Burrata Garlic Bread With English Peas And Brown Butter Recipe
Jun 30, 2014 1:00 pm
Hearty Tuscan fettunta starring creamy burrata
Photo: Andre Baranowski
New York City may be a renowned global food hub. But just north of the Tri-State Area lies the rich, verdant Hudson Valley — home to wonderful farms, cheese producers and craft distilleries (plus restaurants that use the local products to their full use). A new cookbook, Hudson Valley Chef's Table, is a compilation of recipes from beloved restaurants from Westchester to Columbia counties. You can count us in on this one, particularly when fresh butter and burrata is involved.
This recipe for fettunta (the Tuscan version of bruschetta or crostini) comes from chef Christian Petroni at Fortina in Armonk, NY.
Servings: 4 - 6
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 - 4 cloves garlic
Maldon sea salt, to taste
1 cup arugula
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup raw English peas
3 tablespoons vin cotto (you may substitute saba or a 12-18 year old aged balsamic vinegar)
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon sel gris, or to taste
For the fettunta:
- Cut bread into 1/2-inch slices.
- Grill (or broil) until the bread is brown and slightly charred.
- Scrape surface with garlic cloves.
- Saturate the slices with olive oil and finish with Maldon salt to taste.
For assembly:
- Place the slices of fettunta onto plates.
- Divide the burrata onto the slices of fettunta.
- In a bowl, toss the arugula leaves with olive oil and lemon, to taste. Set aside.
- In a small pan set over medium heat, melt and cook the butter until it becomes lightly brown and begins to smell slightly nutty. Remove from heat.
- Place the arugula leaves over the burrata and garnish with peas.
- Drizzle plates and fettunta with vin cotto and brown butter.
- Scatter with sel gris and serve.

Manziell beats out Showers for the starting gig in College Station. Dave Miller
Texas A&M has its replacement for NFL first-round draft pick Ryan Tannehill.
And it's not Jameill Showers as many had expected.
The Aggies announced on Wednesday that head coach Kevin Sumlin has named redshirt freshman Johnny Manziel as the team's starting quarterback for the August 30 opener against Louisiana Tech in Shreveport, La.
Johnny Manziel has won the starting QB job in College Station.
"Johnny has performed the best at this stage and we will proceed until the season opener with him getting the first-team reps," Sumlin said in a press release. "My policy is simple, really: The best player plays. Competition is a great thing and we need more competition at all of our positions. All of our quarterbacks have competed well, and I expect them to continue to push Johnny."
Whether it was his strong performance in last Saturday's scrimmage or his ability to quickly release the football, Manziel was able to win the job over the third-year sophomore Showers, who was Tannehill's backup in 2011, as well as redshirt sophomore Matt Joeckel and true freshman Matt Davis.
In the aforementioned scrimmage, Manziel completed 18-of-22 passes for 218 yards and three touchdowns while rushing six times for 24 yards and another score, leading the offense to touchdowns on four of six drives. He showcased his ability to keep plays alive with his feet and make good throws on the move, and his quick feet will play well in the SEC, where he will certainly face pressure from some of the nation's nastiest defensive lines.
The question now becomes whether the 6-1, 200-pound Manziel is ready to hold up physically for an entire season while facing a daunting schedule with A&M now in the rugged SEC.
Statistically, Manziel should be able to put up numbers this fall because all of Sumlin's quarterbacks have been able to do so in the past no matter where Sumlin was coaching. And Manziel has the prep credentials after starring at Kerrville Tivy High School in Texas, where he was a Parade All-American while earning AP high school player of the year honors in 2010. That season he completed 65.7 percent of his passes for 3,609 yards, 45 touchdowns and just five interceptions. He also rushed 170 times for 1,674 yards and 30 scores.
Highlights courtesy of 247SportsStudio
Maturity-wise, however, does Manziel have what it takes to lead an offense for 12 weeks after an offseason arrest following his involvement in a fight and subsequently providing a fake ID? While I've heard varying details of how that event transpired, you don't see many winning QBs getting involved in off-the-field altercations. Manziel needs to chalk it up as a learning experience, and Sumlin certainly hopes that will be the case. It's not easy being a quarterback in the SEC, and it takes a certain moxie. Sumlin believes "Johnny Football" has it.
How long can Manziel hold onto the starting job under Sumlin and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury?
While the offensive staff certainly would pull the plug if a quarterback is not being efficient and prolific, Sumlin prefers to have one signal-caller leading this offense. This scheme is very much predicated on rhythm, so playing more than one QB at a time is not conducive to productivity. However, Sumlin won't hesitate to make a move to Showers if life in the SEC is too overwhelming for Manziel.
Sumlin obviously feels that Manziel is the right QB for this offense and this team, so he wouldn't have made the bold move unless he felt Manziel had the right ingredients to be productive. Now all eyes will be on the tricky road opener against a Sonny Dykes squad that could be a BCS buster this fall.

