Happy first weekend of March! Here’s your weekend lineup! Enjoy! Friday Ceiba – there’s nothing I like better than a good happy hour and Ceiba has one of the best in town. Break out of work a little early for the 3-6pm HH that includes $5 cocktails (margs today!) or …

Happy weekend Famous readers! Here’s your weekend lineup this last weekend of February. Bonus: it’s 70 degrees today! TGIF! Friday Jim Gaffigan – my brother and I saw this Georgetown alum last night and he was hilarious! I encourage you to grab whatever final tickets remain for his shows tonight …

It’s time for the weekend *again* and score – it’s also a holiday weekend thanks to George Washington. President’s Day is always a fun time to get your history on in the DofC, spend your time partying every night since you can sleep in on Monday, or celebrate Mardis Gras …

Dumpstaphunk – the name alone incites curiosity. So, when I saw them on the bill at my latest favorite venue in DC – The Hamilton – I knew I had to be there last Saturday night to get a glimpse of what I had been told is the funkiest band …

Happy weekend folks! Here’s my lineup for all your weekend fun. Enjoy! Thursday Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe with Anders Osbourne – so sad I will not be making this show due to yet again back injury annoyances, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss it. Grab your tickets now …

Valentine’s – a day you either love or hate. Everything is pink and couples woo each other with roses and chocolates, while singles throw anti-Vday parties with black balloons and voodoo dolls. Don’t you just love it? Hopefully by now, if you do have a Valentine, you have secured a …

When the words Crystal City are uttered, the response is rarely a jump for party-going joy.  On Friday night, I learned this will no longer be the case with the opening of the resto-lounge, Melody Tavern, located on the ground level of The Eclipse on Center Park Condominiums.  The 6,700 square-foot live-music venue and …

Last Thursday night, I ventured out to the uber-chill jazz club, Bohemian Caverns, to check out The Hot of Nights – Raleigh, NC-based friends Chris Boerner, Matt Douglas, and Nick Baglio – with Dutchman Nicolay, a member of the Grammy-nominated Wilmington, NC band, The Foreign Exchange.  Together, they have re-arranged …

Let’s Get Ready to Rumble! Because I love Famous readers so much, I present you with the *Golden Ticket* to Super Bowl XLVI viewing parties in DC.

Masks, sequins, tuxes, oh my! That was the scene Saturday night at the Tenfold Forty’s Black & White Affair at F. Scott’s in Georgetown, and from what my sources tell me, it was a great time! Founded in February 2009, The Tenfold Forty, a group of 40 women dedicated to …

Happy Weekend FamousDC readers! While I’m recovering from 2 slipped discs, I hope you will take advantage of my picks for fun this weekend. Hey, somebody has to party for me! Enjoy! Thursday 4th Annual H Street Karaoke Championship – expect some crazy costumes and wild lyrics at this annual …

I’m not an NBA fan usually. Having grown up in North Carolina and being an alumni of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I get my court kicks through college b-ball, preferably my beloved Heels (who won last night!). But when FamousDC was invited to the Wizards-Raptors game last night, …

Being Irish and a fan of whiskey, it was destiny that steered me to the Irish Whiskey Public House – the newest bar creation by Mighty Pint owners Reese Gardner, Mike Knapp and Sam Harper. Located in the building that used to house Porter’s Dining Saloon, the restaurant/bar has three …
