Market Tavern Opens in Clarendon
I’ve been a long time fan of Michael Sternberg and his restaurants. Back in the day, as they say, I practically lived at Sam & Harry’s in Tysons Corner and was seen haunting the 19th Street NW property. I even used to spend time and money at the Essential Grille, an open and shut restaurant [...]
Streets of Georgetown Opens
Who knew Washington D.C. was the home of so many stylish men (quiet in the peanut gallery, please)?

Ah, the cupcake wars.

It’s a Riot: The Riot Act Comedy Theater Opens in Penn Quarter
By Punch Pulse Correspondent Niki Clark My boyfriend cracks me up. I swear if he wasn’t a geospatial astronaut (he’s does something so super smart that I’m not quite sure what exactly it is), he could have his very own comedic stand-up act.