Huawei funds Angolan ICT centre
DEVELOPMENT| July 23, 2012, 6:41 p.m.
Chinese ICT giant Huawei has financed the building of an ICT Training Centre at Angola's Technological Training Centre in Angola.
The centre, including eight classrooms and a laboratory, was opened in Luanda last week.
Speaking at the opening, the chairman of the board of directors at Angola's Instituto Angolano das Comunicações (INACOM), Pedro Mendes de Carvalho, said Angola was one of the world's fastest-growing ICT economies.
He said the courses to be offered at the centre would benefit all stakeholders.
He noted that Angola's ICT strategy was now in its second phase – aiming to strengthen its market structure; with phase three – consolidation of African leadership and customer focus – the strategy from 2015.

don't get me wrong i would love to see fedor in the ufc i just don't think there is alot there right now, right now the fights sould be aa than barnett.the only proven hw's are nog and randy(probally done), with lesnar right there a few fights away from top 5 hw status, i beleave he should be in the top 10 by now.if lesnar beats nog that would really move him up in my book.there is some up and comers that show alot of promise like carwin and cain i would love brock to fight them first and see how is the best in the ufc before fedor fights any of them.and mw74 no hard feelings you got me with some good ones had me laughing i like a little shit talk now and again as long as its not hate.
Randy Couture Picks Fedor To Beat Brock Lesnar
Related Posts
122 Comments
Nahhh man. Never hate…that takes too much energy! I got too much to do in a day! And wayy no hard feelings but kool we got it out there in case, you know. I agree on Brock vs cain and carwin, but that is not the situation he's in..he HAS to fight the undisputed top guys . That is why they are paying him so eFF'n much. They didn't want to wait until he develops…on the job training and all, you know? If he gets past Nog,mir(2nd),Gonzaga(no sweat)carwin and cain are gonna have to go through those guys before they get to B….and while I appreciate you not interfering with my Brock man love…there is definitely enough Brock to go around…thirsty?!
LOL..i love it…thirsty…have me laughing on the floor. i totally agree…brock will only get better and if he fights and beats NOG i think in alot of peoples eyes he will gain much more MMA status. Silva i believe might fight Liddell? but thats just a rumor.
Just looking over a couple coments I have to agree with a lot of u but 1 caught my eye. Serge said no matter what fedor does people will still hate on him. Damn stright. Like he said also the best HWs are not in the UFC so going to the UFC he would have nothing to prove. What beat Lesnar and then who? Big Nog for the thrid time? He has 2 solid fights if he stays with affliction. He has AA and then Barnett. Both are consider basically 3rd and 4th best HWs out there. Good Points.
MW74 wow Lesnar would KO gonzaga? I doubt that shit. He may be able to ground and pound a victiory but on the feet no way.Now he would be able to takedown Kongo and lay on him or possible pound him out but on the feet Kongo would KO him or alteast mess him up. I just dont see it and also some of u really think putting Fedor and Brock in the same league makes sense to you. Fedor is perfectly crafted to beat Lesnar. He will kill him on the feet and will submit him on the ground.
Randy said "he" would beat Brock too. Nuff said. Brock will destroy any other heavy weight! The longer he trains the harder it will be to beat him. Come on he has been in MMA for 2 yrs! and he kicked randys ass! He is a true athlete he learns quick. The longer he lingers in the gym the more un-beatable he will become. I mean come on what is randy going to say " fedor will get knocked the f#*k out just like I did"
wow away for one day and i miss like a 40 postathon.
anyone notice no one ever talks about Fedor in a sense of just facts, but only in ifs, whens, whys???
I hate talking about him in general because everything gets overblown concerning him.
Buttt the only thing worth mentioning is that Fedor has tried to find challenges fighting Hong Man Choi, and basically anyone who wants to come to his organization to fight him. He tried to come to the UFC if you check the archives from early 2006 But Dana was a Dick and didnt want to pay him really all that much. They could not agree on the terms of the number of fights on the contract also.
Realistically who besides Brock is their too fight? Its not worth the pay cut to come to the UFC on a 6 fight deal to fight one guy. What is really too bad is that The best fighter on the planet is in the worst weight class on the planet.
From what i understand it was FEDOR and his management that didnt want him to fight in the UFC for many reasons mainly money FEDOR wanted like 1 million plus base pay for each fight guarenteed plus bonuses and NO ONE IS WORTH THAT MUCH MONEY FOR BASE PAY…I DONT CARE IF YOUR SUPERMAN. 500K a fight i could see that because i believe Liddel was getting that or maybe it was a combo of his base and win bonus i dont know but surely not 1mil for base pay thats overboard and affliction is paying him close to this but thats why the will go under like the rest you cant have a fighter payout of 2Mil and only do 2 or 3 mil total for a show your not even breaking even your losing money.
I've been posting facts the whole time. Hong man choi , zuluzino, mark hunt, stop me when you hear a top ten heavyweight …. mark coleman , matt lindland , mirko " I can only beat japanese cans" cro cop . The guy needs to step up and fight. Tim sylvia and Arlovski are steps in the right direction. Even if he doesn't fight in the UFC … Barnett is still out there and he hasn't fought Sergei Kharitonov.(i know his brother beat him twice)
