A guide to cherry blossom dining
“If you are heading in from Maryland, stop in Cleveland Park to visit the Palena Market or (starting Thursday) Sugar Magnolia, the new market at Ripple. Either will provide a nice assortment of sweet and savory options direct from their restaurant’s kitchens.”
From The Hill
Mussels from Brussels
“To describe St. Arnold’s as bustling doesn’t quite do the scene justice: Given its relatively meager dimensions — the space feels more like a restaurant’s sidecar sunroom than an entire establishment — it fills up fast and becomes très noisy, even with all its windows opened.”

Ripple
“Ripple does a lot of things right- the atmosphere is lovely, the wine selection and cocktail list is excellent (as well as the bartenders), the staff is friendly and helpful, and the cheese plate was wonderful. However, the food itself was a bit inconsistent and also tends to be a bit pricey. I’ll definitely come back to Ripple, but I’ll take a seat at the bar next time and grab a glass of wine and a cheese plate and leave it at that.”
