Georgetown’s Asian fusion mainstay Mie N Yu closed its doors last night, taking with it one of the city’s fanciest public bathrooms.
The Georgetown Asian fusion spot Mie N Yu gets mixed marks on its cuisine, but its bathroom is in the running to be named the best public restroom in America.
The National Cherry Blossom Festival kicked off this past weekend, and with peak cherry blossom dates officially starting Wednesday, area restaurants are busy cashing in on cherry blossom fever. As we mentioned earlier, a number of local eateries are celebrating the arrival of D.C.’s famed blossoms with cherry-themed food and drinks. DCist sampled some of these creations over the weekend. From savory to sweet to boozy, there are plenty of cherry-infused treats to tempt both…
Ninety-six degress, Washington. That’s what weather.com is predicting for today’s high. That should put the heat index safely into the hundred range, and the city as a whole into the “justified complaining” range. And it’s what made this photo from phillefan_99 catch our attention. It’s hard to look at it and not think wistfully of summer days at Cameron Run, rubbing our backs raw on the waterslides and bobbing in the suspiciously salty wave…
By Amanda and Ben Page We were on a budget last time, but that got tiresome quickly. Besides, how could we resist the allure of Restaurant Week? So, we gathered up some friends and checked out crowd-favorite Mie N Yu in Georgetown. Of course, the great thing about dining out with multiple people is that we’re able to try a number of items off the menu. Hands down, our favorite protein item was the Miso…
FRIDAY: >> January at 9:30 Club tends to be a no man’s land of lots of dark nights with the occassional local line-up thrown in for good measure. So we think it’s great that Taint, DC9’s weekly queer dance night for electro-indie goodness, and Black Cat’s popular Bliss have ganged up to create INFAMY, a late-night dance fiesta featuring DJ Will Eastman and New York’s DJ Bill Coleman, with special guest Daisy Spurs. Doors open…
By DCist contributor Celeste Dawn Mitchell Two thousand of the khaki crowd’s finest came out to party Thursday at Friends of the National Zoo’s Young Professionals’ (or FONZ YP’s, if you will) sold-out Brew at the Zoo. Proceeds went toward its Asian elephant conservation project. Just in case patrons forgot they were partying for a cause, four-ounce fill-lines on souvenir mugs intimated that this was a classy tasting affair, not a frat kegger. Though…
Good morning, Washington. It’s not local news, but we’d be remiss if we failed to mention the story that’s at the top of every media outlet’s coverage this morning: Iraqi insurgent leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been killed by a precision airstrike. The news comes approximately four years after the military’s first opportunity to attack Zarqawi was inexplicably abandoned. What this means for U.S. security, Iraqi democracy or the midterm elections, we couldn’t guess —…
We’ve been waiting patiently for a press release on the 2005 Rammy Award winners, hoping that the three-day delay was because there would be some sort of recount. Not that we completely disagreed with the winners — many are good choices, whether selected by the public or by RAMW itself. Saint-Ex as best neighborhood gathering spot? Sure. Indebleu as hottest bar scene? Obvious. CityZen as best new restaurant? Even more obvious. But when we read…
