Tom (and others) have given the place mediocre reviews (at best) - I haven't yet been. What are your thoughts?

My jet lag hasn't let me out of the house much yet. So I haven't been in either.

My partner and I went last month. Our biggest complaint was the seating; not unlike Vapiano, the "chairs" are more like foot-stools...backless and uncomfortable.

We both thought the food was a mixed bag. There were dishes we'd order again, but not always the same ones! For instance, he loved the tempura asparagus while I thought it was tasty but way overcooked. (then again, we can't agree on how long green beans should be cooked either)

I'm guessing we'll be back, likely for a quick-ish meal before a movie at E Street or Gallery Place, but neither of us would want to linger on the uncomfortable seating.

I think Ping Pong is a fun place for drinks. The food is like PF Chiang's or something, good but inauthentic. Everything is reasonably priced, so if you aren't thrilled with the food, it is not much of a dissapointment.

Definitely a Happy Hour option.

You know, I have never ever had dim sum before. I think I need to check Ping Pong. Whatever that is in the picture makes my stomach growl.

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

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...
