There’s always something new to discover in DC. And in life. I was just walking around thinking that the region between Chinatown and Metro Center (E, F, G and H Streets between 9th and 10th) was a lost hinterland of office buildings and tourists wandering into Madame Tussaud’s. I also had no idea about the delightful…

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.
Saturday, Photo Day
When it’s 20-something degrees outside even in early afternoon, I say it’s a good time to stay in. Here are some photo contributions from warmer times for your viewing pleasure. If you would like to contribute a photo, let me know in the comments.
Yeah, OK, thanks WaPo
The Washington Post this morning informed me of three ways to a better night out. But can this be a complete list? Is that all there is?! There’s got to be more to it. What do you think? Any room for improvement on this advice from the Man? Please!
Class, Class, Class at Againn
Againn does most everything right, which is more than one can ask for during Restaurant Week. The food is impeccable, the atmosphere bright and cheerful during the day and mysterious and romantic at night, the service (as it is anywhere during this time of culinary overexcitement) can be spotty. But hey! It’s Restaurant Week, anything…
Marvelous Pete’s Apizza
Just because something is right there, available, so simple and easy, does not mean it’s not worth having. Prepare for a shock: the grass may not always be greener on the other side. I speak of Pete’s Apizza, a newish pizza joint right on top of the Columbia Heights Metro. I hadn’t given it much…
So You Want to Take the Bus to New York

A Peek at the First Ladies at the Fridge
It’s really hard to stop myself from using a refrigerator analogy for the art one finds at Alex Gold‘s back alley art space in Eastern Market. Something about there always being something satisfying in the fridge. There. I did it anyway. I really love what goes on at The Fridge. Saturday night’s opening of Laura…
Last Call for Photos
Midnight tonight is the deadline for submitting your best and brightest photos for the DCist Exposed photo show. Since its inception in 2006, this show brings out some amazing representations of our fair city, familiar, alarming, anything and everything. Not being a photog[rapher] myself, I have thrown my support behind one of my personal favorite…
Concrete Fortress of Solitude
Flashpoint Gallery reliably gives me a good time. I’m always excited to go in, and I leave wanting to talk about what I’ve seen. Right now the exhibit shows works in concrete and string by Suzannah Vaughan. The show, Tracing Form, is sponsored by Solas Nua, the fabulous go-to (and only) organization in DC for contemporary…
