Remember in the movie Grease when Sandy (I think it was Sandy) said she couldn't go out on a Saturday night because she had to wash her hair? My excuse is the PR budget end-of-year hell I have to finish before I leave for Palm Beach on Monday. But, like any self-respecting procrastinator, I decided a post on how to pack for a trip was WAY more urgent. I blame @frenchcoral for the suggestion.
My Top 10 Packing/Travel Rules:
1. Think about where you are going & what your vacation "theme" should be. Are you preppy? tropical? nyc urban meets a hot place? etc. etc. Picking a fashion theme creates an easy filter by which you can edit your wardrobe into the perfect vacation capsule.
2. Count the nights vs. days. Ok this may sound obvious but sometimes it's easy to forget what the days actually mean clothing wise.
3. Mentally start packing by what you would need to wear to breakfast, lunch and dinner and imagine each outfit to completion.
4. Keep you day look easy and minimal so you really feel like a rockstar at night.
5. Always assume it will be cooler at night. If you're smart you'll have your DKNY Cozy right by your side. With the more than 12 ways to wear it, you can pretty much look different every night when you're cold. Oh and it will be your BEST plane friend ever. Don't know what the cozy is? Click here.
6. I don't care what amazing manicure you think you get- but breaking news, sunblock takes off nail polish, so bring the polish for touch ups. There is nothing worse than chipped nail polish.
7. Pack your toiletries and cosmetics the day you are leaving. Pack AS you use them. This way you won't forget anything because you just did your routine instead of trying to remember what you use for your routine.
8. Make a list the night before of everything that is yet to be packed because you still need it. The usual culprits are the blow dryer (wait you didn't think I actually would depend on a hotel blow dryer right?) and your chargers. *Always check for chargers in the outlets before checking out to. I have forgotten WAY too many.
9. Always share your exact travel plans with someone who is not going on the trip. #SafetyFirst
10. Never play the "I'll get it when I get there game". You will lose.
To make a long-ish story short, we are hiring a new PR Coordinator. While interviewing CandidateX (who has been out of college a year), I asked the typical "do you have any questions?" question. She replied, "Yes. Is there room for growth?".
Umm ok there are two schools of thought here. My initial reaction was: ok you have barely held a job so let's focus on the position you are currently TRYING to land. Get the job and prove yourself above and beyond the "job description" and then we can discuss "growth". To me, CandidateX sounded like she was eyeing the next step before she took the first step. I also weighed this question against the time spent at her last job which was a year and a bit.
CM in my office had another thought. Hers was that she wants to stay somewhere for the long haul and wants to know there's an opportunity to do so here.
I asked one of our Human Resources executives and she had an immediate response: "That's a very generational response. The younger generations expect to get what they want when they want it and if they don't, they move on to the next." She also explained to me that this is the first time ever there are four generations in the workforce. Wow love a good fact!
I know if you google "what to ask on a job interview", asking about growth is a typical question, but is it time to rewrite the rules? Which camp do you sit in and please do tell me if you are the interviewer or the interviewee?
Tweet me @dkny
I'm not exactly sure why, but Amber in Donna Karan is about to make Shalom in Michael Kors very wet-
I'm a huge fan of the show Mad Men. Besides the amazing writing and character development, the wardrobe is perfection.
Why? Not because I love every fabric or even every design, but because every "look" is done to the nines. It's what I like to call "proper" dressing.
If I could live in an era where proper dressing was required, I'd be a really happy camper. But alas I don't, so I try to incorporate that "posh" dressing mentality into my style anyway.
Bows, ruffles, defined waists and of course 50's inspired circle skirts are nothing short of divine- always have been, always will be. There is a sensuality to proper dressing that is underrated powerful.
For Donna Karan PreFall 2012, Donna basically designed some looks that will go down in my fashion memory as perfect. Nothing quite knocks 'em dead like an impeccably styled look complete with an exaggerated bow belt. But to make it even better, the bow belts are in fact closed pockets. Come February fashion week I promise you will see me working the shows with my iphone and BlackBerry in each half of those oversized j'amazing bows.
What I love about Donna is that she can be inspired by Haiti one minute and then back in a penthouse on Park Avenue the next. She called this collection Wo-Man because she believes there is a man in every woman. Plays on the masculine and feminine work throughout this collection, but for me it's all woman and I just can't wait to play dress up in real life.
It's really the world according to numbers isn't it?
Followers. Retweets. @replies. Friends. Fans. Likes. Klout.
It's a an engagement race and it can be pretty exhausting if you let it consume you.
The other night @stephkornblum tweeted a link on Social Media Today about Klout. Stuff that they may or may not be doing with the information they gather from having access to our accounts. When I read it, I began to really think-
For the past few months when I would glance every once in a while at the account it really irked me. On one hand, it hit the nail on many heads. On the other, it was so way off base it bothered me. Some people Klout said I was "influenced by" I didn't even know. It said I was in expert in things like "horror" which was sort of ridiculous (note to self: stop tweeting words like DYING). It would tell me if I was more or less influential. It drove me crazy. Bottom line, it made me question my performance in a way I don't need to, because here's a newsflash, I'm not in school anymore and p.s. I don't miss report cards.
