Bonus Pick – Many of us are wondering how we can help with the relief effort in Turkey, well here’s a very easy way to get involved.  It involves eating.  Head on over to Middle-Eastern restaurant Meze in Adams-Morgan.  Through closing today the restaurant is donating 100-percent of their sales to relief efforts in Turkey.  You can also give an additional gift through the American Turkish Association of Washington, D.C.  Meze is an institution on the 18th Street strip where it’s been for more than 20 years.
