March 2023: DC

DC travel

Spring break brought me four days of experiencing DC, enthralled by cherry blossom themes and all kinds of art. I spent most of my time bouncing around museums, catching fun restaurants, and gazing at gorgeous painted ceilings. Feel free to live vicariously through these photos, bursting with color and light.

dare I say, the most amazing meal I've ever had? serving dishes combining typical homestyle with an elegant twist. we had chicken parm "florentine" with gruyère, "french dip" pappardelle with flank and horseradish, and truffle mac. best leftovers ever

the best tacos I've had in my life. roasted duck with tamarind glaze, sesame ribeye, pork belly in arbol chili sauce, and chorizo with chimichurri. and yes, looking up the menu for the descriptions made my mouth water.
