St. Patrick’s Day joins Mardi Gras and New Year’s Eve as one of those celebrations whose continued observance relies on arbitrary binge drinking.

Georgetown — home of the cocktail-party-lovin’ metro-hatin’ DC elite — is not the easiest neighborhood in which to relax. But Pizzeria Paradiso, winner of a gajillion best-of-DC awards, is a refuge. MORE »

Like America’s most beloved chief of staff, Dupont Circle’s Eighteenth Street Lounge is good looking, cultured and aloof. MORE »

Dupont Circle South is notable for its large well-trafficked bars and startlingly high CVS-to-humans ratio. One thing it doesn’t seem to have in great volume is small-scale neighborhood watering holes.  DC Bread & Brew, a new cafe and bar on 20th and N, seeks to right this terrible wrong. MORE »

There’s a big VP debate watch party tomorrow night in Washington, D.C., at the James Hoban’s bar in Dupont Circle, and its guest of honor will be a gal named “Elizabeth.” Elizabeth, for those of you not IN-THE-KNOW, is the most famous celebrity in the world now, as she is “the only Wasilla resident living in Washington, DC.” Can you even imagine how rich she must be now? And yet, Elizabeth was kind enough to let your associate editor Gchat her in the middle of the day for an informal interview. Among other topics, we discuss Wasilla’s famed retail outlets, meth, moose guts, what Bristol Palin’s REALLY LIKE, and Palin’s years as Wasilla mayor. Does Elizabeth like her hometown VP candidate? Well, here’s a hint: this party tomorrow night is doubling as an Obama fundraiser. Interview below! MORE »

Any idea what’s up?” Yeah no clue whatsoever, since we haven’t left our house in 10 months. Maybe Miss Buffalo Trollop Chip is showing off her cans for the local enforcement officers?

DOES THIS MEAN THAT IT HAS TO STOP?: “WASHINGTON - A Metro station manager and a Metro custodian were arrested on prostitution charges after an undercover transit police investigation found they arranged sexual trysts for money from inside the Dupont Circle Metro station.” Oh boy! Apparently the station manager was the contact on a flier advertising “sex trips” to Brazil. Are those still on, or do we get refunds? [Examiner]

Dupont Circle got a grim preview of the new America — constant war against everything all the time — when the beloved pet of a friendly street preacher was murdered, execution style, in front of horrified residents.

Exactly three hours before the president used the solemn remembrance of 9/11 victims to sell the latest White House war propaganda, a federal police officer shot “Precious.”
