After a morning spent visiting a museum in Annapolis, we were looking for a place to have lunch. A friend took us to a local coffee shop. The place we went to, 49 West, has been a beloved local institution for decades.
Ice Cream in Richmond, Va
I was on a road trip to Richmond, Virginia to do some site seeing. I was in the mood for some ice cream and looked for places to go. Turns out, Richmond has great ice cream.
Nathan’s Dairy Bar
I was on a road trip in Virginia and was in the mood for some ice cream. After a quick web search for nearby places, I found Nathan's Dairy Bar just a few miles away in Manassas. When I got there, Nathan's had a long line. But it was worth the wait.
FishScale – Burgers no more
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.
Stone’s Countryside Tavern
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.
Swan Street Diner
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.
Sweet Finishes
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.
Casa Rosada – Artisan Gelato
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.
Mountain Pies
We were on a road trip, traveling through Pennsylvania, and looking for a place to eat lunch. A web search turned up a couple of likely spots. The one that peaked our interest was Mountain Pies. Pizza pies, that is. And, as we found out, their pizza is great!
Brunch at Mosaic Cuisine
I was going with friends to see a play in Rockville, and we decided to do lunch beforehand. We decided on Mosaic Cuisine, a French restaurant with a reputation for a great brunch. The reputation is well deserved.
