It's a beautiful Easter morning. Bright sunshine, flowers and trees blooming, temps in the low 70s. We're heading to brunch at Colorado Kitchen with my aunt and then visiting with friends for the rest of the afternoon. What a fabulous day!

My dear friend Melissa and her girlfriend came down from Philly yesterday so we met them and other friends at a new-ish restaurant in Woodley Park called "Open City." Kind of a coffee bar, regular bar, cafe/diner kind of thing. Food was only okay, as was the service. Makes me think they should decide on what kind of establishment they really want to be and then focus just on that. But then again, Busboys & Poets does all that -- and does it VERY well. Anyway, it WAS a nice space though with big open windows overlooking Calvert Street.
