The Real DC

I have to plug this article in the NY Times that talks about our neighborhood, U Street.  I had a bit of hesitation because the headline picture is of the overrated restaurant Marvin, but I feel the greater good of spreading national news about our neighborhood should be served. Also, whenever I read a NY Times article about DC it is SO FRUSTRATING because it is clearly written by a NYC convert who thinks that every city is aiming to be like NYC (not true BTW New Yorkers). But, enough griping. The slideshow is nice and the article gives a decent history of our 'hood. 

We've been to almost all of the places mentioned in the article including Sweet Mango Cafe, Marvin, Granville Moore's and even was a big fan of Ms. Clarke's Colorado Kitchen. (Ms. Clarke if you are reading this please tell me where you get that damn good sausage.) Maybe I am still smalltown, but it's so cool to see places you've been in a national paper.
