7/29 Ice Cream!

In honor of National Ice Cream Month, which was created by President Ronald Reagan in 1984, Kimball Office has designated our blog this week as the Ice Cream Blog! Enjoy your summer, and be sure to get yourself a little treat!




New Things To Try In The Area:

Wicked Waffle
Stating that they have soup, sandwiches, and more, Wicked Waffle is reinventing their meals with the waffle! With the mantra: No Butter, No Syrup - simple and wholesome recipes and ingredients are what makes their classic crispy and airy waffles. Our favorite summer treat from Wicked Waffle is the Sweet Brussel Waffle with Moorenko's Vanilla or Chocolate Ice Cream. Along with their dine-in location at 1712 Eye Street NW, D.C. Wicked Waffle also caters for those of you want the "Wicked" experience without the travel.

Circa at Foggy Bottom
The new Circa is now open! This popular Dupont Circle restaurant has had such great reviews that on July 19th they opened another location at 2221 I St. NW. The third installment of this ultra cool restaurant offers a larger bar and outdoor seating area than the other restaurants, for a more social setting. With an extensive wine list, Circe at Foggy Bottom is the perfect after work dinner with clients or co-workers. Our favorites on this menu include: Petite Filet Mignon Sliders, the choice of 3 cheese platter with - Crottin, St. Andre, and the Marieke Gouda, the Watermelon Mozzarella Salad, the Caramelized Jumbo Scallops, and the Circa Steak Frites. To finish off the perfect meal, pick any three of their delicious gelatos! We love the coffee, chocolate, and cinnamon.
