And to help you celebrate the victory 6 hours later they will be offering $3 beers and half price cheeseburgers. [Lucky Bar ]

Food to look forward to: 14th Street NW continues to outpace the rest of the city with its concentration of shops and restaurants of the exact same variety: Two new Italian food restaurants are slated to open there later this year. Maybe one day, they'll open something practical in the area, like an affordable supermarket .... Delicious seafood restaurant Tacklebox is looking to open a new location in Cleveland Park and the Borders Downtown will soon be a 35,000 square foot CHAIN restaurant, to the horror of just about everyone in DC.
