  • The Eleanor DC, Washington DC

    The Eleanor DC, Washington DC

    The Eleanor DC was a fantastic shoot at a casually swanky spot right under the crossing of New York and Florida Ave NE, about a click from the Union Market where I’ve done my share of work over the years. Atmosphere, staff, and food here were on point!

  • Parlay’s Replacement – Blue Moon, Dupont Circle DC

    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…

  • Wall of Brew and Vegan Food – Frederick Social, MD

    Wall of Brew and Vegan Food – Frederick Social, MD

    Frederick Social is definitely designed for the social part of its name – very roomy interior with various types of tables and seats to accommodate different crowds and set everyone nice and cozy to enjoy the giant wall of beer taps and their tapas style plates.

  • Old Birthday Work Bash – C&R Pub, Towson MD

    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…

  • Proper 21, Washington DC

    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…

  • Slow, Slow, If Only Steady – Ambrosia Restaurant & Bar, Cedar Park, Vienna VA

    Slow, Slow, If Only Steady – Ambrosia Restaurant & Bar, Cedar Park, Vienna VA

    This was a neat little attempt at a Greek restaurant where everyone including the owners just dragged their feet, so despite actually decent food they got booted out by a Pizza Bolis. Say what you will, but if you’re a proper, full-fledged and long-standing restaurant that ends up losing to a mediocre pizza chain –…

  • Bar J Chili Parlor, Occoquan Historic District, VA

    Bar J Chili Parlor, Occoquan Historic District, VA

    Bar J Chili Parlor was a pleasant end to one of my past BUSY days and I gotta give them credit for fusing Tex-Mex and some southern bbq ideas together as well as things like the chili spaghetti they call mac. The place itself was cozy and spacious – perfect for a happy hour with…

  • El Rey, Ballston VA – Tacos, Tequila, and More Tacos

    El Rey, Ballston VA – Tacos, Tequila, and More Tacos

    Another absolutely fantastic Latin spot with proper selection of sandwiches, small bites, and of course tacos! As usual, management forgot to inform anyone about the shoot happening, but given clearly good management here the shoot went under way promptly (and dishes absolutely did not disappoint!). Food always reflects how any place is run and smooth…

  • Él Bebe, Washington DC – Tequila!

    Él Bebe, Washington DC – Tequila!

    Él Bebe was a super-quick shoot since I was sent here on a combo shoot with Circa right next door and having negotiated everything to the GM – the kitchen was almost ahead of my pace and that made me a very happy shooter! Food here is absolutely on point as well. The food was…

    Quincy’s Bar and Grille, Gaithersburg MD

    My second locations of Quincy’s, this time the one in Quince Orchard area – same good old local bar and grill! Nice American vibe with all the usual fare at any one of their locations and you really can’t go wrong here.

  • Sexi Mexi Burritos, Winchester VA

    Sexi Mexi was a nice and prompt shoot and a neat little shop albeit absolutely away from civilization outside of their own downtown.

  • Hard Times Cafe, College Park MD

    Hard Times Cafe, College Park MD

    Eventually I even got to shoot our great local wing Wednesdays kind of spot, Hard Times Cafe! There are about 3 locations and this being the bigger one. Grilled wings here are amazing and cheap. For this shoot we trucked a table outside and set up some “backgrond” saltines to cover some of the brick…

    The Bungalow Sports Grill, Alexandria VA

    The Bungalow Sports Grill is a pretty good sports bar located at the Manchester Lakes plaza in Alexandria, VA. Standard bar fare with usual frills. Standard old sports bar shoot with solid presentation.
