It will be the American restaurant’s second D.C. location.
To say D.C. is not known for its fashion sense is an understatement. The people in our fine city get slammed again and again for their inability to dress themselves in anything other than career wear. Luckily this holiday shopping season offers a little incentive in the form of trunk shows for those of us who’d like to look better and help us score some spiffy new duds. As gifts, of course. Trunk shows are…
Last night at 7 p.m., approximately 30 LGBTs and their supporters gathered inside the Rite Aid at the corner of 13th and U St. NW for a “hug-in.” The event was a response to the reported ousting of a hugging gay couple by the store’s manager last week. Although organizer The New Gay had asked people not to give the store any warning, the staff (and security guard) didn’t seem very surprised when the…
It’s summer and our beloved Arts Editor is away this week, so the agenda is a little on the short side.

>> Rorschach Theatre begins its “pay what you can” previews of References To Salvador Dali Make Me Hot tonight. The surreal and emotional play runs through May 13, but tonight through Friday ticket prices are fluid. There are no reservations, so you’ll have to get to the box office at 7:00 p.m. to snatch up cheap seats for the 8:00 p.m. show [The Sanctuary Theatre, Casa del Pueblo Methodist Church, 1459 Columbia Road NW]…
Wow! It seems like we haven’t posted anything since last year! We hope you enjoyed your holiday and are at least 86% less hungover than yesterday. The new year begins with an extra day off for many of you, as federal offices are closed in remembrance of President Ford. Those planning to go to work, or for that matter, anywhere else, should heed these street closures and parking restrictions. If you’re out and about and…

By DCist contributer Clare Kelley. D.C. has a lot of important people going to a lot of important places. However, unless your vehicle has flashing lights and sirens on it, a pedestrian’s life and/or safety is actually more important than where you’re going. With that in mind, DCist hereby announces the following rules for Militant Pedestrians, effective immediately: 1. If, when stopped at a red light, your car is anywhere in the crosswalk, pedestrians are…
