Ghost Kitchens
Ghost kitchens are kitchens without dining rooms, culinary concepts designed for delivery, most never becoming a bricks-and-mortar destination for diners. Continue reading “Ghost Kitchens”
Restaurant Restrooms
Current conditions have resulted in no recent restaurant visits, only takeout from a number of restaurants about which WW has previously written.
As you will recall one of the things I do when writing about a restaurant is to describe the men’s restroom or increasingly unisex restrooms. Continue reading “Restaurant Restrooms”

Restaurant: Maialino Mare
On January 7th, Debbie and I attended the opening reception of Maialino Mare. (Washington Watch January 2020) The restaurant is located in the new Thompson Hotel. This is the first full-service D.C. restaurant opened by Danny Meyer and also the first full-service restaurant he has opened outside of New York as part of his Union Square Hospitality Group.
Our second visit was for dinner on March 2nd with Bev and Brady. We had a 6:45 p.m. reservation. (See note at the end.) Continue reading “Restaurant: Maialino Mare”
Restaurant: Annabelle
If this address sounds familiar it’s because it used to house Nora Pouillon’s restaurant for some 38 years. Over the years I dined there many times. Continue reading “Restaurant: Annabelle”
Restaurant: Bresca
Debbie and I went to Bresca with Ricki and Tony. The restaurant has been open for about two years.
Bresca has a single Michelin star, one of 18 restaurants in the D.C. area that has one or more Michelin stars. Our experience proved that it deserves this honor. Neither Debbie or nor could recall a better meal from any of the many restaurants at which we have dined. (More about those 18 Michelin restaurants at the end of this piece.)

Restaurant: Maialino Mare
This is a first for WW, reviewing a restaurant that Debbie and I visited the night before it opened.
We were invited to a reception on January 7th the night before the restaurant opened in its new home at the Navy Yard. The restaurant is located in the new Thompson Hotel which also opened the next day. Continue reading “Restaurant: Maialino Mare”
Restaurant: Brasserie Liberté
Debbie and I went to Brasserie Liberté with Elizabeth and Hilary. It is relatively new and located in what was for many years Morton’s Steak House. It is not a steak house. Continue reading “Restaurant: Brasserie Liberté”
Baked by Melissa
This is not a restaurant, but WW has become so enamored with Melissa’s products that that they need to be shared.
Melissa Ben-Ishay has created a cupcake bonanza of tiny cupcakes. It is hard to describe. If there is a cupcake flavor/frosting that you would like, including gluten free, there is a high chance you can find it at Baked by Melissa. Continue reading “Baked by Melissa”