oh man , you guys that say that lesner will beat fedor is a joke. fedor is almost a legend, unbeatable to this point with excellent winning stats. its almost an insult. lesnar is a big strong gorilla, thats all, fedor will chew him up, hes a much better matrial arts fighter…
fedor is the best, fast, agile, powerful, excellent on the ground and on his feet. lesner is a rookie.
no way, he would beat fedor, it would be slaughter lol
Wow, I missed a lot here. Like I said, Fedor/Lesnar would be interesting. They both have strengths. Lesnar has his speed, agility and wrestling, where Fedor has his experience, submissions and striking. On paper, correct me if I'm wrong, it would be Fedor, but who knows. Fedor could be the best, the second best, or the worst. I personally don't care for the arguement, I just think that fight would be fun to watch.
Fedor isnt the second best or the worst. He is the best hands down. Fedor Could NOT be the WORST. That coment deserves beating haha.
dude, really? I was making a point. I know what I think and its not that he is the worst OR second best.
Couture got PUNKED, like all of you maroons who thought Couture was actually gonna WIN. Brock could have hurt him even more at the end, Couture is finished so he should just shuut the f up.
Uh, hardly Josh. Getting punked would imply that Lesnar tooled him for several rounds or just came out and destroyed him, neither of which happened.
At the end of the day, Randy got caught with a solid shot, that's all.
Plain and simple.
I agree Couture got beat up but he didnt get tooled Now HErring got tooled…Randy just lost due to size and strength and speed along with the skills brock has learned were too much for Randy and yes Brock could beat Fedor not likely now but you never no that would be an epic match if it happend but i would like to see this in 3 years but for what its worth it probably will not happen. Brock has along way to go but he has come along way in very very short time he has all the potential in the world to be a great fighter just give him time to develop and we may be seeing another legend in the making.
On paper randy should have put a skirt on lesnar he has better in every area to brocks nothing, but randy got knocked the f*#%k out! An MMA "legend" once said all the stats go out the window once you get punched in the face. Brock is too big too young and too strong. Fedor is just another mma fighter like I said the longer brock is left in the gym the harder he will be to beat. Fedor may look good on paper but when he has too look across the ring at that beef he wont chew him up he will choke! So chew on that jj.
Where exactly has Brock improved? Over the past 2 yrs he doesnt look any better then I would think of him to look. He uses wrestling to control people and he throws a hard punch. His hands dont look very good to me and his ground and pound isnt very vicious either. The last fight with Randy well when you are that big and you land a punch you should hurt your opponent and he did what anyone would do get side control and hammer fist and elbow randy who at the time couldnt really defend himself. Lesnars style really wont change over time. He will always look to strike to set up a takedwon and ground and pound. Can Lesnar outstrike some of the better strikers in the HW division? Not sure and to be honest we may never find out. Every time he gets his bell rung he is just gonna get a takedown and lay on the guy.If Lesnar does try and stand I think he will get put to sleep. People dont really think about it but Lesnars strength is wrestling and he cant really use that in MMA because of his lack of submission defense. His striking is powerful but slow and sloppy. He doesnt have very good head movement or footwork. All those skills will improve a little but not like everyone thinks. Lesnar in 3 yrs wont look much different from what he looks like now. And to even think about saying he could beat Fedor is how tbs puts it "Very Funny".
Fedor is just way too superior to Lesnar in every way. If they fought now there is no way Lesnar could win.
Saying Lesnar would have any chance against fedor is like saying someone like matt sera could upset gsp. Or cote could last 3 rounds with a silva. Or jardine could beat liddell.
wait, that did happen because ANYTHING can happen in mma.
Fedor didn't even dominate Linland when he won and linland is not even a heavyweight. WHO knows? IT's not gonna happend anytime soon with fedor and lesnar anyway.
bottom line with Fedor, fuck his record and forget everything, we all know what pride did for him, but now he has a great opportunity to become a real legend so if affliction doesn't hand feed him lower competition to boost his record and continues to put him against top HW's like they have so far then Fedor can be called a "god" like some ppl on here call him. so if he's able to win consistently over top ranked HW's then Fedor can retire a legend and until then he's just another guy that's over publicized.
I agree im sick of hearing about him but seriously he is the best or 2nd best fighter in the world how can you argue against that at all. You can try anyone can make an argument against him. however just answer these two questions then. Name the other mma HW with over 10 years mma experience who is undeafeated with a belt in an organization who still hasn't ever even had a very close call to losing. Its like saying Anderson Silva is over hyped because he lost 4 matches in his career. If he is overhyped then tell me who the best HW is?

