Food Tweet of the Week: Senart’s
Senart’s Oyster & Chop House is officially one month (and a week) old. So far the verdict is: huge success – just try getting a seat at the bar during happy hour.
But on Twitter, where you can follow the restaurant at @SenartsDC, it sadly only has 15 followers and has only tweeted 6 times! I guess [...]
Hot Ticket: This Will Destroy You @ Rock and Roll Hotel, 6/5/11
Just to get this out of the way – yes, they live up to their name. THIS WILL DESTROY YOU is one of the loudest bands I’ve seen live – the kind of loudness where you might go deaf if you don’t wear earplugs. I caught them last year at DC9, expecting a pleasant set [...]

Over the three-game series, the Nationals did a lot to make the best 1/2/3 starting combo in baseball today look a lot more human and hittable. Heading out of town [...]

First Look: Luke’s Lobster
Luke’s Lobster isn’t a big space, and you could almost walk by it…that is if

More »Silverdocs 2011 Packed With Award Season Hopefuls

I’ve had the chance to cover the festival in the past and it’s a great experience for cinephiles to see some great stories unfold without [...]
