It’s hard to navigate the ‘net these days without stumbling upon another entrant to the “daily discount” market. Each site has its quirk to set it apart, but the gist is the same. Snag a coupon for 50 cents on the dollar to a hot local eatery, museum, or gym. Or naked Korean spa in the middle of Centreville, VA. Some place you wouldn’t normally find yourself if it weren’t for the conveniently advertised coupon. more ›

Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement, is on Monday, with Kol Nidre prayers happening on Sunday at sundown. Last year, with the holiday falling in the middle of the week, DCist brought those heading to temple a guide for where to pack in the calories before the start of the fast. I followed my own advice and dined at Java Green, but aside from the friends I broke bread with, I didn’t notice any other diners that looked like they were there for a pre-fast meal. And my mock chicken wasn’t so filling. more ›

Veg D.C. Names Best Veggie Restaurant VegDC.com has tallied the votes for the area's best vegetarian restaurant, and the award goes to Java Green, the downtown eatery that serves a wide range of vegetarian and vegan cuisine (and really great coffee drinks) in the Farragut North area of downtown.

I thought I was getting such a good deal on my salon visits. A shampoo, a good cut, some pleasant conversation. They have good music playing, and everyone's friendly. Most importantly, the price is low enough not to seriously offend a sense of haircut-related frugality instilled through years in childhood spent getting bargain cuts in wood-paneled barbershops where grizzled Vietnam vets with fewer than 10 fingers cut hair with brisk efficiency while Hank Williams Sr.... more ›

They'll Kick You Out If You Give Butterstick an IPA Normally, the Feed saves its activity-related post for "after the jump," but given the popularity of last year's event, as well as the sheer number of great brews available, we're bumping this one up to front-page status. Tickets are on sale now for the Friends of the National Zoo (FONZ) 2nd annual Brew at the Zoo mixer/fundraiser/drunkfest. For $60, or $45 if you're a... more ›

Outrageous prices for not-so great food -- the issue of stadium concessions is pretty interesting. So interesting that Slate's Daniel Engber wondered and found out what it's like to be a beer vendor. Aside from in airports and on airplanes, where else can you be subjected to a limited number of relatively unappetizing, uncreative, unhealthy concoctions that are sold at unbelievably high prices? Even the July 2006 revamping of RFK Stadium and the new food... more ›

Are you looking to cleanse your battered insides once and for all after scarfing down three Primanti's-style sandwiches, a six-pack of Iron City beer, and two grande Starbucks coffees at that Super Bowl theme party this past weekend? If you'd rather not sign up for a high colonic or a session in the vibratory chair at Dr. John Harvey Kellogg's Sanitarium, head to downtown Washington's Java Green restaurant this Saturday, February 11 at 1 p.m.... more ›
