DC Restaurant Week: Weekend Brunches
To finish off Restaurant Week, I doubled up on brunches for both Saturday and Sunday. DC is known for its fabulous brunches, and I’m more than happy to immerse myself in the city’s culture this way!

Currently: Eating my Way Through D.C.
I had to make a spontaneous trip to D.C. this weekend as I prepare for the next stage in my life (I'm terrified and ecstatic at the same time. It's weird). My trip has mainly consisted of going from apartment to apartment to try and find something vaguely affordable (hint: securing housing in a city…
Newport, RI Part 3
My last day in Newport! It started off with a delicious breakfast (of course) and then a sad farewell to the Francis Malbone House. This B&B receives my highest recommendation if you want to stay at a place where you can feel like you're really living the Olde Newport experience! Then we were off to…
