Weekend Brunch in Washington, DC
I don’t know if it’s a New York thing or a ‘me’ thing but I’ve never really explored the surrounding cities outside of the Big Apple. My recent trip to Dubai reignited my wanderlust and I decided to spend the weekend doing something random and out of state. So I booked an Airbnb 15 minutes from where I wanted to explore and that ended up being in Arlington, VA, a charming town with a unique vibe. Little did I know Virginia was just a stone's throw away from the bustling city of DC! Don’t be like me. Get out and explore different places, near or far, to avoid missing out on eye-opening experiences that could surprise you.
My voyage started the following evening when I arrived just in time to check out an event. Afterward, I visited the new lounge that recently opened, called ZOOZ Cocktail Garden. Listen, I’m already planning my next visit solely to update the blog because I feel like I've let you down by not sharing the photos! I refrained from taking many pictures as I preferred living in the moment. Nevertheless, words inadequately capture the sheer beauty of the place, ensuring that another visit is definitely on the cards.
That following morning, I made my way towards the Resident’s Cafe & Bar with a sense of anticipation. As I approached, my surprise grew upon noticing a line of eager customers eagerly awaiting the opening. The sight of the bustling line reassured me that the food served here must be worth the wait!
I sampled a variety of dishes off the menu, including the delectable French toast bites, the delightful smashed avocado toast, and the flavorful merguez sweet potato hash that was both savory and absolutely delicious!
My bus back to New York wasn’t until 5 pm that evening, so I had plenty of time to kill after having breakfast. Fortunately, just a few blocks away, there was a Swinger’s Indoor Mini Golf to consider for a leisurely retreat. The colorful course nestled amidst the bustling city offered a whimsical escape, beckoning me to trade urban clamor for a moment of lighthearted fun.
