Lunch at Booeymonger
My cousins brought me to Friendship Heights in DC for some shopping. It was my first time to go there and I really liked the area. Too bad we couldn’t stay longer. We did have time for a quick lunch at Booeymonger. Booeymonger is a deli/sandwich shop that is also in Ray Foley’s book “1,001Continue reading “Lunch at Booeymonger”
Lunch at Bob Evans
I don’t eat gourmet food all the time. More often than not I’m quite happy with good old American comfort food. Next to pizza and burgers my favorites include flaky biscuits and chicken pot pie. There are several nationwide family chain restaurants in the US like Chili’s, Applebees, Denny’s and many more. They all serveContinue reading “Lunch at Bob Evans”
Lunch at Chipotle Mexican Grill
I found a new love. A fast food love. I discovered Chipotle and fell head over heels in love with their tacos. In fact I ate at Chipotle twice and in 2 different states. Chipotle Mexican Grill is chain of restaurants that sell gourmet burritos and tacos. Just that. They are known for having aContinue reading “Lunch at Chipotle Mexican Grill”
Lunch at Coastal Flats
I’m not much of a seafood eater. I like it enough but it’s not my first choice when I eat out. That’s ironic since seafood is affordable and bountiful in the Philippines. My favorite seafood is lobster but I hardly see it in the menus in Manila because it’s very expensive. I was in TysonsContinue reading “Lunch at Coastal Flats”
Breakfast at The Original Pancake House
Whenever I go to Virginia to visit my 2 cousins they know my usual request is to eat at The Original Pancake House. I first tried The Original Pancake House in Chicago and Dallas. I’m so glad that Virginia has 1 branch and it’s near my cousin Sharon’s place. We usually go on weekend morningsContinue reading “Breakfast at The Original Pancake House”
Trapper’s Smokehouse at Busch Gardens
There were several dining options at Busch Gardens. There was a buffet, Irish fare, British pub, Italian choices and many more. What lured us to Trapper’s Smokehouse was the wonderful aroma of smoked meats cooking right in front of the restaurant. The food was laid out cafeteria style and there were more than 2 linesContinue reading “Trapper’s Smokehouse at Busch Gardens”
Busch Gardens
The highlight of my trip to Williamsburg, Virginia was Busch Gardens theme park. Busch Gardens was only a few minutes drive from our hotel. It took a longer time to get into the park. It was the beginning of summer and it seemed everyone was at the park. There were lines to get in. TheContinue reading “Busch Gardens”
Colonial Williamsburg
We had to walk after our heavy and yummy lunch and what better place to do that than at Colonial Williamsburg which was one of the top tourist attractions in Virginia. There was a guided tour you can join but we decided to walk around ourselves. Colonial Williamsburg is all about the sights and soundsContinue reading “Colonial Williamsburg”
Lunch at Peking Restaurant, Williamsburg VA
By this time I have been in the US for almost 3 weeks. Not once did I look for Chinese food. I’ve tried Chinese food in Virginia/DC before and honestly it wasn’t worth it. After checking in at Residence Inn it was already 2:00 pm and we were ravenous. We wanted food fast and plentyContinue reading “Lunch at Peking Restaurant, Williamsburg VA”
