Last weekend was girls’ weekend! That means my girlfriends came to town and had lots of cheese and yummy drinks and when that wasn’t happening, we were at restaurants eating our faces off (ok, maybe those activities are all exactly the same). This post is probably a little overdue because I love The Smith and […]

Me and the places I eat + the dishes I cook.
Butter, NYC
Recently, I had happy hour at Butter in NYC. Upon visiting, I’m not entirely sure why it’s called Butter, but I know that butter is delicious, and it’s right by my new office, so that was logic enough for me! Butter is the brain child/restaurant of Alex Guarnaschelli, who is pretty much famous because Food […]
TBD, NYC
Mainly I just love the name of this place. Also, the food was amazing. If you read my earlier post, then you know I have a new job, and although I’ve been living in NYC for two years, I wasn’t actually working in NYC until I got this new job. And even though I am very excited […]
Firebirds, Gaithersburg, MD
Shout out to all my Gaithersburg peeps out there! (Anyone?) (No one?) Since WordPress is literally red-squiggly-lining “Gaithersburg” every time I type it, I’m going to take the hint and accept that a minor geography lesson might be in order. A few things to know about Gaithersburg: It’s a real place in the modern world, […]
Hank’s Oyster Bar, Washington, DC
Seafood = life, and now that we all agree, let’s talk about Hank’s Oyster Bar in Washington, DC. I was back home a couple weeks ago, and – per usual – one of my best girlfriends and I deliberated for days about where we should go planned a dinner date. Even though I was born […]
Gabriela’s, NYC
In case you missed it (like I pretty much did), there was a very minor soccer tournament going on for the past couple of weeks. (You’re welcome!) And, because we are the absolute best at planning things, we ended up at a sports bar 10 minutes after the championship game started and it was more […]
La Sirena, NYC
Not really sure how I didn’t know that La Sirena is a thing, considering it’s right across the street from Chelsea Market and everyone else seems to know it exists, but you aren’t living if you aren’t learning and so here we are! I loved the vibes of this place! It’s half outside, but the good […]
Blue Smoke, NYC
Since BBQ is not often enough treated as the gender-neutral experience that it deserves to be, one of my girlfriends and I decided to have a dainty little (HA!) dinner at Blue Smoke before heading to our friend’s birthday party the other night. Blue Smoke totes itself as “a barbecue restaurant rooted in the culinary […]
BH Kitchen, NYC
Just a shout out to the lovely BH Kitchen in NYC and some yummy bar snacks/these adult (that means “boozy”) milkshakes we just shared. Life is but a memory meant to be had ❤️
Happy Fourth of July!
Wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy Fourth! I’m bubbling up a post I originally shared on Memorial Day, in case people have burger-making plans on their agendas today and want some delicious and easy tips! Hope your holiday is fun/relaxing/friend + family-filled/whatever you hope for it to be. Xo Charlene
