I feel absolute credit is due to Domku‘s atmosphere and food that, in spite of starkly slow service and a bug found on a plate, I still want to go back. Walking into the cozy and not-too-small restaurant just off Georgia Avenue (and walkable from the…

Ms. Vedral Goes to Washington: Cherry Blossoms: You Never Forget Your First Time
Ah yes. The long-awaited cherry blossoms. Well, maybe not that long-awaited, since they peaked early this year due to freakishly amazing weather. Regardless, if there was anything that I knew I needed to experience in Washington that I couldn’t get in New York, it was a walk around the Tidal Basin to see the cherry…
The Hirschhorn Turns On
Everyone should head on over to the Hirschhorn after it gets dark. “But doesn’t the museum close at 5?”, you might ask. No worries, my dear friends – Doug Aitken‘s got you covered with his latest work, a staggering 82 foot tall, 725 foot wide giant art exhibit on the outside of our favorite donut-shaped…
Taylor: It’s a Good Day for a Hoagie
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…
Shecky’s: Take a Number, You Know They’ve Taken Yours
What the WHAT is Shecky’s? From the ads and emails for Shecky’s Girls’ Night Out that appeared in my inbox for the past few weeks, I found myself thinking that I was paying for a ticket to a fun and light-hearted girls’ night out last week. You know, the kind with cocktails and laughing and…
Living Social’s 918 F Street: A Beautiful Prison
Ah, Living Social. I’ve always loved you. Even loved you too much. You made me feel so powerful, like I had DC under control while on a budget. Those were good days. Well, now you’ve moved into new territory. 918 F Street, your new flagship “event center,” is a beautiful, cruel prison. With pristine and…
The Hamilton: Old Ebbitt Gets Refreshed
Need more proof that DC has arrived? Look no further than The Hamilton, the latest offering from the the Clyde’s braintrust located at the corner of 14th and F in Northwest. Holding a capacity of 850 over three massive floors, it includes Washington’s newest music venue and it’s an insomniac — the whole place is…
Ms. Vedral Goes to Washington: Café Milano
Prior to moving to DC, I had been warned by…pretty much everyone…that my foodie proclivities would need to be adjusted. And experience had also brought this to bear: I once had Thai food at a restaurant with a punny name that used regular broccoli instead of Chinese broccoli in its Pad See Ew. I’d been…
Rick Ross at DAR
Purveyor of polished music videos (replete with tricked-out cars and busty babes) and recent recipient of MTV’s Hottest MC in the Game award, Rick Ross played DAR Constitution Hall last night. You’d think a big commercial name like Ricky Rozay would be sure to pack ’em in from miles around, but that’d be a negatory, good…
