Somehow we missed the update on this: That e-mail touched off a chain of responses ranging from promises to never patronize the bar again to a debate about the quality of the pub’s burgers. But then Wonkette picked up the item, and all hell broke loose on Twitter. “Dear Black Squirrel, you’re a bar. I [...]

Why does Adams Morgan bar The Black Squirrel have a current-affairs blog? And why does it, in between posts about sports, get political in a city where its customers are very political? The Messicans made them do it. The next time Stephen Colbert slips into his alter ego and skewers the illegal-alien issue to laughs, [...]

Here’s a tour of the neighborhood — good stuff and bad alike — by Adams Morgan community organizer Bryan Weaver. It’s a ripoff of a much funkier homage to a famous old Paul Wellstone spot, but Weaver worked for Wellstone so it’s kosher … unlike Weaver’s kids, who appear to speak Spanish. Anyway, this wins [...]

Wednesday, September 9: The day, the month, the year, it’s all the same — 9/9/09 for those of you playing along at home — and what a great gimmick opportunity this presents! Want pizza? Great, because it’s only $9 at Ellas Wood Fried Pizza. Want Beer? Rocket Bar is offering tons of specials on Magic [...]

Tonight through Saturday, August, 1: If you’ve ever wanted to pretend you were Christopher Walken, or contemplate good versus evil using only pantomime, or if you just like watching people attempt to be funny on the spot (and then laugh at them when they don’t succeed), go to the Improvapalooza at the Source theater this [...]

Two new bakeries are headed to the 14th and U neighborhood, and, this, according to some, means 14th and U is the new 18th and Columbia! Who wouldn’t want to be associated with crime, crowded streets, and large slices of pizza?! But if bakeries are a sign that you’ve made it, we thought we’d take [...]

Adams Morgan is right behind the Herpes Triangle in terms of trashy, violence-prone STD-producing bars. It’s the perfect destination if all you want to do is drink a lot, dance provocatively with random strangers and leave your dignity behind for an evening. But just because you’re visiting one of the sleaziest destinations in the District, [...]

Complete with a French-accented waitstaff, a large menu of generally delicious Gallic brunch dishes, and a charming bistro atmosphere and decor (including an outdoor seating area), Napoleon Bistro in Adams Morgan is an excellent brunch choice.

For whatever reason, the phenomenon of eating multiple small plate dishes (also know as tapas) as a meal has taken over dining in the District. There are some food trends that we moderately enjoy: Cupcakes, we can deal with those. Wine bars, they work for impressing dates and for the wining and dining of summer [...]

It sucks when real holidays and artificial holidays occur on the same day, because then you face far too many opportunities to eat and drink at cheap prices. LIFE IS SO HARD. Today is both Cinco de Mayo and First Tuesday in Adams Morgan. So you can dust off your sombrero, drink really cheap margaritas, pretend [...]

Tryst in Adams Morgan has all the makings of a perfect coffee house, except for one tiny problem: the coffee is just not very good. They pride themselves on fresh organic coffee or whatever, but it always ends up coming to you lukewarm and watery. The animal crackers on the side don’t help, either. It’s [...]

For those of you that are “busy” looking for “jobs” today, the Town Tavern in Adams Morgan is probably a much less depressing option. Their Mardi Gras party has been going on since before many of us were awake this morning, and although the time for free Budweiser has already passed, there are still many [...]

Christian Kids in Virgina are trying to convince libraries to balance their “pro-gay” collections with books about how Jesus writes passive-aggressive Twitters or whatever every time a gay person smiles. [Washington Post] Major Fenty fired one of his neighborhood services coordinators for refusing to buy him Chamomile tea. It helps him sleep at night, dammit!  [...]
