"To some, Vernick seems like a special occasion restaurant. And it is special—reservations typically book up weeks in advance. But if you work or live nearby, you might already know that it’s easy to get a table—just how up close to 6pm—and that the most romantic seat in the house is at the candle-lit bar area up front. You can watch the bartenders work their magic, say something kind of embarrassing in a lounge seat, and order the blue crab toast." - candis mclean, alison kessler
