April 10 - April 16: Top 5 Sins of The Week
Astor Mediterranean: Hit the spot, after some door-to-door campaigning in Adams Morgan.
Circa at Dupont: Lunching al fresco? Divine. Mimosas at 1pm? Fabulous.
Hello Cupcake: The Carrot and Vanilla Gorilla flavours were delish! And no, I don't mean Jesse James.
Poste Brasserie: Still cannot stop raving about "20 Bites" (really, it was 21) because it was such an amazing meal. Will definitely be the first restaurant for the Professor.
Ray's Hell-Burger: Ridiculous lines, but The Dogcatcher was well worth the wait.

Canvassing 101 in the District... Canadian-Style
I know the District is HQ for government, but little did I know that I would soon get myself entangled in politics. I'm from Canada, so my headquarters is the nearest bar to watch the hockey game! Yesterday though, I got recruited to pound the pavement and canvas for votes & support for Fenty's re-election this coming September. DC had called me in the afternoon, asking if I and any friends were available to help. He pleaded a good case; if I said no, he'd have to do the whole district all by himself. Oh, a sucker for a good sob story, I am! I made a few calls to friends, and while some were interested in helping, they weren't getting off work until much later. Looks like it's going to be a two-person job, and the ironic part is that this half of the team is Canadian and a Virginia resident! Oh well. After a quick tutorial on Canvassing 101, I was handed my clipboard and off we went!
