Coffee with Bill
I have this kind of Saturday ritual. I am always up early. I am up early everyday; not much of a late sleeper. On Saturday morning I take the time to make filtered coffee. Between boiling the water, grinding the beans and the drip it is about a 20-minute process…but, oh so worth it! I love coffee! After my first cup, I always check my friend Bill Cunningham’s weekly video column "On The Street." in the NY Times, to see what he is up to each week. Bill has been documenting the New York fashion and social scene for over 30 years. Filmmaker Richard Press and Philip Gefter have recently made a wonderful documentary of Cunningham’s life and determination to show real people in real cloths and real fashion. You can catch the film at either the E Street Theater or the Avalon Theater. Go check it out and let me know what you think.
And speaking of coffee, I have been buying a lot of coffee beans from small artisanal roasters in and around San Francisco. Here are 3 of my favorites:
Blue Bottle Coffee
Ritual Roasters
Bare Foot Coffee
All 3 of these have online stores so if you are coffee crazy like me these are 3 new coffee fixes for you to try.

Three Great Places To Eat In Washington DC Right Now
I am all for great new restaurants and DC is one of the best cities for foodies. But, I always find that if you wait about 6 months after a restaurant opens and let it get in the rhyme it's the best time to go.
RED ROCKS FIREBRICK PIZZERIA
1036 Park Road Northwest
Washington D.C., DC 20010
(202) 506-1402
Red Rock, which specializes in firebrick pizza is on the fringes of the ever developing Columbia Heights neighborhood. You can smell the incredible aroma a block away, I couldn’t live near there it would drive me nuts and I would weigh 600 pounds. Every pizza is delicious and unique. The staff is friendly. The small bar is great to hangout and wait for your table. They have Boston Logger on tap. And they have great brunch with eggs, bacon and cheddar cheese all cuddled on top of the slightly sweet pizza dough. YUM!
CORK WINE BAR
1720 14th Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20009
(202) 265-CORK
This Washington institution has been going strong for 4 years now and just keeps getting better and better. The wine list is more international. The food is small plates and the crowds have died down just enough that you can actually get a table. They only take reservations for the early part of the evening and if you can snag one of the two tables in the front bay windows, order a Spanish wine and their pan-crisped brioche sandwich, it’s a little bit of heaven. Call me the next time you are going and I will meet you there.
DANGEROUSLY DELICIOUS PIES
1339 H Street Northeast
Washington D.C., 20002
(202) 398-7437
On the ever changing and sometimes too slightly hipster, H street corridor is Dangerously Delicious Pies. Serving both savory and sweet pies and a damm good cup of coffee you will want to try them all. I went with a group of friends and each of us ordered something different and played the game of 'pass the pie'…the coconut chess pie reins supreme. They are open until midnight on the weekends, plenty of time for pie in your face.