Buyers and the lies they tell: Buyers are not all liars. In fact, most will be straight up with you but often times we back them into corners and make it to where it will be easier for them if they lie (not that we condone that behavior, but it helps us understand them a little better). Also, I think some customers believe it's okay to lie to us because we are salespeople so we MUST lie all the time. Therefore they can lie to us. Having said all…Continue

Question to the forum for advice. Looking at the social spectrum and I see the claims of companies such as Social Ups that have increased FB likes for some dealers to over 120k. That looks impressive, on paper.

Ousted England batsman Kevin Pietersen is reportedly set to resume his cricket career in South Africa within a fortnight.
A day after former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting backed Kevin Pietersen's 'bullying' claims inside the England dressing roon, former South African skipper Graeme Smith too agreed with his counterpart and said the Proteas tried to use it against them to take advantage.
Former South Africa captain Graeme Smith believes that the current squad has an excellent chance of becoming the new world champions.
Former Proteas captain Graeme Smith has been appointed tournament director for the country`s domestic Twenty20 competition, Cricket South Africa (CSA) said on Tuesday.
Former Proteas cricket captain Graeme Smith has praised Jacques Kallis for his honesty in accepting that he could not face the possibility of letting down the Proteas in the run-up to next year`s World Cup.
South Africa`s former captain Graeme Smith has praised the team for regaining the top spot in the ICC Test ranking.
Hashim Amla had big shoes to fill, literally and figuratively, when he took over the captaincy of the South African test team from Graeme Smith, but he has come through his first series in Sri Lanka having ticked all the right boxes.
South Africa great Graeme Smith will not be returning to Surrey next season, the English county announced Sunday.
Hashim Amla will make history on Wednesday when he takes the field as South Africa`s first permanent non-white skipper, helming a team in transition after the retirements of Test greats Graeme Smith and Jacques Kallis.
Australian captain Michael Clarke today said he expects to have a full-strength squad, apart from David Warner, for the upcoming tri-series with South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Senior batsman Hashim Amla was today named captain of South Africa`s Test team, succeeding Graeme Smith, despite speculation that his refusal to endorse the beer brand, which sponsors the team, could be a hurdle in his appointment.
Star batsmen AB de Villiers and Hashim Amla are the leading candidates to succeed Graeme Smith as South Africa`s Test captain. Cricket South Africa`s board meets in Johannesburg Tuesday to make what is seen as a crucial decision after a decade of Smith at the helm.
Former South Africa captain Graeme Smith has no immediate plans to retire despite suffering another serious injury and sending what seemed a farewell message earlier this week.
South Africa batsman Hashim Amla is to replace Graeme Smith at Surrey after the former Proteas captain was ruled out for the rest of the English season with a fractured right knee.
Former South African captain Ali Bacher has said that the team`s current ODI squad captain AB de Villiers should be given the reins of the nation`s Test team, with Faf du Plessis being appointed as vice-captain.
Cricket South Africa (CSA) is reportedly considering four contenders to handle the reins of their Test team for filling the massive vacancy left by former national Test captain Graeme Smith.
