Le Diplomate Food Review

Steak Frites at Le Diplomate

Who says TV commercials aren't effective? After watching the Uber Eats spot with (Sir) Patrick Stewart and Mark Hamill, I felt compelled to order dinner. In the ad, Stewart orders Steak Frites from Le Diplomate in Logan Circle. Local mention! And one of DC's most popular restaurants to boot. Even better, one I hadn't reviewed or (shudder) even visited yet. Despite it's hefty price tag ($32 plus a myriad of delivery fees) how could I (or anyone else) resist?

InterContinental Wharf DC Hotel Review

InterContinental Washington D.C. - The Wharf front entrance

Room with a (Majestic) View

It's literally been months since our last post. COVID-19 has turned the world upside down, and DC Outlook is no exception. But life goes on, and we decided to venture out. Cross town, to the District Wharf and the exquisite InterContinental Washington D.C. - The Wharf. The kind of place that transcends the term "staycation" into something sublime. After all, if you're finally going to go out, why not go all the way?

Elevation Burger at Mane Grill Food Review

Elevation Burger with Classic Olive Oil Fries

Restaurants are closing at an alarming rate, due to COVID-19; so the opening of a new one (and a burger joint, to boot) a mere two blocks from home was cause for celebration. Elevation Burger at Mane Grill opened two days ago, on the same day the Smithsonian's National Zoo reopened. Needless to say, I immediately secured a reserve entry pass (available here) and showed up today at 2:30 sharp, to try them out. It requires a bit of a walk (it's closer to the less traveled Harvard Street Bridge entrance) but as I've proven time and time again, I'll go to the ends of the Earth for a delicious burger and fries. Let's see if this first visit was worth the trip...
