There are plenty of things to do during these upcoming months, and we would like to share just a few of our favorites with you! Ah love Oil & Vinegar is the perfect stop to pick out a unique gift for a client or co-worker, which can also be used to cook up some of Ah love Oil & Vinegar's summer favorites! Get some BBQ tips and new recipes at the National Capital Barbecue Battle and test them out on visiting relatives or family friends.

New Things To Try In The Area:
Ah love Oil & Vinegar
Located in the Village at Shirlington, only a 6 mile drive outside of DC, this specialty shop focuses on artisan olive oils and vinegars. All of the products can be sampled and purchased in an array of sizes. Our favorite is the 4 or 6 pack samplers; 4 oz bottles of your favorite picks, that can be mixed and matched uniquely for you. These bottles are so popular that owner Cary Kelly sold over 1000 in the store's opening weekend! Don't have time to stop by the store? All of the items can also be bought online at the Ah love Oil & Vinegar Website. Whatever you try in this shop, it is sure to be a hit with your family, friends, or co-workers!
Oil Vats in the Store.
Our Favorite Product, the Sample Pack.
Be sure to stop by and check out Ah love Oil & Vinegar at 4017B Campbell Avenue, Arlington VA, 22206, which just opened on June 9th.
Cool Things We Love:
This week, we couldn't pick just one thing that we were loving, so we decided to share our favorite places to eat around the Kimball Office DC Showroom, located at 1130 Connecticut Ave NW, Suite 1150.
Pret A Manger
Originating in London in 1986, Pret a Manger is based on the idea that no chemicals or additives are used in their food. Steering clear of the "fast food" conception that people associate with the "carry out" lunch, everything in this express eatery is handmade and natural.
Some of our favorites on the menu are - The Summer Salads, The British Asparagus & Roasted Peppers on Artisan, and their wide range of eclectic Soups.
Pret A Manger is located at 1828 L Street
Mixt Greens
This organic eco-gourmet salad and sandwich shop is the perfect stop for a light summer lunch. Ranging from the Cowboy Salad to the Loafer Sandwich, this menu is so diverse that everyone in your office is sure find something that satisfies their taste buds.
One of our personal favorites is - The Slam Salad consisting of Mixt greens, green papaya, jicama, mango, cucumber, red pepper, fresh herbs, spicy peanuts, and a thai lemongrass vinaigrette. It also is available with marinated tofu!
Mixt Greens is located at 1200 19th Ave NW
Equinox Restaurant
For a more upscale lunch or dinner, The Equinox Restaurant is the perfect choice. Known for its sophisticated atmosphere and menu, The Equinox prides itself on its mission of using community-based ingredients, all from a 100 mile radius of the Restaurant. Its seasonal cuisine creates a new dining menu each month of the year.
Our favorites for the summer are - The Equinox Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes and the Truffled Macaroni and Cheese for Lunch, as well as The Gnocchi of Wild Nettles with Spring Garlic and the Breast of Muscovy Duck with House Cured Confit for Dinner.
Vapiano
With over 30 locations worldwide, Vapiano specializes in casual Italian cuisine, stating that "if you love the European lifestyle, you'll love Vapiano". Calling itself "fresh casual" this restaurant is perfect for stopping by with a client for lunch, grabbing something to bring back to the office, or getting drinks after work. With reasonable prices, a delicious menu, and modern atmosphere, Vapiano is one of our go to restaurants for lunch! Dont want to risk waiting in line?
