Kimball Office has been working hard this summer! With the Midsummer Night's Green Event, showcasing Kimball Office Furniture, coming up next week, we decided to take a quick breather with some refreshing summer treats. Just for you, we have included a simple recipe for delicious fruit popsicles and the best stops in DC to cool off with some invigorating snacks. Need a midweek pick-me-up? Be sure to try Oh Fish!, opening Wednesday the 20th, for a new take on made-to-order sushi. On behalf of Kimball Office, we hope everyone is enjoying their summer, and staying cool!
In The News!:
Recently, Kimball Office has been in the news three times! First in OFDA'S Magazine, OFDealer ran a project profile on the Kimball Office select dealer that managed the University of Southern Illinois Project. Kimball Office was also featured in two different articles by MMQB, the first about Kimball Office's involvement with BIFMA and the effect this is having on GSA orders, and the second covers our new products introduced during NeoCon. Georgy Olivieri, Director of architecture, design, and sustainable strategies at Kimball Office was quoted in the article discussing GSA orders, along with Kay Sargent, Principal at IA Interior Architects, DC.

New Things To Try In The Area:
Oh Fish!
Set to open on the 19th or 20th of July, Oh Fish! is the sushi version of Chipotle. An assembly line allows customers to custom make their own sushi, perfectly fitted to their taste. Listed below is Kimball Office DC's perfect sushi roll order at Oh Fish!:
1. Roll Size: We prefer the 8 fat rolls to the skinnier ones with less rice.
2. Protein: The showroom is 50/50 on the Spicy Tuna and the Crispy Shrimp, while the Eel is another option.
3. Three Veggie Fillings: With picks like avocado, cilantro, and pickled pineapple, you cant go wrong with any of the fresh fillings!
4. Sauce: The Spicy Mayo sounds delicious, as does the spicy Tomato.
5. Toppings: Crunchy Rice Balls and Sesame seeds are the perfect topper!
Oh Fish! also has some creations already put together on their menu. We are dying to try the "Suki Suki"- Shrimp Salad, avocado, citrus-soy sauce, and crispy panko crumbs.
To view their entire menu, click here.
Oh Fish! is perfect for grabbing a quick bit to bring back to the office, or bringing lunch to a client. To find out more information about this new restaurant, you can call them at 202.223.1818. Currently, the restaurant will be opening at 1109 19th Street NW, D.C., with plans to open a second location at the Foggy Bottom Whole Foods in September.
Virtue Feed and Grain
This new restaurant, which opened on June 10th, is located just outside of D.C. in Old Town, Alexandria. Virtue is a casual tavern with a modern twist, serving fare such as Steak and Chips and Scallops with Risotto. Virtue Feed and Grain is a more casual restaurant than its sister restaurant, Restaurant Eve, which also located in Old Town, Alexandria. Virtue is a perfect stop for a more modern or adventuresome client, coworker, or family friend.
Virtue Feed and Grain is located at 106 South Union Street, Old Town Alexandria
