Briefly noted... The general manager and bar manager at Eventide have left the Clarendon restaurant citing differences in how the bar and rooftop have been "going in a different direction."

I know that others have previously mentioned Travel + Leisure's list of the 50 best new restaurants in America, but I finally got a chance to review the magazine's related slideshow. I dutifully clicked on one slide after another after another, trying to discover which cities outperformed D.C. for these 50 coveted spots. Our metro [...]
Those with a good set of wheels and an iron stomach can hit not one, not two, but four food festivals this weekend. So why bother trying to sample them all? Well, because in one sweet weekend, you can get a fine overview of the area's eats. The Taste of Wheaton on Sunday is a [...]
