Craft cocktails are all the rage in DC these days. Anyone tired of this gimmicky money grab? Come sit by the fire, kiddies (provided you’re over 21) and I’ll tell you all about it. I was lounging at the chill American Ice Co. off U Street recently when a good friend introduced me to the most peculiar…

Lunch Special: Central Michel Richard
Here’s the short version: if you want to eat at Central and spend under $100, you must go at lunch. And the long version: It’s so worth it! Not only are you getting a great deal, you’re having a little workday holiday. But the food is, of course, the main draw. Now until November 11,…
The Happy Hour Chronicles: Bistro La Bonne
Walking down U Street, it’s easy to be lured by the sparkle of Marvin and the Gibson or the solid good deal of The Islander, but tucked away between 13th and 14th Streets is Bistro la Bonne. In between some clubs, nail salons, and a Mexican restaurant, Bistro la Bonne is a slice of no-nonsense…

Botany Comes Alive at Studio H
To celebrate Studio H’s second anniversary as the most hole-in-the-wall gallery on H Street, owner Phil Hutinet celebrated the run of not one, but two concurrent shows this past weekend. Studio H itself is a wonderful space and a true find. Climb up the stairs above a fitness center with no permanent sign, to find…
192 | DC Project Shows at Sova
As we all know (or maybe don’t) there are (or were) 192 countries in this wonderful world. Whatever the number, there are tons of countries out there, yet many of us remained narrowly focused on our own lives, going from home to work, to home again. We have communities, yes, and how do those communities…
After the Quake from Rorschach Theater
Starting a four week run at the Atlas Center on Monday evening, Rorschach Theater’s After The Quake has a giant frog. A giant…frog. Who doesn’t love their plays with a dash of hopping frog legs? OK, it’s not all about a giant frog. The story centers on the age-old conundrum of guy-is-friends-with-girl, guy-falls-in-love-with-girl, guy-doesn’t-want-to-lose-friendship, some-other-guy-of-course-steps-in….
