After profiling 22 neighborhoods in the District, it’s time Where We Live headed out to the suburbs. This week we’re focusing on Court House, an urban neighborhood in the middle of Arlington’s Rosslyn-Ballston corridor. Sure, it’s technically a ’suburb’, but with a movie theater, multiple grocery stores, tons of bars and [...]

They didn’t even play last night and still the Caps keep winning. With Atlanta losing to Columbus 2-1 last night, the Washington Capitals clinched as Souheast Division champions for the third year in a row. This is a guaranteed Top 3 playoff seed slot and pretty much a no-brainer. I mean, who didn’t [...]

Quarterfinal action in the Big East men’s basketball tournament is underway in the Big Apple, and the Hoyas just picked up their second win of the tournament with an upset against the top-seed in Big East and national #3, Syracuse Orange. Some nice revenge for two defeats earlier this [...]
Fashionable DC: Luxury Items For Less
I started a mental list of luxury items that will, at least in theory, forever be staples in my closet – Chanel quilted purse, couture leather jacket, Hermes scarf, vintage fur stole, perfect pair black Manolo’s heels – just to name a few. Being an avid shopper, the treasure hunt to find these items at a [...]

Max: I’m headed up to NY this weekend to eat amazing food and check out some arty things like the Whitney Biennial. However if I were staying in DC, I’d take advantage of the rainy forecast by watching some Oscar-winning movies and checking out Amy Lin’s work at Addison/Ripley in Georgetown.

Maybe I Won’t Eat There

A few well-known restaurants in the DC area (I am not one to name names, but they are listed in the article) seem to be violating health codes according to an article released by the Examiner today. Although I am still not sure if I am utterly offended by the thought of ‘”slime”-covered [...]

The Nats have kept their word as far as cutting the dead-weight on their current pitching staff loose. Senior Vice President and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement today that LHP Victor Garate and RHP’s Logan Kensing and Joel Peralta were sent back to the minors. Lefty’s Shawn Estes [...]
Conan Coming to DAR Constitution Hall in June
Team Coco is coming to DC on June 8th! He’ll be doing a live show at DAR Constitution Hall that night called, “A night of music, comedy, hugging, and the occasional awkward silence.” Here at We Love DC, we’re strong proponents of Team Coco, so we’ll probably be there that night, look for us screaming [...]

And for the 17th day of March, Mayor Fenty said, “Let there be light on the tips of all cigars in closed quarters for two and ONLY two events in the District of Columbia on St. Patrick’s Day,” …or something close to that affect.
Fenty has signed [...]
We Love Music: Here We Go Magic
It takes two words to describe Here We Go Magic – an experience.
The second their melodies creep into your ear, a musical journey begins and there’s no stopping it until you’ve arrived at the final destination. Their sound is a lot like the freaky tunnel scene in the original Willy Wonka movie. You don’t know where you’re [...]
FLASH! OO-OOH…
‘Semin Scores!’

A healthy scratch in Monday’s loss against the Stars, Tomas Fleischmann made quite the impact when he returned to the lineup in last night’s game against the Carolina Hurricanes. Banging home a ripping shot from the right circle in overtime, Flash scored the game-winner and brought the Caps within one game of [...]

The news came quickly this afternoon when Councilman Tommy Wells tweeted that a new grocery store would be coming to Northeast DC, near the Safeway at the corner of Benning and Bladensburg Road in the Hechinger Mall. The new addition will be a first for DC: an Aldi’s store. It is [...]
