The whole world of “Mass Ave” and I mean the lower numbers, not Embassy Row, is not my stomping ground. Not even near it to be exact. However, since I’ve begun to feel like a hungry female version of Bill Murray in “Groundhog Day” as of late, that neighborhood is looking more and more attractive, [...]

Warm Spring Weather Welcomes the Patio @ J&G Steakhouse
By Punch Correspondent Karen Garnick Living in the Nation’s Capital, what is better than sipping on a martini with your besties, sitting around an outdoor fire pit on a warm summer night, with views of the most powerful block in America? Well, not much, and you can get all this and more at J&G Steakhouse’s [...]
The Wines of Lebanon at Kababji Grill in Dupont
By Punch Pep Correspondent Elizabeth Fischer When a wine event hits my inbox – I jump (literally and figuratively) at the chance to cover. I love wine and I love learning about wine. (Yes, I am a nerd because I love learning – period! :) – I once wondered how long the government would grant my [...]
Punch Pick : Park Hyatt Masters of Food & Wine Present a FRESHFARM Market Culinary Experience
When can we start this cloning of human beings business? Sigh. I will be at a wedding in Mexico when this event is scheduled, but friends, this is one Masters of Food & Wine you should not miss, especially because it involves a field trip. Field trips! Love them. And Megan McGrath, our Punch Palate [...]
Save the Date for An Evening with Common Threads “Chefs Celebrating Children in the Kitchen” : April 26th
I’m a firm believer in things happening for a reason and timing is everything and things end up the way they are supposed to and people end up with whom they are supposed to be. Ok, perhaps that allows the universe to take a bit more control than some folks like to let it. But, [...]
Smith & Wollensky Celebrates its 50th National Wine Week with Capitol File
Smith & Wollensky, the consummate steak house and bar, played host to its 50th National Wine Week Celebration in D.C. presented by Capitol File magazine on last Tuesday. Guests of the publication walked into the familiar 19th Street, NW staple restaurant not by way of the normal entrance, but rather via a “green carpet” (Smith [...]
Capitol City Brewing Company Introduces Some Savory Seasonal Beer
By Punch Pep Correspondent Elizabeth Fischer Beer and Valentine’s Day had one thing in common this year – me… Well – possibly more than just me as I did witness many couples enjoying the same beers; and … Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day – a day of love & celebration – Hallmark’s coup – and [...]
Punch Peaks : A Glorious Week in Aspen
After arriving on Saturday the 12th, we quickly settled into finding comfort with the altitude, the “mountain time” (it’s not just 2 hours behind, it’s a more casual, easy, relaxed way of living) and the basic routine. Each morning, we started with breakfast together in the kitchen and dining room of the four-bedroom property where [...]
Pearl Dive Oyster Palace to Host Crawfish Boil
I’m no Southerner, all though I’ve resided below the Mason Dixon line for the majority of my life and many of my relatives call Hotlanta and Baton Rouge home, I personally have never developed a taste for crawfish, BBQ, Bourbon, collard greens, grits, and all that other stuff. In the nation’s capital I fit into [...]
An Evening of Port at Birch and Barley
By Punch Power Correspondent Ghazal Vaghedi This past week I attended the port media dinner hosted by the Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e Porto (IVDP) at Birch and Barley. The exquisite five course menu by Chef Kyle Bailey was paired with a variety of dynamic ports from Porto, Portugal (in the Douro Valley), the [...]
Melody Tavern : Live Music Resto-lounge Opens in Arlington
Post by Punch Correspondent Karen Garnick I hate to admit it, but I’m the opposite of a “bridge & tunnel” person. I rarely leave DC. It’s partially due to not owning a car, and partial laziness, but the thought of “crossing the river” always seems so daunting. However, I branched out this past weekend to [...]
