On the heels of #NerdProm, DC totally keeps out-cooling itself. May 4th has become the unofficial Star Wars Holiday given the resemblance of the phrases “May the force be with you” and “May the fourth be with you.” I know right. Too cool! We wanted to tell you about a […]
We were recently invited to check out Richard Sandoval’s “pan Latin steakhouse” Toro Toro in the heart of downtown Washington, DC. The atmosphere is lounge-esq without being too loud or clubby, which is often a problem with central downtown DC places trying to standout. The decor is very Latin steakhouse: […]
The beloved season of cherry blossoms, outdoor patios, bright colors and refreshing flavors is officially upon Washington D.C. Michael Mina’s BOURBON STEAK is springing into the season by releasing its updated cocktail menu today. Thanks to an exclusive afternoon tasting with BSDC’s stellar staff, THL has the exclusive on the drinks Washingtonians must order. Located […]
As soon as I flipped my calendar on the morning of March 1, I had a good feeling. You can sense it in the air; we are slowly inching our way towards warmer months. Spring is arguably DC’s best season: slushy sidewalks are a thing of the past, humidity has […]
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 […]
Tucked in a corner at the North end of DuPont Circle, you might overlook McClellan’s Retreat when making a late-night Florida Avenue trek to Adams Morgan. The façade doesn’t try to call your attention because, frankly, McClellan’s doesn’t need it. It’s been just over a year since this spot opened […]
This past fall, Washingtonians rejoiced at the opening of Red, White and Basil, an affordable, semi-fast casual Italian eatery. We say semi-fast casual because the food is quick and selected from a prix fixe menu, but also because the atmosphere isn’t too fast. The space is warm and homey, thanks […]
I am a born-and-bred New Englander and I love it up there, but in Massachusetts, we don’t have happy hours. I know – it’s a vile, repugnant thought. Legally, bars and restaurants in my home state cannot reduce the price of alcohol at any time for any reason, which means […]
It’s 2 AM and the bar is announcing final call. There’s a group of PhD students on your right debating the patriarchal undercurrents of Drake lyrics (conclusion: Hotline Bling is a “highly misogynistic, though overall catchy musical narrative that adeptly depicts the dynamics of modern romance”) and a lone chick […]
Spoiler alert: the pie is not the only drunk thing in this story. I did not go home for Thanksgiving this year, so I joined a friend and her family up in Maryland. Last week, as I was daydreaming about what savory side dish I would bring, my oven […]
Washington foodies flocked to Union Market with glee this past weekend for Emporiyum on November 14 and 15. With 75+ vendors – a mix of local favorites and out-of-town eats from cities including Brooklyn, Baltimore, Raleigh and Charleston – eaters could sample small bites, order entire entrees and purchase goodies to […]
