BFF from NYC in DC and VA.

Andrea and I told stories at dinner tonight of the ridiculous adventures that were the first 13 years of our friendship. We laughed and so did Sol. We thought we were really awesome and good at everything. In retrospect, we might have been just plain ridiculous.


But the grown up version of these two BFFs are awesome. We are pretty big deals out here on the East Coast, Andrea in New York and me in DC.

I write this knowing that still we may be just plain ridiculous. But we look dang good doing it.

Andrea rode the Chinatown bus from NYC for a mere $9 on Friday afternoon. Free Wi-Fi the whole way! After I picked her up, we headed to Georgetown for dinner and some shopping. I took her to the Tacklebox because everybody should eat there.


Andy did a better job picking out food but was kind enough to share. I ate fried catfish for the first time. Would you believe it tastes like other fried food? Delicious.

We ate healthy Fro-Yo dessert instead of my normal cupcakes. The frozen yogurt is not the TCBY of my childhood but tart, plain frozen yogurt. Apparently in the summer of 2008, DC was swept by a frozen yogurt war so we had plenty of options in Georgetown to pick from last night.

Finally, we finished off the night with a monuments at night tour. I saved us $60 and gave it myself. I know my trivia, and I'm kind of a big deal.

  2. Tacklebox IS great and so is Sweet Green. Is that where you got the Fro-Yo? I frequented both places when I worked right across the street behind Dean and Deluca. Another great place to try-Pizzeria Paradiso. Man, I miss Georgetown but I'm glad you get to experience it now! Oh, and as far as cupcakes go, Baked and Wired is soooo much better than Georgetown Cupcake.

  3. OH yes. It was Sweet Green. And I disagree. I love the proportions of Georgetown Cupcake much better. Baked and Wired is a close second and CakeLove is a distant third. Way distant.
