mussels are very special to me and ww. on our first date, he took me to Marvin for mussels, and on our one-year anniversary, he made me homemade mussels to recreate our first date. i learned later that he'd never even had mussels before that meal, but heard me mention i loved them when we met. what a keeper, right?

after that night, he quickly learned just how much i loved the food when i began ordering them everywhere we went. it's a good thing he too fell under the spell, or that first date could have been our last.
since then, we have slurped up moules and frites all over the district. most recently, we have been loving Mussel Bar in bethesda which has some seriously unique mussels and an amazing beer list. it is one of our favorite summer spots to sit outside and people-watch. Bethesda Row is also a completely adorable area to wander around.
