Pittsburgh bows to the gods of beer with the fun brew pub, Church Brew Works. As the name implies, it’s set inside a church. Well, a former church — St. John the Baptist — in the Lawrenceville part of Pittsburgh (3525 Liberty Ave, corner of Liberty & 36th).
After the church was abandoned in [...]
Today’s Matchbook comes from Nathan’s in Georgetown (3150 M Street, Washington DC).
Occupying prime real estate at the corner of Wisconsin & M Streets, Nathan’s fashions itself as a neighborhood saloon. The bar has dark walls with lots of wood and brass, and when I’ve been there, there has always been a sporting event on [...]
Today’s Matchbook Monday is from Morton’s The Steakhouse (formerly known as Morton’s of Chicago).
The restaurant chain was founded in 1978, and there are now locations around the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore. You can check the full listing of restaurants to see if there is one in your neighborhood.
As you [...]
Today’s matchbook is a contribution from Shane who writes The Tokyo Traveler.
I wish that I could offer up a little more insight as to the location and cuisine of the restaurant, but you’ll have to follow her blogs posts to learn about the food of Tokyo.
Thanks for the contribution, Shane!
If you have a matchbook [...]
Today’s matchbook comes from the Peking Gourmet Inn in Falls Church, Virginia.
I had nearly forgotten about this restaurant, as it has been a couple years since I visited. I tried it out with a co-worker after recommendations from several passengers. It was farther from our hotel that we understood it to be, and [...]
A recent trip to Portland had me out hopping around some places that have opened up since I had been there several years ago. Today’s Matchbook Monday features one of those places, a Pan American Bistro in the Eliot Neighborhood, Mint.
A visit to Mint actually gives you two options, the more formal dining of [...]
Today’s Matchbook Monday comes from a friend who swears that this is her favorite Italian restaurant in Georgetown — Paolo’s.
The Georgetown location (1303 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington DC) was the original home for Paolo’s, and the restaurant has now expanded to additional locations in Reston and Towson. You can check out the menu here.
I [...]
Today’s Matchbook Monday comes from La Tomate, a family owned Italian bistro in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington DC.
A friend sent me this matchbook and reminded me of many an evening we had spent there with a bottle of wine and a lively conversation. I’m not sure that we ever had a meal [...]
Today’s Matchbook Monday comes from a restaurant located in my home town of Seattle, Ray’s Boathouse (6049 Seaview Avenue NW), in Shilsole Marina.
Ray’s is actually two restaurants in one, with a main dining room that is a bit more formal and traditional, and Ray’s Cafe, perfect for a more casual, and more affordable, bite to [...]
When I’m working, I stay at pretty middle of the road hotels. They are conveniently located near the airport, have most business amenities and services, and all seem pretty much the same. There’s nothing wrong with most of them — but they certainly don’t have any “WOW” factor.
The only time I get a peek at [...]
