Each ticket allotted you eight “tastes” to be used to sample the offerings of the various participating restaurants. But what a “taste”…
The Seventh Day Adventists at Capital Memorial Church are serving up an awesome sampling of vegetarian dishes from around the world this Sunday from 1-4 p.m., all for $10.

DCist took some heat from…

Ian Svenonius is spinning and it looks like there’ll be a number…

The change in venue didn’t amount to a change in tenor. Perhaps because wine-tasting evokes…
International Wine and Food Festival Those of you who intend to hit the 7th Annual Washington D.C. Wine & Food Festival this Saturday and Sunday at the Omni Shoreham may want to come up with a strategy before you arrive. With 1,200 wines from more than 280 wineries to sample and chef appearances aplenty, walking in will be like stopping by Target or Wegman’s without a list, just to pick up a few things….
FRIDAY: >> Please Hammer, don’t hurt ’em. Landmark R&B radio station WPGC celebrates 19 years of playing 18 jams in a row with a concert at the Verizon Center that features LL Cool J, MC Hammer, Chuck Brown, EU, Naughty By Nature, Bow Wow, MC Hammer and Lisa Lisa. Apparently Cult Jam had previous commitments. $45 – $70, 7 p.m. (Kyle Gustafson) >> You may have missed La Didone last weekend, but if you…

Well, they probably have, and we’re experiencing serious envy of anyone who’s on a beach right now with a margarita in hand. But don’t despair – there’s still tons to do in D.C. this weekend, and we’ve rounded up the best of the best for you to do in a special extended version of Weekend Picks. But…
