BB

Although the Washington social scene slows down somewhat in August, BB has no problem keeping himself amused (that is when he finds the energy to face the heat).He recently found himself at Morso for a Georgetowner party that also featured jewelry from Ann Hand. BB had a great time socializing over a few glasses of white wine, but it was much too steamy in the restaurant, which left him feeling rather sticky and disheveled. He wants to return to try Morso’s cocktails, many which feature rhubarb (yum), as well as some of the tasty looking Eastern Mediterranean treats; he’ll just have to wait until it’s somewhat cooler (or the restaurant gets its air conditioning sorted out) so that he can properly enjoy his meal.


This past weekend BB had a friend in town from New York. It had been a while since he had seen her, and the two of them caught up over multiple long gossip sessions at Teaism (his friend’s favorite restaurant in DC). They first met at the Penn Quarter location, where she had a very tasty tempeh dish and the restaurant’s always divine chocolate salty oat cookie. BB, however, resisted Teaism’s treats as he wanted to try the nearby Fro•zen•yo (something he had been meaning to do for ages). The self serve frozen yogurt shop offers 16 flavors to choose from – he filled most of his cup with peanut butter (of course), but also tried cake batter, red velvet and banana cream. He liked it so much he went to the Columbia Heights location on Sunday. This time he had lots more peanut butter, cookies n cream and luscious lemon (after peanut butter his favorite). He can’t wait for the holidays so that he can indulge in seasonal flavors like pumpkin pie and eggnog.


Lest you think BB only eats dessert, he’d like you to know that while in Columbia Heights he also tried Pete’s New Haven Style Pizza. He is always searching for good pizza (sadly a rarity in DC) and was particularly craving it as he had bumped into two friends dining outside at Sette the previous evening (unfortunately he was headed somewhere and could not join them). He enjoyed his slice at Pete's, especially the chewy crust, but must admit that he is still craving Sette (the Regina pizza). And of course more peanut butter Fro•zen•yo.
