The 9:30 Club as you know it today- an award winning, freestanding venue just north of U Street- wasn’t always on the corner of 9th and V NW. As a less-than-five-years-category newbie to DC, I’ve been to a couple dozen concerts at the 9:30, but didn’t know much about its history (including its  mysterious …

FamousDC’s must see shows for July. We even hooked you up with a full (enough) playlist available on Spotify.

With the launch of their new website, online ordering (amen) and expansion to cities outside of DC, the sweetgreen folks have released a video on just how the sweet life got started.

After this crazy week all we want is a lazy summer weekend. Lucky for you we have just the line up for you to wind down and enjoy the city.

Possibly some of the most politically correct, yet still hilarious, trash talk we’ve seen. Except for Rep. Wasserman Schultz. She’s gunnin’ for the press corps.

A trip to 8 bars in search of delicious bourbon by Aly Casey Dupont Circle was buzzing this weekend because bourbon enthusiasts descended upon the area eager to sample eight premium bourbons from eight different venues at the DC Bourbon Bash. Part of the ticket sales, $55/person will go to the Lead The Way Fund which helps support U.S. Army Rangers who are injured, currently serving, or to help the families of Rangers who have died in combat. Upon check-in at either James Hoban’s or Buffalo Billiards participants receive a badge with what looks like a scavenger hunt map printed on it. The map is a list of all eight of the venues and along the sides of the badge gives one details about what bourbons are at each bar.  You can start in any order, but once you had your 1-ounce pour the barkeep punches a hole through the venue on your badge to ensure you don’t circle back with “Nope, me? Never been here, sir.” The first stop is up to you as you can hit the bars in any order. The Science Club seems to be the best bet as it is the furthest south. The reasoning is to hit Science Club, head east to Bar Rouge, walk up 16th and cut due west to go to Board Room and Maddy’s before heading back into the fray that is Dupont Circle. This logic proves helpful as the out of the way bars are usually less packed than those right in Dupont Circle.

Standing squat on the corner of 16th and Eye Streets, the Third Church of Christ Scientist remains one of the more interesting buildings in the District that won’t be standing there much longer. The octagonal complex is a mere 42 years old and supports an arm of bells that juts …

Today marks the official day of summer and it couldn’t be better that it’s on a Friday. Time to get this sunny weekend started.

A beer snob with a reporting problem gives us the scoop on the best bars to be seen, not seen, and her yeas and nays on entertaining. If you’ve been in DC for more than an hour, you probably know Nikki Schwab, or at least of her. You definitely have seen her work all those times you were stuck on the Red Line, and you’ve certainly seen her out and about at all of the District’s hottest parties and events, either covering them for a story, hiding in the bushes stalking celebrities, or imbibing beverages because it’s DC and that’s what we do.

See y’all Friday at Tortilla Coast. Don’t forget to wear your Frager’s shirt!

Posted to our FamousDC flickr group, Corey Clarke’s picture of Frager’s Hardware post-fire shows the loss the neighborhood suffered.

Settled on the edge of the Mt. Vernon neighborhood, a self-described historic hotel projects into DC an image of its near-past. Intricate eaves of the Morrison-Clark Inn lock together under an Asian-inspired, red tiled roof. Its dark, grand woodwork and bold colors lend a masculine touch, but its history and leadership were commanded by prominent women in the early 1900s.
