Sometimes everything just seems to fall into place just right, and without a ton of effort on anyone’s part.  Not often but this past weekend was such an occasion…  As the wedding draws closer my groomsmen have been looking for something worthwhile and memorable for a bachelor party and being a huge Redskin, and [...]

So its not just a metro stop guys… at 7th and North Carolina SE there actually is a food Market.  It is pretty sweet too, I’m still jealous of the Strip District in Pittsburgh of course for shear scale and variety but this place has 2-3 good looking butchers, a bunch of fresh produce and [...]