So after reading the social media today article I decided to revoke Klout's access from my account. Why? Pretty much because I was tired of being graded in such a subjective, random way only an algorithm could conjure up. What's more is that I started being way too excited when someone gave me a +K on something. It was time to take a vacation from Klout.
Within a few minutes of me tweeting that I revoked access, Klout's Senior Marketing Manager tweeted me to see if we could discuss what I was upset about and if there was any way they could help. Impressive social media response. Well, basically fix the above. The analysis is flawed and what's bad about that is the seriousness by which people are starting to weigh a Klout score. In my opinion, right now we're playing high school superlatives but in the real world. No bueno.
Since I have revoked access I'll admit I'm slightly bummed when I see +K's about me that probably won't even count. And every time I get an email from Klout about perks I'm due, I do think twice. It's out there. I'm in here. I'm not entirely sure how long I'll stay on my Klout vacation, but for the moment I feel free of judgment and it feels pretty liberating. Oh waiter, I'll have another and this time don't forget the little umbrella.
Klout is like the driver sign on the school bus that reads "How am I doing?". But you never asked and they told you anyway and they told a lot of other people too. I think Klout is a brilliant concept but I think with brilliance comes responsibility. I believe Klout can do better in owning up to it's methodology. Oh and p.s. Klout, if you are selling our information, please stop. That's so last season.
What do you think? What does @Klout need to do to improve?
This is a anxiety-inducing question for many, but yet the answer is so simple. You need to dress as if you actually HAVE that job. So, if you are interviewing for a brand, dress in the spirit of that brand. The person sitting across from you needs to be able to picture you in that role. So make it easy. They say never judge a book by its cover, but we all know the cover counts. Make sure your outfit works for you, not against you.
Nope. I graduated with a BS in Neurobiology & Physiology. Get a good education and make sure your internships are in your area of career interest. They are the stepping stones to a job in that field. My story:
YES! Generally for school credit. To apply, email email@example.com and yes we consider international students.
The DKNY Cozy is a wrap sweater you can wear more than 12 ways. It even has its own iPhone app.

View All Recipes Which Use "White Chocolate". Add Information to "white chocolate" or Add a New Entry.
In many countries, white chocolate is not classified as chocolate at all, as it contains no cocoa solids, which gives it the smooth ivory or beige color. White "chocolate" is the most fragile form of all chocolates and close attention must be paid to it while heating or melting as it will burn and seize very easily unless heated very slowly. White chocolate originates from the cocoa (cacao) plant but lacks "chocolate" flavor due to the absence of the chocolate liquor which is what gives dark and milk chocolate their intense, bitter flavor and color. White chocolate contains cocoa butter, milk solids, sugar, lecithin and flavorings (usually including vanilla). Cocoa butter is the fat from cocoa beans, extracted from the cocoa beans during the process of making chocolate and cocoa powder. Cocoa butter has very little "chocolate" flavor.
Season: available year-round
How to select: Look for a brand that contains cocoa butter. There are cheaper versions that don't contain any cocoa butter, and their flavor is inferior.
Matches well with: bananas, berries, cherries, coconut, hazelnuts, oranges, raspberries, rum

THERE IS something special brewing at Marist Albion.
You can feel it in the air; you can sense it when you speak to the fine folk who toil away on the field and behind the scenes at this Christchurch rugby fraternity. The future looks very promising.
Marist Albion's new abode, the Papanui Bowls Club, which is a skip pass from Edgar MacIntosh Park (its games, however, are still played at South Hagley Park), was full of life when Yours Truly swung by for a visit two days before the second All Blacks v Ireland test.
It's not surprising, really – it just so happens to be the day of the annual sponsors' luncheon.
A who's who of current and former club members were there to mix and mingle. New Zealand Rugby Union chairman Mike Eagle, Earthquake Recovery minister Gerry Brownlee and Crusaders manager and ex-Canterbury rep Angus Gardiner are among them. It should also be noted that All Blacks coaches Steve Hansen and Aussie McLean and new Canterbury coach Tabai Matson are also proud Marist men and probably would have been there had they not had other commitments.
I'm treated during my time here like I have been part of the landscape since day one. I'm told to help myself to the scrumptious morsels of food on offer via the buffet, and am quickly made to feel welcome by those at the table I am placed at.
The success of the luncheon is a reflection of the good spot that Marist Albion is currently occupying at this stage of its 16-year existence.
Once the festivities are over, I sit down with club captain John Lynch and club legend and life member Maurice Scanlon to ascertain what the secret to its success has been.
They say it's pretty simple: Marist Albion is now conducting business like the Christchurch Marist and Albion clubs used to prior to them combining their respective DNA molecules in 1996.
"It's been a re-birthing and we have been building towards this for quite some time," explains Lynch.
