From an email:

“This coming Friday, December 11th, will be the 5th Annual Wig Walk.

The idea behind the Wig Walk is a simple: YOU wear a wig, hang out with friends (new and old), drink at several Adams Morgan bars and support a great cause, children!

All online proceeds from the sale of wristbands go to benefit the Children’s National Medical Center and will give YOU special discounts at the three sponsoring bars. Wristbands can be picked up online at http://wigwalk.org/ for $20.

Schedule: Friday, Dec. 11th
6-8: Toledo Lounge
8-10: Madam’s Organ
10-12: Chief Ike’s”


This may be the most unusually decorated mailbox I’ve ever come across. It was found in Adams Morgan.


Tim Carman from City Paper’s Young and Hungry did some digging and found a quote from the owner:

“New establishment is going to be a new American restaurant called Savour and a lounge called Sutra. I have an executive chef from the Phoenix Park Hotel in D.C. who is on board who will be making new American cuisine. He is Vietnamese so it should be a nice fusion of American and Asian cuisine.”

Carman also says the new spot is scheduled to open Friday.

A reader wanted to know if there were any special happy hours tonight so I thought I’d share this email with Adams Morgan options:

“HAPPY HOURS: From 4:30pm – till 9pm

(at the bar w/both drink & appetizer specials)

Perry’s: tapas & drinks at bar 5:30-7:30pm

Tom Tom; Spaghetti Garden HappyHr:6-9pm

Town Tavern, “Beer is the new Black”
($2 domestic beer all day)

Casa Oaxaca’s “Charro Negro” specials

El Tamarindo’s Happy Hour is all day!

Bardia’s: Black Turbo dog beer!

L’enfant Cafe – Drink specials 6 – 7:30pm”


El Tamarindo is located at 1785 Florida Ave, NW. I know winter is coming up but I think if this section of Florida Ave. get some outdoor seating it will really improve the overall feel of the block. They are only applying for a spot to seat 14 people. Looking forward to it!


This condo is located at 2627 Adams Mill Road, NW:

You can find more info and photos here.

I gotta say this looks much nicer than I thought it was going to. What do you think of the condo itself? Does $369,900 sound reasonable for this 1 bed/1 bath?


I thought this one was pretty cool from Adams Morgan. I was really struck by the angle of the pop up on the right hand side.
