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 [...]
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 [...]
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.

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! [...]
