Madams Organ Happy Hour for Community of Hope
‘Madams Organ Restaurant’ courtesy of ‘KrS-NrY’ Drinking and philanthropy are two of my favorite things, and fortunately, they mix fairly well. That’s why I’m excited about the April 15 happy hour and Madams Organ benefiting local DC charity Community of Hope. Community of Hope provides medical care, affordable housing and other social services for DC’s [...]

2010-02-19 AdamsMorgan Time Series Pano – 20×30 by m hoek When I think of Adams Morgan, I think of twenty year old kids drinking enough cheap alcohol to bring themselves to the brink of death. I think of Big Slice with the smell of puke and hookah drifting through the air. I think of breakfast [...]

For many people I know, Tryst is “The Office.” Well, now they can drink on the job in style! Last week the Adams Morgan coffeehouse pioneer rolled out a new cocktail menu, and fellow WLDC author Samer and I were treated to some fine libation as they branch away from the bean. And as we all [...]

‘bagel – before’ courtesy of ‘staceyviera’ Did you see how good I was? I almost made an “Electric Boogaloo” reference in the header, but I restrained myself. Anyways, the bagel question really brought out the comments, so I thought it would be worthwhile to share the reader’s consensus. Brooklyn Bagels in Courthouse seems to be [...]

‘Where have you gone, Philip Marlowe?’ courtesy of ‘LaTur’ If there’s one thing Paul DeVeaux and I agree on, it’s that DC lacks what some other major cities don’t – a movie about “us.” There is no such recounting of District life from the perspective of an actual resident — or least none that come [...]
More »Surviving the Next Snowpocalypse
‘South Smithsonian Escalators’ courtesy of ‘william couch’ The DC area, this weekend, was something of a post-apocalyptic landscape. Driving down 395 on Saturday, one would have seen abandoned cars spun out at odd angles and their stranded drivers trudging towards some nameless help. Most residents stayed holed up in their homes, living off of the [...]

‘Salvation Army Christmas Give Away’ courtesy of ‘docentjoyce’ Continuing with our “Good Samaritan” theme, I now provide you with a means by which you may become said Samaritan. Behold: the WaPo giving map. This handy application maps out charities in the DC area and sorts them by type. The list includes everything from homeless shelters, [...]

‘Wild DC – O Hai! – 6-12-09′ courtesy of ‘mosley.brian’ You can’t make this stuff up. A deer, a resident of Rock Creek Park, made a very unwise decision on Sunday. This poor deer decided to take one small step for deer…and one giant leap for deerkind – right into the lion exhibit at the [...]

‘IMG_6739′ courtesy of ‘chrysti harrison’ Welcome to We Love Drinks: MAN EDITION (imagine the title with with like flames and motorcycles around it. That’s how I picture it in my head, anyways.) Jenn has graciously handed me the reins this month to take you all on a more masculine version of her beloved feature. I’ll [...]

“If you want high-rise, get on the train.” Tucked away on an Adams Morgan side street, off the alley entrance and past the Harley, lies a secret patio that just happens to be the headquarters of a foodie subculture – Grillworks, Inc. Local entrepreneur Ben Eisendrath had been introducing friends to the glory of South [...]

‘Adams Morgan’ courtesy of ‘citron_smurf’ Welcome to another edition of Where We Live. This week we’ll be covering the ins and outs of one of the District’s coolest neighborhoods, Adams Morgan. Adams Morgan is unique in DC in that it actually feels like a neighborhood during the weekdays and weekend days, and completely changes character [...]
More »What They Look Like: Real World DC Cast
‘Workers’ courtesy of ‘squidpants’ So I’ve been avoiding the Real World beat for as long as possible (our authorship tends to trade off reporting duties, so none of us actually has to “own” the beat) so I’m going to take my turn and fill you in on the latest. Kirk told you that they’re here, [...]
