City Girls World Dishes on Farmers & Fishers

asimons — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 15:47:03 +0000

Farmers & Fishers is tickled pink by rave reviews from DC’s premier online survival guide for the modern, cosmo woman. City Girls World is an all encompassing blog run by two friends, Jess and Christie, that gives the real dirt on anything and everything the District has to offer. The ladies indulged into our chocolate-dipped bacon lollis AND the chocolate-dipped donuts while enjoying the scenic view from our fountain-side patio. We were especially pleased to hear that they “are delighted good food has finally FINALLY come to the waterfront”. We’d have to agree- they’ve left us blushing!
