I'm Bill Adler, a former New Yorker (born and raised in Manhattan), but a happy, transplanted Washingtonian. I'm writer by profession, and an avid eater. I find every restaurant experience a good one, even when things don't work out the way I expected them, too. After all, eating is an adventure. My wife and I publish the Cleveland Park Listserv, which is the DC's largest neighborhood email list.
