After giving a lousy review to the Decoy Lounge - I must say that the event that took place there was excellent. The evening was themed "Arabian Nights" and was put on by a group called Belly Dance for Life. My friend is part of this - she has been engaged in this activity for about 6 months. http://www.bellydanceforlife.com/ It was very entertaining - you could tell the women who have been doing this for many years - they have a sort of a lean, muscular torso which is a signature look for these women. These women had amazing control of their bodies - from being able to vibrate their entire body without looking like they were doing anything - to twitching specific body parts effortlessly. There was an element of sensuality and eroticism to the dancing. It was very enjoyable! I think I need to marry a veteran Belly Dancer! I was asked to take a lot of photos to forward onto the woman who is their dance instructor. I must say it's damn hard to get a good photo of Belly Dancers - just when you think you are going to get a good shot - they whirl and move and so you try again. I think I took about 10 photos for each decent one I managed to snap. read more

Shakespeare Theatre Company

It has been a long time since I have been to a musical. I had been eyeing this one for a hot minute…read moreafter seeing the ads for it. My one colleague had just seen it and told me it was a great show. I was sold, bought my ticket to attend after work one day and the rest is history. I had no idea this was part of the Shakespeare Theatre Company, let alone a theater to begin with. I have been near here on several occasions and just walked on by. The building in unassuming from the street. But then when you enter, you definitely know it is a theater. A hallway takes you to the lobby area and signage lets you know which side of the theater to enter. In the lobby area there are a couple of different areas, merch, snacks, drinks. Some small seating and entrances to the restrooms. The actual theater, not a single bad seat in here. And, if you were like me and went by yourself, there is one row that has a single seat, accommodating to say the least. I saw '44 the Musical' and I have not laughed and had a song stuck in my head from a musical in a long time. The show was great, the cast was amazing, and I am still humming along to the song since I have seen the show.

Great theater running both Shakespeare and non Shakespeare productions. Another peek of living in…read moreDC.

This was an interesting experience. First time hearing about this event. It was quite busy on the…read morefirst day and loud. We went right at opening and was able to get parking on the lawn, which was managed by police and volunteers. Outside has tents for frappes and some desserts. The main hall has seating and vendors all around. Walking through the hallway leads to the main kitchen area where there are two lines - one for actual food and the one in the back just for desserts. Both can take a while. If you're there with two people, I would split up here. Finding seating is the next problem as it rained during this time. But it cleared up and most people took it to go. The live music was loud, but you wanted that because of how many people were there and talking. They do serve alcohol on premises and they had a "Bar" corner. Fun experience for the area and while you're driving around, you see some nice houses.

They have multiple outdoor areas with tents for food options like the coffee (frappe) and it can be customized according to your liking. There's Loumoumades which were well cooked, fried so it's crispy enough and also enough honey/syrup. There's other food too when you go inside and we managed to catch the dance performance at the stage. This church hall also has a flea market and multiple vendors. And there's a large area/section towards the back where there are pastries and other goodies to buy like Greek pasta, candy, coffee bags, etc. Even though the lines can seem long, they actually do move pretty quick. There was also pistachio ice cream this year with the Greek sour cherry spread on top reminiscent of what I'd enjoy when I travel to Greece. The parking lot does tend to fill up pretty quick so folks can do street parking, and they have volunteered directing crowds as well.

Saint Sophia Greek Festival

The Saint Sophia Greek Festival is a pleasant little community experience. This event takes place…read moreacross 3 days and I recently attended during the day with the kids. It's pretty tiny but somehow we ended up spending about 4 hours here, mostly because of my kids. There is a small indoor portion in the church, where there are various vendors mostly selling women's jewelry. That is about 80% of the vendors at least when I visited in 2025. There was a stand selling great olive oil and olives (both of which I purchase) and a stand selling the delicious Greek desserts I basically ate every day while I lived in Astoria, Queens (one of the largest Greek communities in the US). The ladies at the bakery were so friendly, even offering my son a cookie for free (and of course he takes the entire box!). Outside, there is another bakery (with about 4 times the size of the line), and other food stalls. We got a lamb gyro with tzatziki and it was out of this world. There is a tent with music, where some people were dancing and an occasional singer or band would rotate in and out. Also in the tent was a drink vendor where my partner and I enjoyed a glass of white wine on a very hot day. The kids were drawn to the bouncy houses, which included some traditional ones and a blow up slide. It cost $10 per child for use all day. They certainly got their money's worth! There was a sign for face painting and pony rides but I did not see either and the ladies working the desk didn't know when or if they'd actually show up. Overall, a very relaxing spot. Don't expect a huge festival but a relaxed afternoon out or evening. There is also a lovely flower vendor that is a nice place to wander or buy flowers for the spring.

Miller Farms

Ventured here today looking for some fresh fruits and vegetables…read more Was happy with the selection for today. Picked up some yummy fruits and veggies. Was excited to see seeded watermelons and seeded grapes! We also grabbed some jelly's and apple butter. The Apple Butter took me back to Sunday mornings breakfast at Grandmas. The bakery side had a variety of yummy treats from doughnuts, pies, cookies and cakes. Definitely grabbed a few for later. The Apple Pie ice cream my hunnie ordered was delicious. Tasted just like Apple Pie. Looking forward to our next adventure here already.

I visited the nursery section only and the variety was impressive. I found most of what I was…read morelooking for which was a win. However the service was very hit or miss. The woman who checked us out was an absolute delight, warm, funny, and exactly what you hope for at a local farm stand. Unfortunately my experience in the herb section was the opposite. When I asked about strawberry plants and was told they didn't have any, I mentioned I was a first time gardener and asked if she could recommend something beginner friendly. Her response was essentially "just pick something, all you have to do is water them." When I explained again that I was new and looking for guidance, she told me she couldn't help me. As a first time gardener trying to learn, that kind of dismissiveness was discouraging. If it weren't for the lovely woman at checkout, I likely wouldn't return. I ended up going to Ed's Plant World in Brandywine where the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful to a beginner. The difference was night and day. That said, I'm giving 4 stars because the place is really awesome in terms of selection and variety. The woman in the herb section may have just been having a bad day. It's absolutely worth checking out.
