Ms. Vedral Goes to Washington: Where To Get Your Nails Did
It’s been widely documented on these pages that I like to get my grooming on. Eyebrow threadings, waxing, mani/pedis–as Lindsay Bluth Funke would rightly point out, “these are some real costs, Michael.” And boy are they real. I moved here a little over nine months ago on a tight budget, only to find that the…
Caves and Buddhas, You’re Here!
Some things in the DC arts are not to be missed. Song 1 at the Hirshhorn this past summer. Ai Weiwei’s exhibition there right now.

Something’s Really Happening Here: DC Week
What if you could look on one screen at all of the public transportation options in DC at the same time and choose the best route home (Metro, bus, Capital Bikeshare, Zipcar, and car2go)? Have you ever tried to cook from a recipe on your iPad or smartphone without getting food on the screen? A…
Frugalista: The Why and The How
You’ve seen the recent commercials calling for “Maxxonistas?” I’m not one to take things to the maxx. Especially because it ends with two ‘xx’ and the store lacks a coherent internal organization system (and my left brain craves these kinds of things). Rather, I am a frugalista.

Where Am I?
In a salute to the less photographed (but no less beautiful and surprising) parts of DC, this intrepid on-foot photographer brings you a classic: the Where Am I? post.
