The election is done, the votes counted, and City Council Chairman Vincent Gray is now Mayor-Elect Vincent Gray. With turnout low (a scant 27%), Gray waltzed easily to victory as he was expected to do. Surprising, though, was the number of write-in votes, likely cast for Adrian Fenty. [...]

This is one of the most contested and followed mid-terms in recent memory. But as much as people around the country might be glued to their TV’s to see what’s going to happen in the House (goes Republican) and Senate (most likely stays Dems), we don’t really have all [...]

It’s probably the saddest news I’ve gotten since moving to the District — Morty’s Delicatessen in Tenleytown is now closed.
Just moments ago, I received word from a gentleman over the phone at Morty’s that they are in the process of shutting down shop. No further details were available at this time, but more [...]

And then came the rando costumes from out of nowhere. For some reason the Waldo/Walda/Odlaw/Wizard Whitebeard group seemed to be a big time favorite. No clue why. Was this some Colbert/Stewart inside joke?

We Love Food: Agora
A very good friend (and frequent dinner date) lived on 17th St. and P St. for a long time before moving to New York earlier this year. At least once a month we would meet at her house with no real dinner plan, walk out the front door and…stand. There were plenty of restaurants on [...]

Zombies invaded DC last week and remained in town through the Halloween festivities. It seemed like everywhere I looked there was some sort of zombied out crew stumbling down the street or up to the bar for a drink.

After a few days of rest and recovery, it’s finally time to reflect (and judge) the 2010 Halloween costumes. As Halloween approaches, there are always the somewhat predictable pop culture or current event costumes. Prior to Halloween night this list included: Chilean Miners, The Cast of Jersey Shore, [...]

With FotoWeek quickly approaching, photography lovers should be bracing themselves for an inundation of gallery shows, slideshows, artist talks, and all-around geekery (not to mention plenty of spam in your inbox). When you look at hundreds of photos in a short period of time it’s easy to overload your brain. Before you know [...]

Which means, OMGZ, that there is a female-managed comedy show in town that is neither gyno-focused NOR at [...]
