Brightest Storefront Ever?

The forthcoming Georgetown outpost of frozen yogurt shop IceBerry (3001 M St. NW) is sporting an eye-catching coat of paint. Kind of nice on a dreary day like today.

And in case you're keeping track, the once fro-yo barren District now offers a plethora of choices including locally-owned spots TangySweet (with a second location headed to Penn Quarter), Mr. Yogato, and salad-focused SweetGreen (with a second location planned for Bethesda).

Canadian chain Yogen Fruz, sampled by President Bush, is planning multiple DC and Virginia locations. Cali Yogurt is setting up in Adams Morgan, and Pinkberry was supposed to arrive this year, but no official word yet.

I used to live right next to the TangySweet! Is there anything in Chinatown that you know of?

There is also another Yogurt place that just open in Adams Morgan, OYeah! Yogurt. They serve forzen yogurt, but they also serve fresh plain yogurt which they make every night. You can top your yogurt with fresh fruit and dried honey. It is really tasty and a nice alternative. It is just down the block from Cashon's on Columbia.

The trend is even bigger than I knew! I like the idea of the fresh yogurt. There's a whole place in Palo Alto dedicated to it:

ENTERTAIN } For The Love Of Salt

Image
I'm bidding a reluctant adieu to summer on this first day of fall and looking back with fond memories on one of the season's highlights — our Summer Salt Fest at the Gordy's Pickle Jar headquarters. Ever since opening Salt & Sundry three years ago, I've been dreaming of a down-home party that celebrates all things salty. With the perfect partners in crime, Sarah and Sheila of Gordy's, and my phenomenal team at Salt & Sundry, we hosted a gathering of good friends and toasted our shared love of salt. The feast included fried chicken, boiled peanuts ( made by my husband !), Rappahannock' s Olde Salt oysters, deviled eggs topped with Gordy's Sweet Pepper Relish, and probably the best fried pickles I've ever eaten (yes, I've eaten a lot) ... Gordy's Sweet Chips and Cajun Okra dipped in roasted garlic aioli. There was crisp Virginia rosé from Early Mountain Vineyards , local brews from 3 Stars and DC Brau , and a watermelon cooler tha

STYLE } Bar Styling Tips with Framebridge

Image
  I've always been noncommittal when it come to putting anything on my walls. Art? Photos? Prints? But what if I change my mind? Add the hassle of framing something and voila, a growing pile of unframed prints and photos gathers dust on a shelf. So I much appreciated a recent gentle nudge from friends at  Framebridge , a DC-based company that's making it easier and less expensive to get those pretty-if-neglected pieces framed and on display. We hung out at my place, whipped up some Green Hat gin and tonics, and I shared tips for stocking and styling your bar at home. (Any old table will do!) And yes, I actually put a nail in the wall and hung a print. Head this way for my full interview with Framebridge . Cheers! all photos by  Laura Metzler Photography  for Framebridge

Hello Cupcake Opens

Image
Cupcakes await the first customers at Hello Cupcake For a sweet spot in this final week of August, head to Hello Cupcake , which opens at 10 a.m. today at 1351 Connecticut Ave. NW. I had the chance to sample a few flavors with owner Penny Karas. The fluffy icing on the peanut butter blossom (above) is seriously addictive, and the seasonal root beer flavor is a delightful surprise with spicy root beer cake topped with vanilla cream cheese frosting. I'm going for a Velvet Elvis, banana cake with peanut butter frosting, next. There are gluten-free and vegan options on the menu, as well. Check out all the flavors here . Metrocurean photo
