When is this ever a good idea? Matching grey shorts OVER grey sweatpants. Flip flops matching grew layered long and short sleeve tshirt. I mean, it’s like this dude went to the Hanes section and was like Man, I’m gonna look great in these. And don’t even tell me it’s comfy to stack shorts over…

A Toast to Breadsoda
Despite the questionable name, upscale Breadsoda in Glover Park truly takes the cake. Located across the street from yuppie mainstay restaurant Town Hall on the 2200 block of Wisconsin Avenue, your first impression is “whoa, sweet patio.” You’re greeted by a generous helping of outdoor seating complete with comfy table umbrellas to catch some shade when…
The Garment District (No, Not New York)
It’s all DC, all the time here at the Garment District, DC’s newest pop-up art space. Also know as a Temporarium, the Garment District revels in worshiping at the altar of local talent. All the art prints on the wall are by DC artists, all the one-of-a-kind jewelry is hand-made by DC artisans, and all…
Get Thee to Bohemian Caverns. Go!
At Bohemian Caverns last night, I overheard the following coversation, which was most distrubing. Wow, this is great! I know! I’ve never heard of it before! Bingo, problem! How can anyone not have heard of Bohemian Caverns? It’s like nothing else in the city, and probably like nothing else in the Mid Atlantic region. If you’re thinking…

The AFI is so great!
It may just be that I love movies (especially when the days are grey), but the American Film Institute has the best movie watching experience to be found in the city. The AFI Silver in Silver Spring takes pride in doing things just the right way. They show good movies (read: arts and sure-fire Oscar…
Hidden Gem: Parkway Deli
I believe I’ve told you before, dear reader, I’m not Jewish. I don’t usually need to say this, but sometimes (sometimes!) it just feels so right that I have to remind myself that no, I can’t lay claim to any Yiddish or classic Jewish guilt. One of these times is midway through brunch at The…
Fruit Bat: Pricey or Perfect?
Another eve of adventures in the Atlas District/H Street neighborhood (is there consensus on a preferred name for this strip yet?) brought me to the exotic Fruit Bat, located on the north side of H between 12th and 13th Streets NE. The dark but colorful lighting and brown walls of this South/Central American themed bar evokes…
