A delivery service of fresh vegetables and fruits.
The idea is great, but the prices are very high at $28 for a small box of vegetables and fruits.
They also are in dire need of updating their payment system. Currently, it's a confusing mess of emails you have to send, with a very high likelihood that they will make a mistake.
Once they can fix that kink in their system, I think it will run more smoothly.
They send out a nice email every Monday with their list of veggies and fruits, so that you can choose whether or not to order from them that week.
For the three orders I received from them, each time the veggies and fruits were in superb condition -- even better than what I could get at a supermarket.
Their emails even include a newsletter full of recipes. Most of the time these recipes don't correspond to the vegetables and fruits you'll be receiving, which seems strange.

Chipotle is one of the better places to go if you need a quick bite. There are many vegetarian options such as the bean burrito and cheese tacos. Chipotle uses the right mix of spices in their rice and sauces that really add to the quality level of the food. Service is great for a fast food restaurant and the restaurant is cleaner than the average fast food restaurant.

Nestled right next to the Chinatown Marketplace Gallery metro station, and with two Chinese characters translating to "front and back" you will find the multi-colored themed restaurant Zengo serving Pan Asian and Latin fusion cuisine. The concept sounds enticing and foreign and my best friend and I sought to find out whether this type of fusion cuisine was a "go" or "no go". We ordered several of the fusion sushi rolls containing tuna and yellowtail. The rice on the rolls had an interesting texture and taste and although I have had better fusion rolls, it wasn't bad. However, the wonton tacos and the empanadas were much tastier! The wonton tacos were made of bite sized pieces of tuna and guacamole tucked into a mini rice filled wonton-taco shell. The empanadas were made of shredded pork and topped with a mango chutney. Their fusion mojitos also sounded interesting and looked delightful as well. The trendy ambiance and nicely decorated space makes for a great place for friends or a dinner rendezvous before a night out on the town! On a whole, I would say it's a Zen"GO"!

Solar Cafe is located next to McPherson Square Park. They offer hot and cold sandwiches and small and large salads. I would not recommend the cold sandwiches---they are made much earlier in the day and mine was cold and slimey. The grilled sandwiches and wraps are a better choice--they, too, are made earlier but grilling them makes a huge difference. The salads base of lettuce, spinach or mixed greens are pre-made, then you select the toppings and dressing. The small salad, total cost of $3.25 including tax, comes with a piece of french bread--very good bargain lunch. Solar Cafe also says it participates in the U Promise program, but I have yet to see my U Promise contribution from them.

This park is NOT in the best part of town. It's along the Anacostia River, which is unfortunately rather polluted. This is, however, a very cool place to see lotus flowers of all types. There are some nice boardwalk paths and some more rugged paths. It's still basically a wetlands, so beware the bugs. The nice thing is that this park is hardly ever crowded and can be rather educational for the kids.

Big Planet Comics of Washington DC Incorporated is located on Dumbarton St in the city. They have a very knowledgeable staff that keeps the store in an orderly fashion. Some comic book shops fail to keep their stores in order thus making the shopping experience more like a scavenger hunt. The selection is great and the prices are on par with other shops in the area. If they don’t have something you want in stock just ask them to ee if it is possible to place a special order.

Happy Cleaners has a very cheeful name which brings a smile to my lips but this is generally a very ordinary store. They do all basic drycleaning and usually have fairly quick turn around on basic items like shirts and slacks. The prices are reasonable but everything costs a bit more than I would like in this pricey area of DC. A good place to go for basic services.

Al Tiramisu somehow manages to be a neighborhood restaurant even while catering to a varied crowd. The food is solidly authentic, with homemade pastas that are worth trying. Make sure you ask the price of the daily specials, though, as the servers frequently don't mention them, and you might be in for a shock otherwise. The wine list is a bit pricey but it's well-thought out.
