"In the season premiere, veteran housewives Karen Huger, Candiace Dillard Bassett, and Wendy Osefo meet at the French restaurant on U Street during happy hour. Although Osefo opted for water as she was observing Lent, Huger ordered a glass of champagne while Dillard Bassett sipped on the “Threat Level Midnight” (RedWood bourbon, honey citrus tea, ginger beer). Audiences didn’t see if the trio ordered food, but diners can find truffle fries, shishito peppers, and sushi rolls on Baby Shank’s happy hour menu." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb

"U Street’s sushi-centric newcomer plans to offer a $65 four-course menu, and its Dupont sibling Le DeSales plans to serve its regular menu with NYE specials sprinkled in." - Vinciane Ngomsi
