Feasting Famously with Allie Hagan The Suri’s Burn Book author dishes on eating/drinking in The District and what “Suri” would think of the DC food scene.  Blogging takes time. Blogging well takes talent and time. Blogging as the personality of a celebrity child commenting (judging) other celebrities, their children, and their choice in attire – and turning said blog into a book – takes time, talent, and an entire set of skills that many of us are completely void of. However, Allie Hagan, George Washington University alumna and seven-year Washington, DC resident mastered this art with the launch, and extreme success, of her blog Suri’s Burn Book, and subsequent printed book bearing the namesake. Suri’s Burn Book is, as stated on the website, “A study in Suri and the people who disappoint her.” Suri, in this case being Suri Cruise, the daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. On the blog, Allie (writing as the fashion-forward, ever-judging “Suri”) despises her mother’s sense of fashion, loathes the children of Will and Jada Smith, and desperately wishes to save Penelope Kardashian-Disick from whatever doomed fate she is certain to fall prey to. But what of Allie Hagan the person? I chat with her about the Washington, DC food scene, get the scoop on some of her favorite restaurants, and sneak a few comments from “Suri,” in this FamousDC exclusive.

Big shout out to Shane Harris and his piece on Mark Knoller, “the unofficial White House statistician” that just about every White House flack and hack has relied on to keep meticulous stats on the presidential ongoings. From stump speeches to the putting green, Knoller knows just how many appearances the last …

Cliff aka Precipice aka Crag aka Bluff – Thanks to the good graces of Congress and their ability to problem solve, we find ourselves faced with another “cliff” two mere months away. While major kudos should go to Ben Bernanke for coining “fiscal cliff,” we feel it is time to move …

Freshman Congressman Raul Ruiz was probably a little surprised to see the name change on his new, official house website. We’re not referring to the lack of MD although our hopes are high that it will eventually say Doctor Congressman.

Out with the old and in with the new. 84 new to be exact. At 12pm EST today the 113th Congress was sworn in by Joe Biden followed by Rep. Boehner’s re-election as Speaker of the House. Like the first day of high school, the cool kids already knew where …

The first weekend in January is always a mix of excitement for the new year and hangover from the holidays. However, though we’re detoxing from cookies and champagne, that doesn’t mean we can’t have a weekend filled with fun in DC.

Though government may wait till the last minute, the internet is always on top of things. Thankfully throughout this Fiscal Cliff nightmare we had this Les Fiscal Miserables tumblr to keep us amused. We’ve selected some of our favorites:  

Like every good city, DC does New Year’s Eve right with every bar staying open late, complimentary champagne popping, hotels throwing big parties and plenty of musical guests at venues throughout the District. With so much going on we pulled some of the best parties this year and a few that we’ll definitely be stopping by. Here’s to kicking off 2013 with a bang!

Like all good blogs, media outlets, YouTube celebrities and list makers, we’ve jumped on the bandwagon and decided to take a look back at 2012. It was a big year for us; new look, new writers, more parties, more ducks, same great features, our always amazing readers and, of course, the best city to live and work in made these past 12 months an adventure. Here’s the FamousDC Top 20 in 2012.

Best card we’ve received this holiday season.
