From 4:00 to 6:30 today, Tuesday, Zaytinya (my favorite Greek Jose Andres restaurant in Chinatown) will be serving complimentary wine tastings as part of their Grape Festival. You may not know a Chablis from a Chardonnay, but everyone appreciates a little free in their lives, nes pas? Zaytinya puts a fun spin on traditional Greek…

It's not New York or San Francisco, but DC has some surprising cultural moments to be discovered. And I'm going to tell you about them. Special attention to free, super cool, or just plain strange events.
Fashion’s Night Out: DC Style
Whoever described Washington as “Hollywood for ugly people” clearly never visited Fashion’s Night Out: Georgetown. This past Thursday, September 6th, M Street played host to a variety of fashion-centric events, deals, parties, and well, some frankly beautiful people. DC Style Is Real was on hand to capture some of those faces and stories and to…

Ms.Vedral Goes to Washington: Flats are for…
About a year ago, when I first began telling my friends and family that I was considering a move from my native New York City to Washington DC, the first argument against it–without fail–would be “but you have so much style.” I’ll admit, I didn’t disagree with their concern. I had been told by Washingtonians…

Found: Street Art
These little sidewalk spiders have appeared outside the newly named Noma Metro station in NE. As you walk up to them and see them all facing and seemingly crawling in the same direction, it’s easy to imagine you are walking into a sea of spiders. Something different to start your workday. At least it’s not like this….
Where Am I?
In a salute to the less photographed (but no less beautiful and surprising) parts of DC, this intrepid on-foot photographer brings you a classic: the Where Am I? post. Inspired by Prince of Petworth in particular, I found myself pausing from time to time as I walk around our fair city, thinking, “Wow, I just like…
Labor Day Special: Modern Manners’ Recipe for the Perfect BBQ
While the end of summer holiday, Labor Day, neither marks a change in the weather (curse you, climate change!) nor the autumnal equinox (curse you, solar calendar!), it does mean something everyone can support: barbeque. The Labor Day Weekend BBQ is a great tradition of Americana, a last hurrah before school starts, or more appropriately…
