About 7:30 p.m. Sunday evening, passersby and shoppers exiting the Harris Teeter supermarket at 1631 Kalorama Road NW stopped to gawk at an unexpected musical performance—a rooftop violinist. more ›

Perhaps someone is listening to DCist commenters. Local food and other stuff delivery service DCSnacks.com has expanded its delivery area, which now covers most of downtown and Dupont but will soon go as far east as 3rd Street NW and as far north as Kalorama Road and V Street. Looking at their delivery map, available on their FAQ, we notice that they stop just short of a steep hill along 13th Street that climbs from... more ›

File this under “obvious.” Getting into and out of Adams Morgan can be a baffling ordeal for the navigationally challenged. Whether you’re a newcomer to D.C. (finding your way by that helpful grid system you’ve heard so much about), or an out-of-towner detraining at Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams-Morgan (expecting Adams Morgan to be right there), it’s easy to suffer some sort of temporary mental breakdown. And everyone knows that parking is nowhere to be found and that weekend nights are totally bananas up and down 18th Street in either direction. This DCist spent a little time this past weekend helping out some of our Rolling Thunder guests navigate from 18th Street and Kalorama Road to I-66 westbound, hopefully transforming good-natured exasperation into relief. more ›

It's at 7 p.m. at Rendezvous Cafe on 18th Street. Go check it out. more ›

Popular Adams Morgan coffee shop/bar Tryst is planning to turn off their free WiFi at 8:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. We noticed the news on local blog prod & ponder, who thought it was "really disturbing" and even called to double check. more ›

This DCist is home sick today with a splitting headache, bad cough and congested sinuses. We would try to rest more, but we can't get much sleep because of low-flying helicopters over our apartment. Despite being bed-ridden, we're very thankful for laptop computers. So we thought we'd take care of some minor housekeeping and update some of our links to D.C.-area blogs we've been looking at as of late. -- The Upstate Life ... We... more ›
