Restaurant Review: Oyamel Mexican Cocina

Today’s restaurant review is for Oyamel Cocina in the heart of Penn Quarter. I’ve had dinner and drinks at Oyamel a few times, and if you’re looking for an authentic Mexican experience, this is the place. Inspired by Chef Jose Andres, need I say more; Oyamel provides dishes and delicacies not found anywhere else in D.C. I would suggest starting with Ceviche de peje-sol. For main courses, you can’t go wrong with Corvina roja a la Veracruzana, Bistec con mole amarillo y hongos, and Camarones al mojo de ajo negro.  If you’re up for something more adventurous try the Lengua guisada or Chapulines aka grasshopper tacos.  Finally, the mixologists at Oyamel are second to none and will serve up whatever you may be craving in a unique and inspiring way. I’ve linked the picture to Opentable, and suggest you make a reservation soon!

Tacking the Dreaded Bowtie

So one way to separate yourself from the ordinary crowd is impressing people with the bowtie.  Men, women, and everyone in between love it.  Not only will you be the most suave individual at the party, you’ll have the opposite sex constantly complimenting how much they love your style.  Seems like a win-win situation for all.  I’ve attached some links to my favorite places to buy bow-ties. Enjoy!
