In any other establishment, a man balancing on the edge of a bar sink wielding a blowtorch would be cause for alarm. At Bonfire, it just means Chad Spangler is about to make a cocktail. If you’ve walked around Downtown DC in the last month or two, you may have […]
The highly anticipated opening of RPM Italian in D.C. was the place to be on Monday night. With RPM Chicago having such great success, it had left us wondering when area native, Giuliana Rancic, would acquire her D.C. restaurant real estate. The wait is over. The excitement in the room […]
Elephant in the room: DC is a city of overachievers. I guess I’m not surprised. We live in one of the most (over)educated, politically-charged cities in the world. Everyone is constantly sizing each other up. I’ve heard DC locals compete over having the longest commute or the worst landlord, like […]
Think back to a few weeks ago. January 1, 2016. How was that liver feeling? A lil’ swollen? Memory a bit fuzzy? Don’t sweat it, you were in good company. Hopefully, after you army-crawled your way from the bed to the fridge and procured the Gatorade, you curled up with […]

I don’t really go on vacation. It’s not that I don’t want to. I have that same laundry list of reasons most of us have: job doesn’t involve travel, grad school, full time job, no car, strapped for cash. My apartment doesn’t allow pets, but if it did, I’d have […]
Nearly 20,000 people are expected to descend upon the DMV this October for DC VegFest, a free vegetarian festival hosted by Compassion Over Killing. Ahead of the festivities, we were invited to Busboys and Poets on September 21 for an exclusive preview of what’s to come for the district’s kindest […]

Recently Taylor Gourmet announced they were bringing cheesesteaks to all of their locations.