Former South Africa Test captain Graeme Smith has reportedly praised Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard following his first ever visit to Anfield on Sunday to watch the club defeat Manchester City 3-2 in their Premier League clash.
Former South Africa Test captain Graeme Smith has said that England captain Alastair Cook has a huge task ahead of him of resurrecting a `stale` team following a dismal winter.
Former South African Test captain Graeme Smith has expressed his surprise at the shock sacking of controversial England batsman Kevin Pietersen, who plays along with him in county side Surrey.

Cheap and Easy Produce
Go to the frozen food aisle to save time and money
|Share on Facebook
|Share on Twitter
By Lisa Browdy
While you can't beat the taste and nutrition of a fresh, locally-grown summer tomato, you have to give props to the ease and affordability of frozen produce, especially this time of year. Some might believe that they aren't as good for you as fresh, but that could not be further from the truth.
Commercially grown fresh produce is often picked before it's fully ripe, to help preserve it during the long storage and shipping process. But this means that vitamins and phytonutrients don't have time to fully develop. In contrast, produce purchased frozen was picked at the peak of ripeness and then protected from heat and light that can degrade some of the more delicate nutrients.
In addition to the great nutrition, frozen fruits and veggies are super easy to use. No washing, slicing or pitting is required – simply open the bag and toss it into your soup, stir-fry or smoothie.
Here's a bonus: You won't have to worry about the produce going bad before you get around to using it if it's in your freezer.
Is the cost of organic produce is an inhibiting factor? Then frozen is the way to go. "You'll find savings and nutrition in the frozen food section, even in organics," says Julia Evans of Whole Foods. "You save money and time, because all the cutting and peeling have been done for you."
I compared the organic frozen mixed vegetables from Whole Foods to a similar conventionally-grown product at the Jewel, and the price difference was only 20 cents. So frozen is a great way to try going organic if you haven't before.
When cooking frozen fruits and vegetables, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- For best nutrition, steam or microwave frozen produce. If you boil them in water, a lot of the nutrients leach out (not a problem if you are making soup, because you'll ingest them through the broth).
- Try to eat your frozen produce within a few months. Even frozen, nutrients degrade over time.
- Choose packages marked with a USDA "U.S. Fancy" shield, which designates produce of the best size, shape and color.
I love berries for their sweetness and their healthy antioxidants. Mixed Berry Crisp is one one of my favorite ways to bring summer berries back to a winter day, and does double duty as a tasty breakfast or dessert. Substitute white whole-wheat flour for the all-purpose flour and no one will even guess, I promise.
And what about canned produce? I have learned that canned vegetables tend to lose a lot of nutrients during the preservation process, but of course they still have most of their fiber. However, Everyday Health says that canned pumpkin and canned tomatoes are the two exceptions to that rule. You won't get that exact summer tomato experience out of a can, but you'll know the nutrients are still there.

During the peak seasons for corn, tomatoes and peaches, we process (cut off kernals, seed, skin, etc.), vac-seal and freeze for the winter. I usually seek out inexpensive "seconds" of tomatoes and peaches at the Oak Park Farmers' Market, and it's excellent to have good quality, organic and local produce throughout the colder months. The price is definitely competitive...but it does require a few hours of work (but then these products are ready to use).

