#Weekend

Awesome events: Satisfy that sweet tooth this weekend at DC’s first and only edible cookie dough confectionery, The Cookie Jar DC!; Half of Simon and Garfunkel will be performing tonight at Merriweather Post Pavilion (hint: it’s not Garfunkel); Get jazzy and snazzy with us at DC Jazz Festival; Don’t miss this year’s Pride Parade…unless you hate fun; Baseball and pups? Home run; The weather tonight is gonna be good – like, watch-a-movie-outside good; You don’t need a field for this soccer and hip-hop inspired performance; Apparently June is National Rosé Month and we must respectfully observe it; Jack Johnson singing to us on a Sunday is as #SundayVibes as it gets.

#ORIGINALSERIES

We wanted to know what it was like to be an intern, but not so much that we wanted to find out ourselves. Our intern Josh did the work for us in episode 6 of FamousDC’s non-Netflix original series: Life of An Intern. Miss a few episodes? Binge here.

#LOCAL

What is dead may never die, but will turn into our new fave pop-up bar; Meet the DC couple that wants to plan your next surprise vacation; Kellyanne Conway just wants to have fun; Heady hats off to Katy Tur and Jake Sherman #weareeverywhere

#NATIONAL

Broad to the bone; Sorry, Tupac – ‘Wonder Woman’ is the most tweeted about movie in 2017; The Russians have found Britney Spears; Apple keeps making new things that we didn’t know we needed; Ten things out of James Comey’s hearing (at least); Lester Holt watched a Julia Roberts movie before hosting the first presidential debate.

#EDITORSPICK

Let’s just be honest with ourselves – we all have those weird habits that we do when nobody’s watching, but we’d be embarrassed to publicly admit.

#SOCIALSEEN

Thanks for coming out to AdvaMed’s Showcase on Medical Technology this week!

Moviegoers are salty and it’s not because they ate too much popcorn

We’re not sayin’, but we’re just sayin…

We met some badass women at CNN’s Badass Women DC Event!

Sometimes a seat at the table means a little chair sitting next to it

Who do you turn to for the latest in Macedonian news? The people of DC

This is DC AF
