Spoiler alert: The cost of living in D.C. is a splurge in and of itself.
Northeast D.C.’s recently opened gourmet food hall is expanding its hours. Union Market, which was previously open only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, will be open Wednesdays and Thursdays as well beginning next week.
D.C. will find out if it’s ready for a second destination food hall this weekend when Union Market opens with a lineup of artisanal edibles and niche food events.
Crafty Bastards, the City Paper’s annual arts and crafts show, is on for this year, though it will take place at a different time, in a different place and for a different cost of admission.
Crafty Bastards, the annual arts and crafts fair, is moving from its Adams Morgan digs and looking for an indoor venue for this year’s installment.
Good morning, Washington. Happy October, and happy new fiscal year. A noticeable drop in temperature this weekend reminds us it’s not too long before we’ll witness a noticeable shift in hues.

Yesterday it was pretty much impossible to avoid breakdancers. And why would you want to? Bboys at Crafty Bastards. Bboys at the kickin’ Florida Avenue Grill 65th year anniversary party. I didn’t make it over to the Adult Block Party but I’m going to bet it was not remiss in the uprock department.
