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.

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...

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.