"The last four years we've gone back to how things were done in the old days. It's all about the club, not individuals. We're all in the one canoe going in the same direction."
Lynch says it made sense for Marist Albion to vacate its Riccarton digs and relocate to the Papanui Bowls Club as the facility suits its current needs.
"We felt that it was a good environment that sat well with our values, which are about the people, coaches and the players, and it's working well," says Lynch. "If you get the environment right, things usually take care of themselves."
Indeed they do and the move to a new base has been a godsend for Marist Albion. Players from the club's netball and hockey branches also make themselves at home here on a Saturday afternoon.
"There has been a rejuvenation of people coming back. We've created a good environment and people talk. When you're going up, people want to be part of that."
It's not just off the field where things smell of roses. The on-field situation is just as picturesque.
Former Taranaki and Eastern Province Kings coach Adrian Kennedy is preaching his rugby gospel to the players in the premier side. They must have read the pages of his bible carefully in 2012, because the team has secured itself a spot in the top six of the Canterbury metro competition.
Kennedy's son Ross, who is part of the Crusaders this year, has also been the go-to man in the second row this season. I'm told by Scanlon he has made a "big difference" in the pack.
Overall, player figures are healthy. There are nearly 450 adults and 240 children signed up for this season.
If these numbers and my first-hand experience of the club are anything to go by, then it looks as if it is on the verge of something special.
Here's praying the Lord continues to bless the Marist Albion with good fortune in the years to come.
CLUB LEGEND Maurice Scanlon has seen a bit during his innings with the club, but 2003 is the year he turns to in his encyclopaedic memory bank because it represented a turning point in Marist Albion's history.
It was a good 'un as far as success goes for the premier side, which finally shed its bridesmaid tag by hoisting above its head both the first round title and overall championship banner.
"From there, we have never looked back. That became the turning point and showed people we can achieve that kind of status," remembers Scanlon.
A star-studded Marist Albion – Ben Blair, Cameron McIntyre, Johnny Leo'o and Casey Laulala played that day – took High School Old Boys to, er, school in the final of the second round comp, running out deserved 31-9 winners.
It was the side's third victory that year over HSOB and denied them the chance of annexing a hat-trick of Canterbury banners.
For Scanlon, that result was special for a personal reason: "It was appropriate that we won, because it was my 80th birthday," he quips.
SO COMMITTED is life member Maurice Scanlon to Marist Albion that not even two strokes can keep him away from the place.
Come rain or shine, he is always there and one gets the sense that he will continue to be there until the day oxygen no longer flows through his lungs.
The 88-year-old has been part of the furniture since 1945, firstly with Marist and in more recent times since its merger with Albion, and has got through a small mountain of work in the process.
"He has a passion which burns inside of him," says club captain John Lynch. "When the club has been at a low point, he has been the first to lead the charge."
No job is too big or small, but Scanlon confesses that as he has gotten older he has shied away from the administration side of things.
"I've always been of the opinion that younger people should run the club. I enjoy doing stuff at ground level."
Scanlon is also a life member of the New Zealand Marist Rugby Federation and served two stints as its president.
The Maurice Scanlon Cup, a symbol of his enormous contribution to Marist rugby over the years, has been awarded annually to the person who best epitomises all that is good about the Marist clubs throughout New Zealand.

Pressure is on Benji, but shouldn't we remember SBW went to France (Toulon) for 2 years to learn the game.
With all of the news around concussion do you think there should be safety measures in place for players to ensure they don't play on after a head know? How and who should police that?
With the start of club rugby upon us, how can we maintain the value of the clubs in player pathways and community spirit.

Andrew Adonis, Baron Adonis (born Andreas Adonis, 22 February 1963) is a British Labour Party politician, who was Secretary of State for Transport between 2009-2010. He was first appointed to the government following the 2005 general election, as a Parliamentary Under Secretary of State in the Department for Children, Schools and Families. He previously served as an education and constitution policy advisor on the Number 10 Policy Unit from 1998 to 2005, heading it from 2001 to 2003. Before joining the government, Adonis was an academic at the University of Oxford, then a journalist at the Financial Times and The Observer.
Adonis is the son of an immigrant Greek Cypriot father Nicos, a commis waiter, and an English mother. His mother left the family when he was three and has had no communication with him since. Shortly thereafter, he was placed in care and lived in a council children's home until the age of 11, when Adonis was awarded a local education authority grant to attend Kingham Hill School.
After Kingham Hill, Adonis went to nearby Keble College, Oxford, graduating with a first class BA in modern history. At Christ Church he subsequently completed a D.Phil on the British aristocracy of the late 19th century before being appointed to a fellowship at Nuffield College. From 1991 to 1996 he was a public policy correspondent, industry correspondent and public policy editor at the Financial Times.

