Suits stars Patrick J. Adams as Mike, a brilliant college dropout who takes LSATs for other people as a living, and Gabriel Macht as Harvey, a high-powered—now senior partner!—corporate lawyer for a top New York City firm. When Harvey is forced to take on an associate for his firm, which of course only hires Harvard grads, Mike fakes his way through the interview and is hired on the spot.

The Gold Cup’s quickly approaching, folks. OK, OK, that one too, but also the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the continent’s international soccer championship (it does seem remarkable, however, that the Virginia Gold Cup web site gets more hits than a bi-annual soccer tournament that crowns the champion of all of North and Central America and the Caribbean). Lucky for us, Washington has been named one of the 13 host cities in this year’s event. Even luckier,…
In the Internet age, far fewer people still regularly turn to a paper version of the yellow pages, but that doesn’t mean several companies aren’t still delivering phone books to homes and businesses in Washington every year. We spotted about 5-6 brand new Yellow Books on the sidewalk on 9th Street NW in Shaw (around the corner from DCist HQ) over the weekend, having been delivered to what are clearly boarded up and abandoned buildings…
As wine professionals, this is the time of year when we go into overdrive helping you, the consumer, fulfill all of your wine needs for parties and gift giving. As wine lovers, we relish being able to share our love of wine with others. We know that buying wine anytime can be an overwhelming an experience, but possibly more so now that you have to cover your family, friends, co-workers, and a mystery person whose…
Black Friday, the be-all, end-all of go-crazy shopping days (well, not for those celebrating “Buy Nothing Day”), is less than two turkey-filled days away. But in our blind rush to leave a tithe at the alter of mass consumerism, we often lose our thrifty ways. Not to worry – for those of us with office jobs, that raise is right around the corner, coming soon to help ease those credit card bills come January. Right?…
D.C. United played out a relatively dull and featureless 0-0 draw with the Chicago Fire on Saturday night, but the real celebrations would come on Sunday night. The Colorado Rapids scored in the final minutes to pull out an upset over Chivas USA, 2-1, making D.C. United the first team to ever successfully defend the Supporters’ Shield. It probably wasn’t the stylish way United will have wanted to take the regular season crown, but with…
Written by DCist Contributor Elisabeth Grant It was the best of times (for pumpkin lovers), it was the worst of times (for pumpkin haters). It’s that time of year again; the leaves are starting to change, the weather’s promising to get a little cooler (finally), and everything is starting to taste a little more pumpkin-y. But eaters and drinkers beware, not all pumpkin flavors are created equal. They can range from too-sweet fake to more…
One of the best things about covering hockey is that you get the summer off. Just ask USA Today’s Gary Graves, TV Analyst Darren Pang or the anonymous Western Canadian hockey experts on this conference call. All of them are really excited to watch what happens when Alexander Ovechkin plays with newly signed free agent center Michael Nylander. But as Ovechkin kindly told these vacationing reporters when they asked him how he felt about it,…
