So I moved from the city of beauty "Miami" to D.C, where everyday I discover something new, sometimes amazing, sometimes not. One thing I needed to know was who the hell was Jose Andres's and can his food really be that good? Being the foodie that I am, I had to test the waters. I went to a mardi gras party held for a Louisina congressman at Ozio's and met a Rusian gentlemen by the name of Brian Zaslavsky who urged me to see what the hype was all about, and he reccomended Zatinya. Being from Miami, I love how exotic the name sound, but would I like the food, would I like the ambiance, and most important.....would I like my drinks! The anwer was yes, yes and GOD YES! What I thought was hype turned out to be the real thing.
What's good food with out friends, it was only right to take my visiting friends from Miami, to experience Zatinya with me, and they graciously thanked me for a wonderful night. Where do I start? The menu is as diverse as the city of DC, the prices reasonable, the ambiance fun and sheek, the service superb and the drinks absolument incroyable...which means absolutely amazing in French. The blend of Turkish, Lebanesse and Greek inspired tapas offered option and variety. The service was quick, the food delish, and the drinks .....GREAT!
One drink in particular kidnapped my heart, it was called "clean monday", if there's a clean way to get toasty, this is the drink for you. Clean monday is the cleanest mixed alcholic beverage you will ever experience, and you almost feel like your liver should thank you. Make sure you save room for desert, because the Turkish Delight is truly a treat!
If you're ever in DC and want to go somewhere as fun and cool as the group of people you're with start at Zatinya, you can't go wrong! I guess Jose Andres' is the man.

I know when you think of lip gloss you think of the mundane, MAC, Chanel or maybe even Dior, but you are really doing yourself a disservice. I know that one eyebrow is raised and you are questioning my sanity as to how I can say Dior or Chanel is mundane, but compared to HUSH, they are just the status quo. If you profess to be a socialite, a diva, or a trendsetter, what you call lip gloss should look like art. HUSH cosmetics is the new "it" line of makeup for all ethnicity's and age groups. A lip gloss that is prettier than you Hermes' bag is definitely worth blogging about. I am proud to say my friend Jessica Sutherland is the genius behind this line of makeup that has twitter and all the hottest night clubs buzzing. If you don't believe me just ask around. Any lip gloss other than HUSH, is just plain ol uncivilized! 
Every town has a jewel, in Silver spring, Maryland I am pleased to say that I've found a charm. What appears be a cute country home, is actually home to a fine restaraunt with detailed nooks and cranies of old meets new. What's even better than the charming appearence of Mrs. K Toll House, is the hypersalivating food and perfect attention to good service and etiquette you'll encounter. Open since 1930, Mrs. K's Toll house has the experience it takes to perfect each and every meal. I was pleaseantly impressed with the New Zealand lamb chops marinated with juniper berries, garlic and rosemary freshly grilled and served with a tasty Shiraz reduction, YUM YUM!. Perfectly seasoned, and tender, your palate will appreciate the party your mouth will have after eating that succulent juicy piece of meat. Don't forget to check out their fine wine list and If ever you decide to avoid the hustle and bustle of Downtown D.C or Georgetown, take 16'th street to Colesville road, and enjoy a peaceful eloquent dinner, with the ones you love most!