Examining 'pellets' can tell you what a bird has been eating
Here at the farm for the past several winters, we have had what we refer to as a "year-round resident red-tailed hawk." We haven't seen it as often this winter as in previous years, but it usually has appeared once a week. This bird also has a favorite white pine tree fairly near the outlet of our now "abandoned" beaver pond. Beneath that tree we have frequently collected "pellets" and have examined them to see what "Brother" red-tail has been eating.
Chris Martin of NH Audubon has reported that New Hampshire's portion of the 2014 National Mid-winter Bald Eagle Survey Day has again set a new state record high for the number of bald eagles seen. Faced with freezing rain and glare-iced roads over most of the state on the observation date Jan. 11, 2014 many dedicated observers rescheduled their "Survey Day" to Jan. 12, 2014 which found 76 volunteers who located 67 individual eagles, eclipsing the previous high of 61 birds, roughly a 10 percent increase. The Lakes Region observers tallied 20 eagles; the Connecticut River region found 19 eagles, and the Merrimack region was third, with 14 individuals. Martin reported this was the 34th consecutive year that NH Audubon has coordinated New Hampshire's part of the National Mid-winter Bald Eagle Survey. (Starting with the winter of 1980-81.) This year on "Survey Day," the observers found 41 adult bald eagles and 26 immatures exceeding previous records of 61 in 2009, 2010, and 2013.
Reference made in last week's column to crabapple seedling prices was unfortunately outdated. Also, three species of shrub favored by wild turkeys in winter are unavailable for sale or importation into New Hampshire. The barberry, multiflora rose, and bittersweet are considered invasive species. Phone numbers were included for several large nurseries; and information may also be obtained from the NH Forest Nursery, Boscawen.

Dinner tonight: Seared tuna Niçoise
Recipe credit to Nick, who's gone through a huge amount of trial and error to settle on this recipe.
I put 4 TBsp of olive oil and 4 TBsp of cider vinegar in a small food processor and blended to a smooth emulsion. Added half a shallot, 2 tsp capers, 2 cloves of garlic, and 2 anchovy fillets (all finely diced), blended again (briefly) to make the sauce. I set that aside to infuse.
Next I boiled some eggs (you can do hard or soft to your preference); those were peeled and quartered. I roughly chopped some olives.
I boiled potatoes (I used 300 g), then at the end of cooking added the fine green beans (I used 200 g). Finally, as I plated the salad (layering beans, potato, olives, and dressing), I briefly seared the tuna.
Pretty easy and very delicious indeed. Definitely going to be making this again soon.
Blackened seared tuna with cajun rice
This was our dinner tonight. Despite seeming very fancy, it took less than 20 minutes of prep time and only about 45 minutes to cook from beginning to end. I'd say this is pretty good cooking-to-impress food — although it does fill your kitchen with an alarming amount of smoke.
I've written up my recipe for O:S! previously. This one came out a lot prettier than the one I pictured there, though. —Rich
Blackened tuna steak with dirty Cajun rice
Dinner tonight was partly down to me fancying some Cajun flavours and partly because I wanted to use my new cast-iron grillet pan. Recipe based on Antony Worrall Thompson's but with some modest modifications. This serves four, more or less (you might want to make a little extra rice).
Cajun dirty rice
I'm calling this "dirty rice" because the original recipe did, but as it omits the crucial chicken liver and giblets it isn't, really.
First, make the spice mix. Combine these ingredients in a small bowl: (Update: following more experimentation, I've changed this spice mix around. See below for details.)
Second, prep the vegetables. Finely dice one green pepper, one onion, one stalk of celery, and three cloves of garlic and set aside.
Third, wash and devein 180 g (6oz) of uncooked prawns (shrimp).
Now it's time to cook. Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a wide heavy-bottom frying pan that you have a lid for. Add a splash of oil to stop the butter burning, then add the prawns and 2 bay leaves. Cook for three minutes over a high heat, stirring occasionally.
Add the vegetables and the spice mix and stir thoroughly, scraping the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat and cook for eight minutes, (again) stirring occasionally.
Add 500 ml (1 US pint) of vegetable stock and stir thoroughly to scrape up anything glued to the bottom. Cook on a very low simmer for another 8-10 minutes. Stir it once or twice to make sure it doesn't stick.
Add 150 g (5.5 oz) of rice (pre-soaked first if necessary, depending on what sort of rice you are using). Stir thoroughly, then place the lid on the pan — if it's not tight-fitting wrap it in foil. Set the heat to the lowest you can and leave for about fifteen minutes while you do the tuna. The exact timing can be tricky here and you might need to adjust based on the sizes of your pan and your hob/burner. You're aiming to catch it just as the last of the water as it's absorbed into the rice, and the rice should be fluffy without being glutenous.
Blackened tuna
First, set a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over the absolute highest heat you can manage for at least ten minutes. You need this pan as hot as possible. While it's heating, make up the spice mix:
Second. Get your tuna steaks — four of them weighing about 140g / 5 oz each and around an inch thick. Wash them and pat them dry thoroughly with kitchen towel. As an alternative to tuna, any sturdy, meaty fish will do — red snapper is traditional but you can use redfish or gilt head bream. I've seen people cook cod this way although I worried it might fall apart.
