D.C. says visitors to Delaware, Hawaii and South Dakota, along with 27 other states, must now quarantine for 14 days.
The Washington Nationals are sending all five of their Racing Presidents on a road trip starting Friday.
According to an annual report by Allstate Insurance, D.C. drivers have no business criticizing the techniques of their fellow motorists in Maryland and Virginia. In fact, we’re the worst.
Remember those billboards that popped up in the 1980s that counted up the national debt, dollar by dollar? Pretty scary, huh? Well, District voting rights activists want something similar for their cause. Today the D.C. Council held a hearing on legislation that would allow the city to place two large LED billboards — one outside the John A. Wilson Building and the other outside the new Washington Nationals stadium — that would display the amount…
No Paper Crowns for the Guests The Majestic—the latest addition to Cathal and Meshelle Armstrong’s Alexandria empire—held its preview party last night, and DCist was in the house. The King Street restaurant was packed with all your various foodie types mauling the chef and owners, mugging for the roving photographers, and swilling both wine and gossip. With such a high density of gastronauts, I’m sure Majestic’s owners would have rather been serving up their food…
You might know him as, “the handsome grandson,” “the outta work superhero,” or by the name on his birth certificate, “Dathan Harbor.” But chances are you’ve never heard of Flex Mathews by any of his many monikers.

A reader getting into the holiday spirit wondered where to get their piney living room centerpiece in the city, since it’s probably frowned upon to take a saw to some trees in Rock Creek Park. Thankfully, at least for those among us with the Christmas spirit, trees are available all over the city. Here’s a few of our…
Share Our Strength Benefit For Katrina Victims August 29 will mark the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s landfall, but clean-up, rebuilding, and resettling are still taking place. Charity group Share Our Strength will observe the date by holding Restaurants for Relief, an event in which restaurants will donate a portion of their proceeds to help recovery efforts and to end childhood hunger along the Gulf Coast. Almost 90 restaurants in the metro area plan to…
Before we kick off this week’s suggestions, a quick note about Sunday’s show at the Black Cat. The Lovely Feathers were good, Dr Dog was great, and The Spinto Band was freakin phenomenal. What a tremendous bunch of characters those guys are, we haven’t seen head shaking like that since That Thing You Do. TUESDAY: >> We’ll be honest — we can’t exactly picture Trent Reznor playing in an amphitheater. But it’s a plan so…
