Wow - I came over to Rockville Patch to check out if you guys recommend the restaurant we're maybe hitting tonight and I saw my own website staring back at me! So honored - thanks for the link up!

Thanks for checking in, Jessica.
If you hit that restaurant, but didn't find a review before you went, be sure to let us know what you thought of it with a review.
If it's a family restaurant (or even if it's not but you have a favorite that you want to recommend), starting on Monday morning, readers should be sure to check out our "Best of Rockville" contest:

Write a review and you could win movie tickets.

The Gaithersburg Book Festival blog is a great place to find out what reviewers are saying about the more recent releases from featured authors. It's also a great place to find Q&As with the authors. http://gbf-blog.blogspot.com/