Third, melt about 200g (7 oz) of butter in a small pan or (carefully) in the microwave. Pour most of it into a small shallow tray. One by one, dip the tuna steaks into the butter to thoroughly coat them, then sprinkle the spice mix liberally all over the surface of the meat and gently rub the mix in with your fingertips.
Once you've done all the steaks, place them into the pan (carefully, so as to not burn your fingers!) and pour a teaspoonful of the remaining melted butter over the top surface (again, carefully — it might flare up). Give them two minutes, flip them over and pour another spoonful of butter over the top. Another two minutes and they're done.
Enough, eat already!
Updated spice mix for the rice
The mix above was just too peppery for Danielle to enjoy, and truth be told although I liked it, I found it a bit overwhelming too. Following several attempts, I'm currently working on the following mix (for 150 g / 5.5 oz of rice):
I use Marigold brand swiss vegetable powder, which is rather less salty than some premade stock. The salt level will need tweaking based on the stock you use.
Seared tuna steak with salsa verde and steamed vegetables
Inspired by a combination of spotting some tasty looking prime tuna steaks in my local Sainsbury's and buying a new cast iron griddle that I wanted to try out, I decided to try my hand at seared tuna on Saturday, a dish I'd never made before. It came out tasting good and looking oh-so-pretty thanks to the griddle pan, although I think it would have benefitted from a marginally shorter cooking time at a marginally greater heat.
Recipe from the BBC; I made this one by-the-book. Salsa verde is something I don't normally care for much but it's a great pairing with the meaty fish and well worth the moderate effort to chop all those herbs. Oh, one small note to myself for next time — when adding oil to the salsa, remember it's going to have lemon juice added too so leave it a little thicker than you want it to end up. I overlooked this, so by the time the juice went it the salsa was thinner than I wanted it to be (you can see it's running down the side of the tuna in my hastily snapped picture!)
I served it with extremely simple steamed vegetables; Jersey Royal new potatoes and runner beans, which are similar to American green beans in flavour but a different shape. For whatever crazy reason I wasn't drinking that day, but a dry white wine with citrus notes would also go well with this.

Grades: Where all 30 teams stand
With the first quarter of the season in the books, Scott Burnside (East) and Pierre LeBrun (West) evaluate each team's performance:
With the first quarter of the season in the books, Scott Burnside (East) and Pierre LeBrun (West) evaluate each team's performance:
Eastern Conference
Pittsburgh PenguinsGrade: A
Trending: Up
Summary: The Penguins roared into the second quarter of the NHL season riding a nine-game winning streak and with captain Sidney Crosby playing as well as he ever has (he has put up points in 16 straight games as of Tuesday). Marc-Andre Fleury appears to have found his mojo, and the Penguins look like a team to be reckoned with come April.
Washington CapitalsGrade: A-minus
Trending: Up
Summary: The Capitals are still collecting points and vying for the conference lead, but are doing so without the usual dominant performances from captain Alex Ovechkin, whose goal and point totals are well off his usual pace. Is that a bad thing? Defensively more sound, the Caps added more blue-line experience in Scott Hannan, which can't hurt. Goaltending remains solid with Semyon Varlamov back in the fold and pushing rookie Michal Neuvirth. Alexander Semin also is having a monster season.
Philadelphia FlyersGrade: A-minus
Trending: Up
Summary: The Flyers seem to have resolved their perennial goaltending question with the emergence of rookie of the year candidate Sergei Bobrovsky, and they boast one of the deepest lineups in the NHL, both on the back end and up front. Also, a breakout season for Claude Giroux has people thinking of a young Peter Forsberg.
Montreal CanadiensGrade: A-minus
Trending: Up
Summary: The Habs don't get much in the way of offense, but with the way netminder Carey Price has been playing, they don't need to. One NHL GM said the Habs' play away from the puck is exemplary and is one of the keys to their success as they hit the quarter pole at the top of the Northeast Division. Likely no Andrei Markov for the rest of the season, but the Habs are among the league leaders in goals-against.
Tampa Bay LightningGrade: B
Trending: Neutral
Summary: There is a lot to like about the Lightning, one of the most dynamic teams in the NHL under rookie coach Guy Boucher. The Lightning should get Vincent Lecavalier back before the end of the month, but they will miss Steve Downie, who is out long term with a high ankle sprain. The real issue for the Bolts, though, is getting enough quality goaltending from the inconsistent duo of Mike Smith and Dan Ellis. They have to be better if the Lightning are going to make the playoffs for the first time in four seasons.
Boston BruinsGrade: B
Trending: Up
Summary: The story of the Bruins' first quarter begins and ends with netminder Tim Thomas, who had offseason hip surgery and has returned to the form that saw him win the Vezina Trophy two seasons ago. GM Peter Chiarelli has salary-cap issues with Marc Savard returning to the lineup after battling post-concussion issues and Marco Sturm preparing to come back after a knee injury suffered in the playoffs this past spring. A deal to send Strum to Los Angeles fell through but could be revisited later in the month. The Bruins are also one of the top defensive teams in the NHL.
