Parlay’s Replacement – Blue Moon, Dupont Circle DC
It’s been eons since I’ve been down on M street NW in DC, and last place I shot here from what I recall was Bub and Pops, but this post is about a new hookah lounge called Blue Moon DC. Not to be confused with Baltimore’s Blue Moon Cafe, which is an excellent spot in…

At Long Sunday Last – Marshall Diner, VA
So what do you do when leaving a lovely camping trip to WV? You seek a local diner of sorts to wrap up your trip of course! Until the 2 remaining local spots are closed shut on Sundays despite Maps saying otherwise, and one being up for sale entirely. So, what then? You drive 40…

Old Birthday Work Bash – Double T Diner, Perry Hall MD
Quick finale to my mini-series of places I’ve shot on one of my past birthdays, and I lucked out with everything being pretty close to one another too, with Double T being the last push north. Double T is your classic American diner to the T – all the expected favorites and then some, Steak…

Old Birthday Work Bash – C&R Pub, Towson MD
Here comes a mini-series of places I’ve shot on one of my past birthdays, and I lucked out with everything being pretty close to one another too! C&R Pub was my first stop – solid sports pub in Towson, MD, with all your usual favorites like, Your finger food served on checkered wax paper, and…

Manny & Olga’s Pizza, MD and DC
We all know Manny & Olga’s and I got to shoot them a few times at different locations, and they are absolutely worth it over national chains!

Addy’s Grill & Lounge, Manassas VA – closed
Going to be brutally honest here – I don’t even remember this shoot, so it must have been your normal in-and-out as most grills tend to be like, but located all the way around Bull Run and on a day I had to fly here all the way from Columbia, MD, perhaps it’s best I…

Prost, Washington DC
Spacious biergarten that is still open today, and if you ask me there’s never a bad time for a schnitzel or a good bratwurst along with some nice brewskis!

Proper 21, Washington DC
Now this place lives up to it’s name with ease – proper bar indeed! American-Mexican-Asian fusion is the name of the game here and the crew makes that work like clockwork. The shoot was as smooth as their presentation and we made it in time for 1 hour parking meter that I did not exceed…

Joe Theismann’s Restaurant, Alexandria VA
Awkward parking? Check. Awesome food and nice interior? Also check! I’ve shot Joe Theismann’s a good while back and the food here looked absolutely on-point despite not getting to try a bite, Remember, readers, that it’s never a nag when I say I didn’t get to try the food because rule number 1 is to…

Mackie’s Bar and Grill, Alexandria VA – closed
Mackie’s Bar and Grill is yet another spot in Old Town Alexandria VA that didn’t stand the time and shut down like many others, and once again – that’s really too bad. This was another chill bar with appropriate vibe that served a nice selection of good American fare. Owner was very cool as well…

Waterman’s Taven, Edgewater MD
This was a straight forwards shoot of some nice pub grub a bit south of Annapolis. Not all gigs end up memorable, but that’s absolutely fine as long as there aren’t any snags involved.

White Horse Tavern, Harper’s Ferry WV
This one was pretty memorable because it was after a gig in Baltimore on the same day as my 80+ year old grandmother was to pass her citizenship test. This place absolutely did not disappoint even though it was quite the hike to get here for me. White Horse Tavern is your proper, roomy, modern…

The Grilled Oyster Company, MD
Back in my day, when Grilled Oyster Co. had 2 locations – I got to shoot both of them, and the one at the tip of DC was an extra fun experience to boot! The first location I got to cover used to be in Cabin John Village, MD (aka Tuckerman Lane plaza), about a…

Cafe Rice and Kabob, Sterling VA – Worth the Wait – (sadly closed)
This one started as many seem to the past few years – owners forgot about the shoot, or likely weren’t even asked when they wanted to do it (thanks corporate, keep up your cushy desk jobs away from traffic and car repairs!) so a reschedule pushed everything back a week. Not to worry since I…

Taco Bravo, Timonium MD – Better A Little Late Than Never
As usual, my email about possibly bumping this gig went into the abyss and their friendly staff hadn’t a clue about the shoot while the manager stepped out for an errand. Very well, nothing a drink won’t fix while I wait 5-10 minutes, and I’ve had far worse waits before. 15-20 later though, manager went…
