Wings-N-Things (Washington, DC, July 4th weekend 2009)

Bar Louie, Washington, DC located on 7^th Street, NW, was a great spot. My wife and I stopped by for appetizers and cocktails, pretty much taking a break from all the walking around we did visiting the attractions. This was the perfect spot b/c we were not too far from the firework show being held at the National Mall. I ordered barbeque chicken wings, didn’t really wanted a lot b/c we were eating throughout the day and the table required a food order which was cool. This spot was really nice, flat screen TV’s placed all around the bar, the waiter was nice and overall, really cool spot to lounge out at. The wings were pretty good and I also ordered a mojito too, this restaurant makes really good mojitos. I was very much satisfied and I give this spot a 4. I would give this spot “A Couple of Reviews” stamped approved from me, Husband.

Our Weekend in Washington DC

Ok, off-topic but fun were the various events we attended July 4th weekend the Independence Day Parade we attended on July 4th in Washington DC. It featured acts from various different culture\ and iconic figures of the US. We both enjoyed it and would love to share a few shots and video from the parade.

The monument in DC. It was awesome to see this up close with so many people next to us, behind us. It was unforgettable!

Benjamin Franklin and Elvis Presley. What a pair!

These girls from Brasil gave the school bands a run for their money. They were really good.

A sight to see...unexpected but the Washington, DC train station is something
to see specially if you're from New York.

No gracias (Washington, DC, July 4th weekend 2009)

Ceiba in Washington, DC, located on 14th street, NW was an experience. They serve Contemporary Latin American cuisine. The décor is nice and the location is right in the heart of the city. It seem like this spot had all the fixings of being a sure shot. Sadly, this isn’t that kind of place. I ordered the Grilled Free Range Chicken Breast and it came with Peruvian Fried Rice, Aji Amarillo, and Sauce Huancaina. It was good, the meat seasoned well but I could have gotten a lot more food for the price paid. The food wasn’t really my issue; it was really with the mojito. If you know anything about how a mojito should be, the very first taste will let you know if the person responsible for making it knows how to do it. I was extremely disappointed with the drink and the waitress was alerted. She had the bartender make me another one and even the second one wasn’t all that great either. Overall, I am giving this restaurant a 2.5. This spot isn’t getting “A Couple of Reviews” stamp of approval from me, Husband.
