I am looking forward to this year’s Juneteenth celebrations, for more reasons than one. “Opal Lee and What it Means to be Free” is one of those reasons. Teaching my three-year-old about the importance of Juneteenth is crucial to her education and this is one of my favorite ways to convey a message, through books. […]
JKGF is bachelorette party bound and what better way to do a proper send off than with the booze of our past?!

With the tons of festivals popping up these days, it can be difficult to choose just one. For those living in the D.C. area who can appreciate a good Cardi B lyric or two, Broccoli City Festival should be added to your docket of local festivals to attend. The energy is young, chill and urban. […]
Live bands are normally hired to perform at weddings, parties and corporate events. As a matter of fact, a live band is more entertaining than a DJ. This is because it makes the occasion you are throwing to be memorable. Besides that, it helps in setting the mood of the event. The quality of performance […]
Cruise ship casinos have become a new form of classic service within the recreational offerings of physical casinos to become the main attraction on some transatlantic ships.

‘Tis the season to drink good wine. Fine, Austrian wine to be exact. JKGF has not traveled to Europe in what feels like forever and even longer since we sat on Sigmund Freud’s couch.

A good bottle of wine is a good bottle of wine, no matter what the cost. This is the opinion of JKGF. Good wine does not have to cost you a life savings. As a matter of fact, it can and should cost you under $20 if you subscribe to brands such as Los Vascos. […]

Living in DC for close to 20 years has allowed me to see a complete transformation of the Chinatown and now Penn Quarter neighborhoods. There was a time when the only good Indian food was found at Rasika in Penn Quarter and now that has changed. Karma Modern Indian opened its doors in late 2017 […]
Summer in the District equals plenty of outdoor activities…with drinks, of course. Marvin is always a good place to stop for a beverage or two and with their summer menu, it should make your roundup. I visited at the top of summer to see what new concoctions they have for #Summer19 and here are three […]
