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.
The Wisdom Files: The Absolution
Wisdom takes first place as my you-have-to-go-to-this-bar bar. That is why I will run a post for each cocktail I think you may enjoy there. Each one is completely different and different people will have their own favorites (after all, you’re a beautiful, unique snowflake, aren’t you?). Hopefully, you’ll be intrigued enough to visit and try on…
Magnetic Fields @ 930 Club
Touring in support of their latest album Love at the Bottom of the Sea, Stephin Merritt and the Magnetic Fields brought their unique brand of acerbic indie rock to our nation’s capital last night.

Domku: Forced, Enjoyable Lingering
I feel absolute credit is due to Domku‘s atmosphere and food that, in spite of starkly slow service and a bug found on a plate, I still want to go back. Walking into the cozy and not-too-small restaurant just off Georgia Avenue (and walkable from the…
Ms. Vedral Goes to Washington: Cherry Blossoms: You Never Forget Your First Time
Ah yes. The long-awaited cherry blossoms. Well, maybe not that long-awaited, since they peaked early this year due to freakishly amazing weather. Regardless, if there was anything that I knew I needed to experience in Washington that I couldn’t get in New York, it was a walk around the Tidal Basin to see the cherry…
