Twitter research, [...]
Feeling a bit saucy, Rob and I decided to go to a salsa bar for our random Thursday night date. From the mild tomatillo to the hot-and-spicy chiltomate, these condiments did not disappoint! To cool ourselves from the muy caliente salsa, we helped ourselves to their open bar featuring old-fashioned cane sugar soda from Boylans. [...]
