A gourmet four-course meal + live symphony orchestra = the perfect Valentine’s Day.

Here’s what to drink tonight at the Craft Brewers Conference.

It’s looking more and more like President Obama will be dining at H Street’s Smith Commons this evening. Any chance that he’ll stay for the nightlife?

Last Saturday, brewing of the DCist Honey Ale—our attempt to imitate the White House’s beer recipe—commenced.

Brewing of the DCist Honey Ale will commence tomorrow at Smith Commons at 1245 H Street. And unlike the White House, we’re not keeping any secrets. Our beer will be made with complete transparency.

A west-facing outer wall on H Street NE’s Smith Commons became a blank canvas for Baltimore-based street artist Gaia last week.

During D.C. Beer Week, we will be highlighting some exciting beers and events to attend. On Wednesday, cross the river and sample some rarities at Pizza Paradiso, or get some of the mid-west’s best beers at Smith Commons.

Anyone who has faced hour-plus waits at Granville Moore’s or Sticky Rice knows that H Street NE tends to be long on bars and short on sit-down dining options. But a wave of recent openings that included Ethiopic, Liberty Tree, and new addition Smith Commons, which opened its doors to media for a preview, could help move the neighborhood beyond just a nightlife destination.
