I ate in excess at XS!

O-M-G…I was in Baltimore this weekend running the Bmore 5k (holla!) and I discovered an amazing restaurant. I have already acknowledged that I am a self-proclaimed fatty, and absolutely love to find new eats. I must give credit to my friend Ron who put me on. XS is a neighborhood gem of Baltimore, and as quoted on the website, specializes in coffee, sushi, and cocktails. As random as that sounds, this really is a restaurant that specializes in a wide variety of foods. Check out their menu

After knocking my socks off with their amazing turkey breakfast meats and chicken sausage…they still didn’t cease to amaze me with their SUSHI! mmm mmm the specialty rolls were the best!

Their FOUR floors of seating, multiple bars, and great music are just some of the highlights. This is definitely a must-try place….take it from me…the girl who tried it four times in one weekend 🙂

Rainy Weekend Must-Do’s

Rain has been in the forecast since the beginning of this week, and has no plans of leaving until after the weekend. If you are as “over it” as I am, Don’t fret! In such a Fabulous city there is always something to do…rain or shine! There are a few activities on my to-do list that I will be considering for this rainy weekend.

After a hard work week, the ideal thing would be to sit back and relax at the spa. When you think it doesn’t get better than the spa…wait till you try the spa that serves FREE mimosas…holla!!! At Mimosa Salon and Spa when you get a massage on Sundays they also offer free mimosas if you choose. The spa is centrally located near Dupont Circle on Connecticut Ave. It appears to be a one-stop shop for hair, nails, waxing, and massage services. This is the ideal form of relaxation on a rainy weekend.

Rainy weekend date nights are the best! And, what better way to spend an evening out, than going to a FREE and entertaining event. At the Shakespeare Theater Company they offer free shows…I repeat FREE shows to watch their classic theater performances. The “free-for-all” performances are during various times throughout the week and open to the public. Being conveniently located at the Gallery Place/Chinatown metro stop is just the icing on the cake!

Last but certainly not least, for a gut-busting time you have to catch the Drag Show at Perry’s during Sunday Brunch. Perry’s began as the “new wave sushi bar” and now it has progressed to being well-known for its sushi and traditional American cuisine. Despite the fact, eating any day at Perry’s is a great experience, Sunday is considered the best! There is a Drag Show during their brunch buffet from 10am-3pm, and is a guaranteed good time. I have been advised come early and be prepared to stay late.

I will not let this rain stop me from enjoying another Fabulous weekend in the city. I have my weekend plans set…now what are yours?