New York RangersGrade: B-minus
Trending: Neutral
Summary: Coach John Tortorella is getting lots of production out of young players such as Derek Stepan and Brian Boyle. Marian Gaborik, when healthy, remains one of the elite players in the NHL. But the reason the Rangers are going to stay in the playoff bracket is that they work hard pretty much every night. Goalie Henrik Lundqvist has had an up-and-down first quarter and will need to provide more consistent play as the season moves along.
Atlanta ThrashersGrade: B- minus
Trending: Up
Summary: It's taken awhile, but new coach Craig Ramsay has the Thrashers cooking. The decision to put Dustin Byfuglien back on defense has been an inspired one as he is among the top point producers among defensemen. Credit netminder Ondrej Pavelec for coming back from a scary fainting spell in the first game of the season to give the Thrashers terrific goaltending. The playoffs are a distinct possibility for this long-suffering franchise.
Buffalo SabresGrade: C-plus
Trending: Up
Summary: After a dreadful start to the season, especially at home, the Sabres look as if they might be the only team not in the playoff bracket at this point yet capable of making a run at a postseason berth. Tyler Myers, last season's Calder Trophy winner, is enduring some growing pains, but Derek Roy is turning into the Sabres' go-to guy up front.
Carolina HurricanesGrade: C-plus
Trending: Neutral
Summary: This season promised to be a bit of a struggle for the youthful Hurricanes, and it has been just that. Carolina is traditionally a better team in the second half of the season, though, so don't be surprised if coach Paul Maurice keeps his squad within hailing distance of the playoffs. Jeff Skinner is having a Calder Trophy-worthy campaign straight out of junior hockey.
Florida PanthersGrade: C
Trending: Neutral
Summary: The Panthers weren't expected to be a playoff team this season as new GM Dale Tallon begins the slow process of trying to build a winner in South Florida as he did in Chicago. It will be a major shock if they jump up in the standings in the second half, but the Panthers' team defense has been impressive and they manage to stay close most nights. Watch for Tallon to move veterans such as Tomas Vokoun and Cory Stillman as the trade deadline nears.
Ottawa SenatorsGrade: D-plus
Trending: Down
Summary: Things have gotten ugly in the Canadian capital as the Senators are a team adrift. Rumors abound that Cory Clouston is on shaky ground as coach; the widespread belief is that if Clouston is fired, GM Bryan Murray would return to the bench. Alexei Kovalev has been a major disappointment, and Sergei Gonchar hasn't had the impact the Sens expected when they signed him to a three-year deal as a free agent this past summer.
Toronto Maple LeafsGrade: D
Trending: Down
Summary: After a solid start to the season, the Leafs have been dismal, ranking near the bottom of the league in penalty killing and goals scored, two fairly important facets of the game. GM Brian Burke insists that coach Ron Wilson's job is secure, but this is a team that appears destined for a sixth straight season out of the playoffs. Perhaps even worse, the Leafs are looking at sending a second straight lottery draft pick to the Bruins courtesy of the Phil Kessel deal.
New Jersey DevilsGrade: D-minus
Trending: Down
Summary: The Ilya Kovalchuk signing is looking like one of the worst hockey signings, as the Devils staggered out of the gate and have yet to regain their footing. Kovalchuk has been a bust in this his first year of a 15-year deal signed in the offseason after the league rejected a 17-year pact. Martin Brodeur remains out of action with an injured arm, and Zach Parise is out long term with a knee injury. Ugly.
New York IslandersGrade: F
Trending: Down
Summary: GM Garth Snow fired coach Scott Gordon, but in retrospect, he might have been doing Gordon a favor given how bad this team is. Injuries to Mark Streit and Kyle Okposo haven't helped matters, but this is a poorly constructed team from the goal on out. Rick DiPietro has struggled to deliver quality starts coming back from multiple knee operations; the defense is porous; and there isn't enough skill up front. Good thing Snow found time to ban writer Chris Botta from covering the team.
Western Conference
Detroit Red WingsGrade: A-plus
Trending: Up
Summary: A second-round exit last season had some people wondering whether the NHL's model franchise was nearing a downturn after being one of the elite squads for 15 or so seasons. Um, scratch that thought. The Wings are back and apparently as great as ever, screaming out of the gates in the opening two months of the season with the best record in the Western Conference. Nicklas Lidstrom appears ageless at 40; Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg both deserve Hart Trophy consideration; and Jimmy Howard just can't lose a game. Life is grand in Hockeytown, USA.
