Philly is full of big-dog breakfast spots. But there’s more to a good morning in Philadelphia than perennially-packed Green Eggs, Sabrina’s, and Honey’s, and really, waiting in Disney World-long lines ought to be considered a crime when there’s such a bounty of wondrous and delicious options in the city. While those spots are decent, and the portions gargantuan, […]
Hawthorne owners Reed Landry and Fritz Brogan have officially opened the restaurant portion of their U Street tavern, serving a dinner menu of American bistro fare from chef Dot Steck. The four-story space, formerly home to Tabaq Bistro, debuted last month.* Steck is a 30-year veteran of the Washington restaurant industry, and worked alongside Ann Cashion at the original Jaleo, as well as Cashion’s most […]
Alfie’s 3301 Georgia Ave., NW Chef Alex McCoy’s eclectic Thai restaurant takes cues from his travels across Southeast Asia, evidenced on the menu—comforting khao soi curry noodles and sour sausage-fried rice share space with egg-topped Aussie burgers and Singapore sling cocktails. Reservations are taken at the funky, 39-seat space in Park View, but get there quick—McCoy may move […]
On a recent Thursday morning, I walked into Magasin Kitchen, a two-month-old restaurant in New Orleans’ Central Business District. It was ten minutes before noon, but even so, each of the 39 seats was occupied. On nearly every table sat large white bowls filled with golden broth, billowing aromatic steam. Any of a dozen restaurants […]
Just like that, Northern Liberties gets a new restaurant in ApricotStone, located at 1040 North 2nd Street, Suite 601, next to One Shot Cafe. The Mediterranean and Armenian restaurant by Ara (Front of House) and chef Fimy Ishkhanian took over the space once home to The Sweet Spot, a short-lived cafe on Liberties Walk. Syrian-born […]
Local watering hole with a warm ambiance & a deck serves American-style dinners & bar food. It only takes a few minutes of sitting at the bar before you realize that you’re in the local neighborhood watering hole. Reminiscent of Mt. Airy’s classic McMenamin’s Tavern, you can see why the people of West Conshohocken, PA […]
I’ll admit from the start that I am a bit biased in my review here. For some time now I have been lamenting the Hill’s lack of a good Italian restaurant that doesn’t suffer from the Olive Garden-tendency to think that pasta should be hidden in large mounds of cream-based sauces and then topped with […]
More often than not, tipsters, readers, friends, and family of Eater have one question: Where should I eat right now? Restaurant obsessives want to know what’s new, what’s hot, which favorite chef just launched a sophomore effort. And while the Eater 38 is a crucial resource covering old standbys and neighborhood essentials across the city, it is not a […]
The Shaw eatery opens with pizzas fashioned after the original colonies. The same restaurateur who brought us presidentially-themed eateries Lincoln and Teddy & the Bully Bar has created another edible ode to American politics: Declaration, now open in Shaw. The 52-seat restaurant from Alan Popovsky pays homage to the founding fathers with thin-crust pizzas (why not?), which represent the 13 colonies that […]
Few dishes are as results-driven and obvious in the quality of execution at first bite than a proper fried chicken. Your average fried bird experience has three components: the white meat, which tends overcooked, dried and inedible at worst and juicy and slightly supple when properly executed and/or brined, and the dark meat, which is […]
