Jacques of all Trades

I swung by the new Wiseguy NY Pizza at 4th and Mass (really 4th and H) this afternoon.  While I’m not an expert on New York-style pizza, I think this is a great addition to the neighborhood, and it easily slides in among the better by-the-slice offerings in the city.  

It’s also great to have another quick lunch option near the office. In fact, it’s a bit hard to remember what the dining options in Chinatown/Judiciary Square/Mt. Vernon Triangle looked like 10 years ago… a whole lot has changed.  In fact, at that point, Mt. Vernon Triangle might not have existed, outside of the NPR building, Louie’s Rogue, and a bunch of parking lots.

Welcome to the neighborhood!

Grilled flatbreads for dinner last night. Sausage, manchego and marinated red onions in the back, and blue cheese, grapes, honey, rosemary and thyme in the foreground.

A delicious lunch at Menomale in Brookland we split the salsiccia and quatro stagipne pizzas, and i had a hoppy Le Freak from Golden Flash brewery. It’s definitely worth the trip across town!

The Bosco at pizzeria Paradiso. Delicious !

Lunchtime score! Apparently somebody hit up Graffiato for lunch (Restaurant Week visit, perhaps), and offered up he leftover pizza in the office kitchen!

(This is the only Jersey Shore-named product I approve of).  

We had a couple of pretty tasty pizzas—the white pizza (pictured) and the bacon pizza (devoured)—at Pizzaiolo Cafe on Fern, off Quaker Lane yesterday.  

They were an excellent way to follow up the beer tasting at Port City earlier in the afternoon, and Pizzaiolo has a fairly nice beer selection themselves!

A delicious lunch at Graffiato this afternoon, with the pictured broccoli and smoked mozzarella pizza, which I loved, though I’m not usually a big smoked mozzarella fan—I think the fact that they stretch (and probably smoke) the mozzarella in house may help with the special smoky flavor they got.  We also had a classic (melted tomato, garlic and oregano) pizza, and sweet corn agnolotti, which was so delicious it disappeared before the camera came out. 

Seems like chef Mike Isabella has been reacting to the early reviews, too, because our server was as friendly as the last visit, but much less pushy in trying to upsell us.