Dallas StarsGrade: B-plus
Trending: Up
Summary: Dallas couldn't have asked for a better opening two months to the 2010-11 season. The Stars are surprising everyone, including perhaps themselves, with a 16-8-1 record through Dec. 5. Too bad the locals haven't noticed (the Stars are 25th in league attendance). GM Joe Nieuwendyk's gamble on goalie Kari Lehtonen has paid off so far, and that's been a big part of the team's success. UFA-to-be Brad Richards has been lights-out in leading the club offensively, but his future could cloud the team's feel-good season. Nieuwendyk has a difficult choice to make come the Feb. 28 trade deadline: Do you keep Richards to help the team get as far as possible in this season's playoffs and hope you can sign him before July 1, or do you try to get as many assets as possible for him before the deadline and avoid letting him walk away July 1 with no compensation? Tough call.
Vancouver CanucksGrade: B-plus
Trending: Up
Summary: It's hardly any surprise the Canucks are first in the Northwest Division two months into the season; that's what most of the pundits predicted before the season. Mind you, it hasn't all been roses so far, as the Canucks have had minor bumps. Still, the numbers suggest the team is indeed built to contend for the Stanley Cup: As of Tuesday morning, the Canucks were fifth in goals per game, sixth in goals against, second on the power play and third on the penalty kill. That's a lethal combination that translates into success.
Phoenix CoyotesGrade: B
Trending: Neutral
Summary: Last season's stunning 107-point season, a campaign that shocked the hockey world, seemed like a distant memory by the time October had come and gone and the Coyotes had won only three of their opening 10 games. But a red-hot November (8-3-2) has Phoenix right back in the hunt, with the magic of coach Dave Tippett once again having its effect. Tippett can count on four balanced lines for offense and is benefiting from the excellent netminding of Ilya Bryzgalov (UFA July 1). The blue line isn't quite the same without Zbynek Michalek, and that's an area GM Don Maloney likely will look to bolster before the trade deadline. There is also word that the sale of the team to Matthew Hulsizer might finally be complete before the end of December, which hopefully will help sell more seats to skeptical fans who have largely stayed away despite the team's strong opening two months. The Coyotes were dead last in NHL attendance as of Tuesday.
Colorado AvalancheGrade: B
Trending: Down
Summary: Giving these guys a break with a decent grade because no team has been hammered more by injuries so far this season. Last season's team MVP, Vezina nominee Craig Anderson, has twice been on the injured list, and the loss of this season's team MVP, Chris Stewart, is massive. But the Avs were keeping their heads above water at 13-10-3 as of Tuesday morning, getting contributions from unexpected sources. GM Greg Sherman gets props for making three trades in a league in which there are no trades before Christmas, adding blueliners Ryan O'Byrne and Matt Hunwick and top-six forward Tomas Fleischmann to his injury-depleted team. Can Colorado hang on to grab a lower seed in the tough West? The Avs had only one win in their past six games (0-4-2) heading into Tuesday night's game versus Florida.
St. Louis BluesGrade: B
Trending: Down
Summary: On the morning of Nov. 8, the Blues were atop ESPN.com's Power Rankings with a lofty 9-1-2 record: a terrific story and deservedly so. But massive injuries -- especially to top-line forwards David Perron and T.J. Oshie -- sent the Blues to a 4-8-2 record since then with the team struggling to score goals, as underlined by its 26th-ranked power play. Goalie Jaroslav Halak also has cooled off after an out-of-this-world opening month.
Columbus Blue JacketsGrade: B-minus
Trending: Down
Summary: Trending down because the Jackets had a five-game winless streak (0-4-1) before edging Dallas in a shootout Monday night. The sudden downturn came after a surprising first quarter, which saw the club go 14-6-0 in its opening 20 games before hitting its current skid. The Jackets were the league's most surprising team before being swept in a home-and-home series against divisional rival Detroit, a setback that began the current winless streak. A 7-2 rout at the hands of Pittsburgh this past weekend did nothing to help the sudden crisis in confidence. Going forward, the question is whether the Jackets are the team of the first 20 games or the one from the past five games that has fallen back to earth.
Nashville PredatorsGrade: B-minus
Trending: Neutral
Summary: The blue-collar Preds have battled back from a five-game losing streak and a four-game winless skid to post a respectable 12-8-5 record through their opening 25 games. The team that placed seventh in the West last season with 100 points finds itself squeezing its sticks for goals (the Preds were 26th in offense as of Tuesday morning and 28th on the power play). Money is as tight as always in Nashville, and captain and franchise player Shea Weber is a restricted free agent as of July 1 -- one year from unrestricted status. It's the most important contract negotiation in franchise history. In the meantime, the club hopes to find more consistency and a few more goals as it strives toward the halfway mark of the season.
Los Angeles KingsGrade: C-plus
Trending: Neutral
Summary: The tough grade here reflects the Kings' high expectations heading into the 2010-11 season, as the young core led by Drew Doughty, Jonathan Quick and Anze Kopitar looked to take the team to the next level after reaching the playoffs last season. An 8-3-0 record in October did nothing to dull the excitement among Kings fans, but a 5-7-0 November -- including the Kings dropping seven of eight to close out the month -- had people wondering whether perhaps the players had been guilty of reading their preseason press clippings. A big win over Detroit this past Saturday felt like a playoff victory, if for no other reason than to reassure the team that it is capable of playing like the elite squad many believe it is. The pressure is on GM Dean Lombardi to use the cap savings he earned by not signing Ilya Kovalchuk this past summer and add a big piece before the trade deadline.
