Granville Moore's is a bar on H Street specializing in Belgian food and beer. I have long wanted to go there, but whenever I was in the area I was not in the mood for that type of food. But when I heard rumors that it was closing, I made a special trip just to eat there.
It was restaurant week in DC and I decided to try a restaurant that I had my eye on for a while, a Latin American seafood restaurant a block away from the convention center. I came away quite impressed; Mariscos 1133 is first rate.

I've written a couple of times about FishScale, the restaurant in Shaw that serves fish burgers. It is a favorite place of mine. The last time I went I was surprised to see that burgers were no longer on the menu. But the food was just as good, if not better.
I love going to family restaurants. They have a wide variety of food, typically home cooked, in a comfortable, family friendly environment. While visiting some friends in Rochester, New York, I found a great one. Dining at Stone's Countryside Tavern is an unforgettable experience.
I love going to diners. The comfort food, the history, and the intimacy, all appeal to me. In the Larkinville neighborhood of Buffalo, I have found one of the best.
After going to a festival in Columbia, MD, I was in the mood for some ice cream. There was an ice cream truck at the festival, but I wanted something from the area. A web search found a likely place nearby. Owned and operated by two local entrepreneurs, Sweet Finishes exceeded my expectations.
It was a hot, 90° day in May. I was in Alexandria, Virginia and decided I could use some ice cream. There are lots of options in Alexandria, but Casa Rosada - Artisan Gelato caught my eye. I went there and was not disappointed.
