Hi-
As you know, CITYPEEK tries to give you a quick glance at some of the best in town and around. Sunday is Father's Day. For me, as most days, I pause to the heavens and remember my dear, sweet father. But, I am blessed to have a great step father & brother to give gifts to. So, if you are in a similar situation; if you have patriarchs in your life celebrate! But first, some local scoop...

What a fun week we had. CITYPEEK.com sampled over 60 fabulous restaurants @ Zoomerang @ the Maryland Zoo: Some lingering memories: fab lambchops, Fleming's Steakhouse, Sangria, Mia Carolina, champagne sorbet, IXIA, Shrimp Toast-Nick & Nino of La Scala, VIP passed hors d'oevres, Classic Catering, chili-Austin Grill, cookies-Charles Levine, wines-Linganore, my pink dress from OCTAVIA.
