Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

I think @baltimoron got the major ones. There aren't any stores worth checking, but Woodberry Kitchen is standard farm-to-table new American fare, and Le Comptoir du Vin was just featured Bon Appetit's top 10 new restaurants list

Federal Hill: Abbey's Burger (MTO burgers with multiple meat options and Belgian beer on tap). Rayleigh's Oyster Bar next door is good as well.

Woodberry Kitchen always good as is Brewer's Art.Their Resurrection Ale is one of my favorite beers! Akbar's for excellent Indian food. It's right across the street from the Afghan place owned by Hamid Karzai's brother.

You guys have recs for food spots near Johns Hopkins? Sister wants to do a campus visit in a few weeks.

Also if anyone has recs for DC eats that’d be great too since she also wants to do Georgetown.

Nu Vegan Cafe next to Howard, if it’s still there.

Martin's Tavern in Georgetown is always worth a visit.

Martin's Tavern, a Georgetown tradition since 1933

The historic service, authentic ambiance, and savory comfort food at Martin’s Tavern has remained a Georgetown favorite for nearly a century.

Brewer's Art isn't too far from JHU. As far as stuff in the immediate vicinity, unless things have changed in the last few years, none of it is really worth patronizing.

For Georgetown, go to Stachowski's for sandwiches, and if your sister wants cupcakes, go to Baked&Wired and not Georgetown Cupcakes.

@#dadcore Ekiben for a quick Asian fusion bite, Thames St. Oyster House for seafood/raw bar, Max’s Taphouse is a must if you like beer but pass on the food. All are in Fells Point and a short walk along the waterfront from Harbor East but you’ll want to take an Uber if you’re downtown Inner Harbor. There’s an Abbey Burger in Fells as well.

Johnny Rad’s in Canton has the best pizza in the area. The Helmand in Mt. Vernon for excellent Afghani.

Wake me up when there’s a Unionmade class linking of the flame

Let the fire consume that one.

Isn’t that a Vetements sweatshirt

 

[FrankCowperwood]

It is. I went to look at the Barney's site and so of course clicked on Vetements. Why not?

If the tee's not your thing, then there's this:

Also, really how motivating does Barney's think 5% off is on this stuff?

I don't get out of bed for less than 40% off.

Look, terrible decisions led to this point (also, the market, but also, terrible decisions). What makes you think that the terrible decisions should stop now?

y'all out here selling used clothes at 95% of the retail price and wondering why barneys starting a sale on brand new clothes at 5% off
