This post is from DCist Contributor Joe Viola Located in the heart of Adams Morgan is the Little Fountain Café. The menu is quaint but extremely sophisticated, the ambiance quiet but romantic, and the service is friendly but unobtrusive. There’s no elevator music while you eat. Bono, Coldplay, Billy Joel, and smooth jazz covers by Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald enhance an already private affair. Walking downstairs into the Café you pass by the little......

By DCist contributor Analiese Bendorf The Big Apple's Harvest Export Attention, all ye who still doubt whether one may dine seriously in DC (and we hope there aren't many of you left), you may soon be tempted to cancel that weekend jaunt to Manhattan. Washingtonian's Todd Kliman reports in this week's online chat that high-profile chef Eric Ripert, of N.Y.C.'s famed Le Bernardin, plans to bring his four-star culinary talent to D.C., where he will......

Happy Valentine's Day, Washington. It's icy out! And, as Encino Man taught us, where there's ice, puzzlement and disorientation won't be far behind. We know you've got questions: will your power stay on on? Will you have to go into work? How horrible is your commute going to be? We'll get to that in a second. But first, we must remind you of the traditional Washington area winter storm news edict: THERE SHALL BE NO......

Did you get caught on Connecticut Avenue near the Uptown Theatre last night? Were you blinded by the sight of limos and more barricades than you can shake a stick at? We were. And, boy, was traffic, both of the automobile and pedestrian sort, a riot. Looks like it was all courtesy of the premiere of the movie The Guardian, starring Kevin Costner, Ashton Kutcher and Sela Ward. We didn't spot any stars, but, according......

Normally, Eating In is reserved for creating at-home recipes similar to dishes at restaurants within the Beltway. But during a recent trip to New York City, I was introduced to an Indian street food that I found completely irresistible. I'm convinced that a similar operation in late-night Adams Morgan would bring both Amsterdam Falafel and the Jumbo Slice to their knees. The long line outside the Kati Roll Company's store front is an indicator that......

When I was 14, I was a bit of a troublemaker. I'd vandalize, start small fires, throw water balloons at my neighbors -- the usual. Apparently the bar for youthful rebellion has been set a little higher these days. NBC 4 is reporting that a 14-year-old robbed a Chevy Chase Bank in Bethesda yesterday by passing a teller a note hinting that he had a gun. He was caught shortly thereafter. Well, if there is......

Editor's note: The only thing this recipe has in common with the jumbo slice is that it's jumbo and it's sliced. But trust us: this is some seriously fantastic eating. Just make sure to save your leftovers, as trying to prepare this whilst drunk is most likely not a good idea. Eating in is quite a few columns deep, and finally the requests are pouring in. Some like Palena’s roast chicken, and Teaism’s Salty Oatmeal......

Only one column in and DCist's resident chef, Scott Reitz, is already departing from our quick, easy, and elegant motif. Trust us -- the extra work for this one is definitely worth it. For years, the inebriated youth of Adams Morgan have had but two simple choices to combat their drunken munchies. On one side of 18th Street sat Burrito Brothers, and on the other, a menagerie of pizza parlors touting their "Jumbo Slice". While......

We at DCist are happy the low-carb craze seems to be fading, however slowly. We just love our carb-filled lifestyle too much to give it up, although we credit the scientifically dubious movement with coining the term "carbolicious" and some funny t-shirts. Even suburban D.C. institution The Cheesecake Factory got into the act, and since July has offered a 6 Carb Original Cheesecake The "upscale casual full service" restaurant's low-carb cheesecake is baked with no......

The Washington City Paper's cover story this week examines the Adams Morgan phenomenon the Jumbo Slice in laudable detail. The article ranges from the origins of the slice (Chris Chishti, owner of Pizza Mart, claims to be the first), their nutrition (the slices contain over 1,000 calories), their economics (nobody's getting rich), the volume (what does 900 pounds of a mozzarella-provolone mix look like?) and even, well, the culture ("You see people taking pictures of......
