Friday Happy Hour: Guinness

I know that St. Patrick’s Day isn’t until next week, but let’s be honest, it’s on your mind. So, why drink anything other than Ireland’s finest: Guinness Stout. I don’t feel like I need to expound upon the flavor and richness of Guinness as I’m sure that everyone has tried it. But, [...]
We Love Weekends, March 13-14
”

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.
Paulo: This [...]

Serendipity 3, that most New York of institutions, is opening a location in DC. K Street Kate reports that the popular restaurant chain will be taking up in Nathan’s old location on Wisconsin and M in Georgetown. Prime real estate, to say the least. If [...]
Wedding Bells

Today is the day that many gay couples in the District have been waiting for: wedding day. DC has processed the first batch of marriage license applications that were filed last week and will begin issuing said licenses today. Around 150 couples should have the document in hand by this evening, allowing [...]
Has Spring Sprung?

We’re one week away from springing forward, three weeks away from cherry blossoms, the temperature is above 50 and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen some flowers poking up from the ground. I think that it’s almost safe to call it: spring has arrived. What’s more is that mild temperatures will prevail for [...]
Snowballer Cop Keeps his Badge

It appears that in the MPD, pulling your gun on innocent citizens isn’t a fireable offense. This is lucky for Detective Mike Baylor, who, you’ll remember, didn’t take kindly to his hummer being hit by snowballs and waved his gun at some people involved in a U St. snowball fight. A few [...]
Drinks Preview: Oyamel’s Tequila and Mezcal Fest

Tequila flies under the radar as connoisseur’s drink. It’s had an unfair representation from co-eds pounding back shots on spring break in Cancun and middle aged women drinking slushy margaritas by some pool. But Tequila, much like anything, can be done right and can be done wrong. Chef Jose [...]
Marriage Day Slide Show

Today was a big day for the gay community in DC and WLDC Flickr Pool contributor Erin M. was there to capture the moment. I’m happy for the couples and realize that they’re the point of this whole business, but I find the counter protesters facing off against Westboro Baptist Church to [...]

Well, the Olympics are over and I have no excuse: the RWDC Live Blog will resume again, tonight. Be here at 9:45 with a drink in hand to mock the strangeness of those real folks that drank and grinded (ground?) their way around or city this summer. Is this [...]

Welcome to the Friday Happy Hour, your single drink primer for the weekend.
I’ve been trying to come up with some sort of seasonal or circumstantial justification for recommending the Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier, but I really can’t. The best thing I can think of is that you might die tomorrow and it would be a [...]
RWDC Chat Hiatus

We’re taking a brief hiatus from our RWDC chats for our own sanity and to watch the Olympics. We’ll be back the week after next to chat up the horrors of MTV’s reality television. Should you choose to watch the show tonight, feel free to discuss it here.

No Metro Means Taxis Screw You Over
”

For some reason (I still can’t fathom why) the Metro closed at midnight on Friday and Saturday. This meant that for the average person out on the town, taxis were the only option for getting home, and apparently cabbies got wind of this. Instead of turning on their meters [...]
Getting Home

So, I’m at work. I decided to skip the trains and made it in with little hassle via Metrobus. But, now I’m starting to worry about the commute home. Granted, it’s still five hours off, but thinking about the mess that the Metro has been this morning makes me [...]
Was the City Ready?

As you are all aware, the Fed has finally reopened today after nearly a week of closure. With roads fairly clear and sidewalks mostly shoveled, it seemed like the right call. But I’m beginning to suspect that maybe it wasn’t. Metro appears to be woefully unprepared for the return of the Federal [...]
Fed Closed AGAIN!

OPM has announced that the Fed is closed for a nearly unprecedented fourth day in a row. The last time the government shut down for more than 2 days was for the blizzard of 1996, when employees were instructed not to report for an entire week (also the record for [...]
Blizzard Warning for DC

Yes, that’s right, a blizzard warning. The National Weather Service has issued a statement going into effect at 10pm warning of blizzard conditions in the District. Earlier today, a similar warning was issued for Baltimore and Southern Maryland, but it seems the effects are projected to be further south than originally expected. So, [...]

We worked damn hard during the last snowpocalypse to make sure that you were well informed as to the snow related goings on in the DC area. In fact, I’d say we covered the bases pretty well. You know what that means for this time around? Recycled content!!
One of our readers, Shaun [...]

Are you an art collector searching for a few “as seen on realty TV” pieces? Do you love MTV’s sense of interior design so much that you wish to emulate it in your own home? Well, you’re in luck, because Gallery Plan B is hosting a [...]
The Most Annoying Metro Person

People cause me great consternation on my commutes in and out of the city. I have this vision in my mind of how everyone should behave on the metro in order to make a perfect commute. People would be kind and considerate, they would move briskly, no one would tote [...]
