The Package Tour - June 14th, 2013

Last Friday night, all of my 90s - early 2000's dreams came true, in the form of the Package Tour: featuring NKOTB, 98 Degrees, and Boyz II Men.  I don't care who you are or what your musical tastes are, there is no way you could hear any of their songs and not want to sing along and dance!   Unfortunately the lighting wasn't great for taking photos on my phone, but it was an awesome night with my friend R, filled with so many fun dance moves and cheesy ballads... I loved every minute! 

And yes, that's a shirtless Jordan Knight, hot hot hot.

Shake Shack - F Street Concretes

Yesterday, Shake Shack's F Street location in DC officially opened its doors!  One of the exciting things about a new Shake Shack location is that each one has their own specific signature concretes.

The concretes at this new location are:

- Beltway Blonde - Vanilla custard, cheesecake blondie, salted caramel sauce and banana.
- Doughnuts are Forever - Vanilla custard, Astro Doughnuts coconut doughnut, strawberry jam and rainbow sprinkles.
- SMORSEcode... - Chocolate custard, marshmallow sauce and graham crackers from Pollystyle.

I cannot wait to try these out!!! I have to admit that it breaks my heart to see a coconut doughnut of all things in the second concrete... sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh.  Maybe I can try it without the doughnut, or better yet BYOD?

Update: I did try the Beltway Blonde and Doughnuts are Forever with my friend ME last night, and they were AWESOME. Look for the blog posts about those coming soon!

Shake Shack - F Street Opens Today!

Woohoo, a new Shake Shack location in DC opens today! This one is in the International Spy Museum complex, right by the Gallery Place/Chinatown metro.  I already frequent this area for movies, Verizon Center events, and meals, so I am super excited to have a Shake Shack join the area. This really means that I have an even better chance of trying the monthly custard flavors, haha. I look forward to seeing their location-specific concrete flavors like they have for their other restaurants!!
