Happy Hump Day! This weekend
I celebrated my 24th birthday with many friends! We kicked off the
weekend by having a few cocktails at Founding Farmers, which is my favorite
place to go for all sorts of occasions! Founding Farmers is a unique restaurant
because it is sustainable, certified green and promotes buying food straight
from the farmers! While I was there I had the Ward 8, made with Founding
Farmers Rye (they have a distillery in Virginia), oranges, lemon juice and homemade
grenadine.
Saturday we headed to the H Street Festival, which is
right down the street from where I live in NOMA. There we danced to live music,
ate Ben’s Chili Bowl chili and made a pit stop at The Liberty Tree to have a
few beers (a few birthday shots as well!) Saturday night we enjoyed our dinner
at Cava Mezze near Eastern Market. I tried the Hendricks Gin Cucumber Martini
which was FABULOUS. I typically don’t like gin or martinis but this cocktail was perfect. My other roommates tried the cucumber-jalapeño margarita, which
surprisingly was very tasty. Since Cava Mezze is a greek tapas, we tried a lot
of items and had fun sharing. My favorite dish was the roasted eggplant (almost
like a hummus), and the mini gyros. We ended the night by having friends over
to house and then spent the night in DuPont Circle.

Sunday morning, although extremely spent from the
previous evening, we made it to our brunch reservation at Logan Tavern in Logan
circle. They have the BEST Bloody Mary menu; you actually are able to pick all
the ingredients!
Heather, my sister and roommate, will be celebrating her 26th birthday this
weekend…stay tuned!
