Summer is a time to enjoy the great outdoors - whether that means spending the day doing sporty activities or enjoying the sights and sounds of the city at night.

One of my favorite things to do on a summer night is go to a nice patio in the city and watch people go by.  D.C. has a few neighborhoods that lend themselves beautifully to the art of people-watching. What makes a good people-watching spot?  A place you can sit comfortably, enjoy your favorite food and drink, and watch a bustle of stylish people go by without being noticed :)

We spent one recent balmy summer night enjoying the grub @ Matchbox in 8th St. Corridor, SW - I love their sliders and my hubby loves their Fire & Smoke pizza.  Definitely check it out sometime if you haven't already!
