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.

Mussel Bar & Grille
I was running an errand on a Saturday morning and decided to have lunch in nearby Bethesda, Maryland. Not too many places were open. But the Mussel Bar and Grille was and they even had a DC restaurant week special. It's a fantastic Belgian restaurant.
One Meal at Crisfield Seafood
I have walked by Crisfield Seafood in Silver Spring, Maryland many times and have always wanted to try it. When I heard that after 80 years it was closing, I decided I had to have one meal there. It took a couple of attempts, but I finally had that meal.
Jimmy’s Famous Seafood
Jimmy's Famous Seafood is a Baltimore institution. They are well known for their seafood, and I had seen their food trucks, but what brought them to my attention was their charity work during the pandemic. I decided I had to eat at their restaurant. A recent flight into Baltimore offered me the opportunity. Jimmy's Famous Seafood certainly lives up to its reputation, as the seafood ranks among the best I have had.
Ampersea
Some friends were in from out of town and we were looking for a place to dine at. We decided on a place in the neighborhood of Fells Point, right at the edge of the Baltimore harbor. There, we had a great meal at the nautically themed restaurant Ampersea.
