There's this new bar that I love, called Community. I went there with some friends on January 1, 2011, and they had a stack of post its, a couple of markers, and a large wall to post your new year resolutions on. So I did. A couple. So did my friend, Caroline, and some strangers. Below is a selection...
I love this bar for three reasons.
1. The people - the bartender Mark is awesome and was drunk the last time he served me alcohol. The manager is Bob and he is an AMAZING cook who just has this personality that makes total sense for someone who runs this kind of establishment. He's a flirt. Ladies love him. I love him.
2. The food - OH MY GOD. So it was January 1st and the bar was pretty empty and I asked if Bob was running a full kitchen. He came over and said he had only prepared one thing since it was the day after new years eve and he was hungover and it was for his lady, but he would get me a plate if I wanted. It was amazing. And then the next time I went to Community, I had the best steak of my life.
3. The drinks - The Moscow Mule. First time I had this, Mark was drunk when he made it and I almost stopped him because he poured so much vodka into it. But then I tasted it... DELICIOUS! Vodka, ginger beer and fresh lime juice. Perfect.
We're getting to the end of January, and I'll be in DC soon for the Teach For America 20th Anniversary Summit. Can't wait.
