DC Recap V2.0

Hi lovelies, hope you had a great weekend!  I spent the weekend in DC with the mister with more eating and sightseeing.  On Saturday, we hit up the Smithsonian Natural History Museum checked out the Hope Diamond and then some, and then walked over to the National Archives.  On Sunday, we rented bikes and biked from Dupont Circle to the Lincoln & Washington Memorials, after a pit stop at a farmers market to pick  up some pain chocolate.  Love the convenience of renting bikes in DC!  

And we ate some of the most authentic Asian food this trip, starting with Sichuan Pavillion some of the best Chinese food I've eaten in a long time.  And on Sunday we ate at Thai Xing, some seriously great Thai eats.  I would recommend both these places they're Asian foodie heaven.  And on Monday we had amazing pizza at Pizzeria Paradiso - we had the Macellaio and the tiramisu, both delicious, and being preggers I also had a hot chocolate :)

DC Recap: the food

 Happy Tuesday lovelies!  Hope you had a great fall weekend.  I was in DC visiting the Mister for the weekend, and eating some delicious meals. 

Saturday we went to a food truck fiesta and sampled some great eats.  We had the chicken, tofu, and steak tacos from TaKorean.  Sampled the calamari from the Tapas Truck , and ate the most delicious black truffle lasagna with Gorgonzola and portabello truffle cream sauce from Basil Thyme.

 For dinner on Saturday we dinned at Estadio.  We pretty much ate the entire menu between the 3 of us and the boys sampled their extensive beer menu.  Their desserts were amazing we had the pan con Chocolate (dark chocolate with sea salt and olive oil) and their manchengo cheesecake.

Sunday we grabbed a late lunch at Amsterdam Falafel.  Great concept of adding all the toppings that your heart desired.  Just wish you could eat it as a salad on a plate. 

Sunday night's dinner was at Sacrificial Lamb, they received a 100% rating on yelp and their chicken biryani didn't disappoint.  Monday's brunch was at a local joint (local as in down the street from the Mister's apt) the Commissary.  Their potato pancakes were perfection.  After a walk to the Library of Congress, where despite being a library you can't actually touch any of their books, we went to lunch at Rasika.  One of my favorite Indian restaurants to date; everything was delicious!