We wouldn't make it with two kids without our frozen broccoli steam packages. 5 minutes to fresh veggies is critical when getting home at 5 and having 20 minutes to get something together for dinner. I buy my frozen veggies in a steam bag at Aldi. Not organic but a complete cost saver: unfrt $2. They have IQF frozen berries too. Great addition to my oatmeal in the morning.

Patrick Modiano Wins 2014 Nobel Prize for Literature
French novelist Patrick Modiano has won the 2014 Nobel Prize for Literature. Modiano, 69, is no stranger to accolades. His previous awards include the Austrian State Prize for European Literature in 2012, as well as a lifetime achievement award in 2010 from the Institut de France. Individual novels have also been recognised, including the highly prized Goncourt Prize for his book "Missing Person". "Missing Person" is perhaps also Modiano's best-known work, though the historical author is quite prolific, with nearly 30 published works so far. If you're looking to read Patrick Modiano books written in English, there are far fewer copies available, but there are still enough to get a great start on his catalog.
While he himself was not born until 1945, much of Modiano's work is nevertheless inspired by the Nazi occupation of France. Much of his finest writing details, down to the minutiae, the lives of regular French citizenry and the impact the war had on their day-to-day lives. His writing's uniqueness comes, in part, from a balance between highly detailed, highly thorough description of the mundane, and a sense of mystery and ambiguity for situations and plotlines. That fondness for mystery has coined him his very own literary term. In France, if a scenario or character is particularly open-ended, it can be said to be "modianesque".
Despite his popularity, prolific output and celebrated success, Modiano himself is sadly not as thrilled with his choice of profession as his fans are. He has stated for the media in the past that his writing is more a curse than a gift to him, that he feels feverishly compelled to write and dreams of being free of the burden.
While perhaps not as well-known as last year's winner Alice Munro, Modiano is nonetheless a more far-reaching choice than some winners in previous years. If you're not familiar with him or his work, you're probably not French – while Modiano is a lesser-known name elsewhere, within his home country he is very famous and widely regarded as one of France's best writers. He prefers to stay out of the spotlight, however, and is a very private person, giving few interviews and attending few galas. As such, books signed by Patrick Modiano are extremely rare, with not a single Patrick Modiano autograph for sale on AbeBooks (which is rare indeed).
Some Modiano titles are collectable, and prices are sure to climb with today's announcement. The most expensive Patrick Modiano book ever sold on AbeBooks was a copy of Remise de Peine. The first edition, limited to 55 numbered copies, sold for £450. I think we can expect to see some more expensive sales in the coming days and weeks.
Modiano is the 15th Nobel Prize-winner of France.

Homer took this photo of a beachcomber and shrimp boat when we stayed on Edisto Island, South Carolina in October, 2010. The shrimp boats would pass by our house each morning and we loved watching them as the sun rose.
Edisto Island is a beautiful, quiet family vacation spot with a rich history. The first known occupants of Edisto Island were the Edistow Indians, members of the Cusabo family of tribes. The Spanish arrived in the 1500's with the English settlers following in the 1600's. Planters grew rich producing Sea Island Cotton during the 1700's until after the Civil War. Many of the plantation sites are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism offers a wonderful vacation experience at Edisto Beach State Park with camping facilities, cabins, nature trails and much more.
I can feel the quiet and peacefulness, Tibby.

A few animal species are capable of vocal learning. Parrots are well known for their vocal imitation abilities. In this study, we investigated whether African grey parrots (Psittacus erithacus) emit specific vocalizations in specific contexts. We first described the vocal repertoire and its ontogenesis of four captive grey parrots. After a comparison with vocalizations emitted by wild and other captive African grey parrots, we observed that only three call categories were shared by all grey parrots populations, suggesting that isolated populations of parrots develop population-specific calls. Then, we artificially provoked ten different contexts and recorded vocalizations of four captive grey parrots in these situations. Parrots predominantly emitted call categories in some contexts: distress, protestation, alarm, asking (i.e. emitted when a bird wanted something from an experimenter) and contact calls. These results suggest that some calls are learned and can be used in specific contexts.

