Clarendon Culture

President Obama dines in Clarendon!

I try to be more of a “follow my journey through Clarendon” blog rather than a “Clarendon News” blog, but sometimes, I just have to report the news - such President Obama having dinner at Clarendon’s Liberty Tavern last night with four of his supporters!  Pictures below, via Liberty Tavern’s Facebook page.

(Edit: I will be writing reviews on the restaurants mentioned in this post later this week.  This post is just meant as a brief introduction.)

Friday

Homemade fettuccine alfredo and a great bottle of wine;

Saturday

Dinner at Liberty Tavern, completely random craving for a cake pop (which Starbucks surprisingly delivered on), drinks on the Whitlows roof terrace, then the Correspondents’ dinner;

Sunday

Brunch at Ulah Bistro (thanks to the great recommendation by Bitches Who Brunch) with Alla & co., amazing baja style tacos in Alexandria, and spending the night glued to our screens with the news of Bin Laden’s death.  Our military and president are badass.
