Today Taylor Gourmet will be giving away a free Puck’s Soda with purchase of a hoagie or salad. I’ve never heard of Puck’s either, but this is an excellent reminder that Taylor is a great choice for a lunch break in the middle of your work week. After opening on H Street years ago, the…

Ms. Vedral Goes to Washington: Peregrine Espresso, Market Lunch and Eastern Market (Or: Exercises in Patience)
Since my last post seemed to ruffle some feathers, I thought I should write this article about how I first became interested in picking up my life and moving to DC (note: this is not a comprehensive piece). Every time I would visit friends or family in DC, I’d have the same reaction: “I could…

In all things at all times, New York brings its A-game….
Rollergirls Don’t Mess at DC Armory
Replete with punny names, pigtails, and knee and elbow pads, it’s the 6th season of the DC Rollergirls! Hear me roar, yelled all the skaters as they invaded the Armory last weekend in a crazed fury. For those who aren’t already familiar with roller derbies, it’s a fringe sport played on a roller rink, on roller…
Kick in the Pants: Where’s My Streetcar?
Construction of the opening leg of D.C.’s ambitious citywide streetcar network, the 2.2 mile H Street line stretching from 3rd Street NE all the way down to Benning and Oklahoma Ave NE, concluded last June.
