Morning Roundup: Pseudo-Holiday Edition
Good morning, Washington. It’s Columbus Day, the least observed of all the federal holidays — or is that Veterans’ Day? Unless you work directly for the government or your job is absolutely dependent on it being open for business, odds are about even you’re sitting at your desk at the usual time this morning, as a trade-off for getting to take the Friday after Thanksgiving off. It’s also, of course, a controversial day, and is…

DCist Interview: Jennifer Dziura
As our Gothamist friends picked up back in 2005, 28-year-old comedienne Jennifer Dziura is a pretty funny gal. After reading her bio, I quickly realized that I wanted to be her. The Dartmouth philosophy grad is a human smorgasbord, with past stints as a contraceptive tester, naked model for miscellaneous art schools, trapeze assistant, dot-com entrepreneur, and occasional comedy writer for McSweeney’s and the Idiot’s Guide to Jokes. Every Monday she emcees Williamsburg’s “Spelling Bee”…

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…

Belga Cafe Opens on Barracks Row
The long awaited Belga Cafe has finally opened its doors. The restaurant first opened for limited service last Saturday, and has been packed for dinner ever since. One eGullet member posts that … they are having anything but a soft opening. The joint wasn’t just jumping, it was slammed, with every seat filled, three deep at the bar and people waiting outside on the street. The hostess said they’ve been booked out every night…

A Pizza Challenge
The Post’s “You Haven’t Lived Here If You Haven’t …” feature on Sunday traveled to Adams Morgan to enjoy a jumbo slice at Pizza Mart. By featuring just Pizza Mart, we aren’t sure if the Post crowned the jumbo slices that can be found at 2445 18th St. NW as the best on the block, as there are others. (For atmosphere, we’re partial to Pizza Napoli. There’s nothing like post-last call revelry while chowing down…
