"After looking at baby giraffes at Woodland Park Zoo and deciding that you won’t rest until you can own one as a pet, have a relaxing dinner at RockCreek. They have seafood dishes like crudo, shrimp and grits, and grilled filets in a space that feels like a babbling brook. The massive wall-sized photo of the babbling brook helps. No matter what, start with the cauliflower salad and end with a jar of key lime pie." - aimee rizzo