Very well run mature property. Hope to stay again.
Location- This hotel is located at the end of the Boston Public Gardens and a 5mins walk (with suitcases) to the Public Library to catch the bus to the airport.
Boston Convention Tax is added on top of normal Sales Tax Maintenance of the hotel- The bathroom was very tired looking (shower not attached to the wall, sink cracked etc)
Liked our free upgrade thankyou
The first room had water leaking from the heater unit. It caused wet carpeting and leak was right up next to the electric outlet mounted on the side of the heater. The second room could not control the temperature in the room. A fan was provided as a remedy. It required leaving the windows open all night. DC is a very noisy city. The room ran out of hot water a few times. The staff was unable to fix any shortcomings of the rooms. I would not stay there again.
Great location, Clean beds, Spacious room, bath and kitchen. Felt at home. wifi connection was good. Great place to stay in!
It is a pricey place, so a breakfast can be included in this price.
The room was quite spacious and very comfortable for an extended stay.
Very few restautrants in the near vicinity
Having a kitchen was great. We had some tickets to print and there was an office where we could do that which was a big help.
The wifi was spasmodic in our room, we were told it was to do with our phones' security settings but it was a bit frustrating.
size of room, shower, kitchen , huge bed and location
No air con as it had been turned off so it was too hot, however they did provide a fan. Lighting in the room could have been better too.
Location. I stay on the F street side and I am across the street from my daughters dorm and very close to all things GWU. Huge spacious rooms and closets. Real hair dryer. The bed! Comfy beyond words. Free internet.
There is absolutely nothing to complain about.
Breakfast is a bonus in NY hotels and the free coffee and juice in the bar during the day is good. Bar at night has a good atmosphere. Its only 15 minutes from Time Square so good location. Cleaning staff do a good job and the towels and bedding are very clean
Really does need updating as decoration in the rooms is shabby. The radiator cover in our room was broken as was the glass to the wardrobe door. Building works going on opposite meant drilling during the day but we were out for most of it
Location, location, location. Even though WiFi was slow some times, it was complimentary.
I had to keep fiddling with the shower to keep the temperature still, and pressure wasn't amazing when using the shower head. It was a bit warm in my room, but if I opened the windows, the noise from the ventilation system wouldn't let me sleep, maybe it was just my room.
Couldn't have found a better place to stay. Wish all our hotels could be like this one.
Restaurant waiter needs another profession.
Location is great, overall very good value for money. We had a state suite which was large, rather dated but very clean. Would stay there again
The room was very large including a big bedroom area, a preparation area off the bathroom and a lovely little kitchen with a table and two chairs, stove, fridge and microwave. The micro wave was not there upon arrival, but as soon as we asked it was delivered. Another big plus was that any request at all was answered and acted upon immediately.
The heating/cooling system is very old. You get either heating or cooling at a particular time of year, but not both. But, upon request staff came an opened windows and brought up a fan to help the situation. Done immediately!
Proximity to all monuments. Self catering facilities. Space - had nice spacious bedroom and spacious separate lounge.
Very little if anything could be criticised. Enjoyed our stay at State Plaza.
very friendly staff. nice kitchen. cvs next door opens 24hrs and pretty much have everything.
have to go up stairs for elevator.
Close proximity to many sites and locations within easy walking distance. Staff was extremely helpful in many ways.
Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks close to hotel are closed on weekends.
Big room, old hotel totally renewed, good bathroom, good staff..free wifi location..
I think the support guy blocked all routers ports and only opened that one his iPhone uses..I have and Android phone (not a cheap one Apple fanboys) and I couldn't connect to google play, facebook and so on..
Close to Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument and other memorials which are in between. Big and clean rooms although the hotel is pretty old. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Very uncomfortable bed. Loud air conditioning/ventilation machine outside of the building which was disturbing even with closed windows.
although hotel was not full they did not accept late check out without charging for half of day
nice location, near university
Good location and helpful staff.
I was allowed to check in early; spacious room with kitchen; good location
The location of this hotel is excellent for tourists wanting to see the principal sights of Washington DC. The kitchen attached to our room was also a real boon.