Chicago BlackhawksGrade: C-plus
Trending: Neutral
Summary: The Stanley Cup hangover has been alive and well in Chicago this season. With nearly half the roster turned over thanks to the salary cap, the Hawks had a predictably tougher time early on. A 4-2-0 record on a tough road trip in late November, including wins at Vancouver and Los Angeles, gave the Hawks hope that they had begun to turn the corner. Maybe. A battle in goal, meanwhile, has developed once again with youngster Corey Crawford threatening to take over the No. 1 job from veteran Marty Turco. The core remains strong, but many questions remain with the defending champs.
Anaheim DucksGrade: C-minus
Trending: Down
Summary: A 13-13-3 record through 29 games is just about right. So now what? Well, the return of top-six forward Joffrey Lupul and the eventual return of veteran winger Teemu Selanne (he has battled groin issues recently) should give Anaheim its most impressive depth up front in more than a year and will give GM Bob Murray a clearer indication of where his team stands before he decides whether it's time to take drastic action.
San Jose SharksGrade: D-plus
Trending: Neutral
Summary: The tough grade, as with Chicago and Los Angeles above, reflects higher expectations for a San Jose team that got the playoff monkey off its back last season by reaching the conference finals. But it's been a maddeningly inconsistent season so far for the Sharks, highlighted by the fact that the team's longest winning streak has been only three games, achieved only once, and its longest skid has been a pair of three-game winless streaks. Win one, lose one -- that's been the story. The glaring need in the wake of Rob Blake's retirement is for GM Doug Wilson to acquire a top-four D-man, and that's what his priority will be closer to the trade deadline.
Minnesota WildGrade: D
Trending: Down
Summary: The clock is ticking on GM Chuck Fletcher to either make a trade or two to shake up his slumping roster or perhaps consider a coaching change. After peaking at 10-6-2 after a Nov. 19 win at Detroit, the Wild have won only once in their past eight games (1-5-2) while continuing to show almost no ability to score goals. As of Tuesday morning, the team was 24th in offense and 27th in 5-on-5 goals. The return of top-six forward Pierre-Marc Bouchard might help eventually, but at this point it appears some form of change is in the offing.
Edmonton OilersGrade: D
Trending: Up
Summary: Seems almost unfair to grade Edmonton so harshly, given that the plan all along this season was to ride the young kids on a rebuilding team and learn from the losses. Taylor Hall, the No. 1 pick in this past June's draft, has really come on lately and is showing people what the fuss was all about. The future is bright for the Oilers, particularly if they can land another lottery pick in June. This season is all about development -- and perhaps a Calder Trophy for Mr. Hall.
Calgary FlamesGrade: F
Trending: Down
Summary: This team shouldn't be this bad. Some tough decisions are looming this season for an aging team devoid of top-notch prospects in the minor league system. At some point, the Flames must decide whether it's finally time to blow this up and, if so, who should be doing the blowing up? Will GM Darryl Sutter survive the season? Or coach Brent Sutter? Or captain Jarome Iginla? Interesting times ahead in Calgary.

I really think this is a very brillant and guy with good advice and "how too" information. I really wish I could talk with him and ask some questions. He's a very wise garu. (please excuse my miss-spellings---I can't seem to figure how the darn "spell-checker" works).
One real "awesome" guy worth paying heed too.

We certainly do. Lavanya and I compiled a list of the shows top our must-see list, plus Lavanya also wrote a story about some promising self-help themed shows at Fringe. You can also find reviews on our special Fringe page starting tomorrow.

Sadly, the folks who ran Soccer in the Circle on the World Cup's opening weekend couldn't get the funds together to do a repeat.
The best non-bar public screening (that I've heard about) would be the viewing party at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African Art, with free entertainment, refreshments and games for the kids.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the Soccer Mansion, a multi-embassy-sponsored party at the Josephine Butler Parks Center. They have flat-screen TVs and a real international flair. The final is $20, which includes a free drink, and seating is limited. (See thesoccermansion.com for more info.)
Ardeo is a great choice actually. Finding quiet in that pricerange is hard, especially in Northwest and Bethesda. Its slightly pricier, with entrees from more around $30, but you might also consider 1789, which is comfortable, quiet and delicious.
The only one I am familiar with is Bengies Drive-in Theatre in Baltimore. I am a big fan and think it is well worth a drive from Nova.
Oh, and there's one more! Starlight Cinema in Centreville is only one month a year, but it starts in August. I have to admit, the movies are really family-centric, but if you have kids, it could be an option.
The only Bastille Day-related event I've heard of yet for this year's event is that of La Maison Francaise. Anything else going on this weekend? Or on the 14th?
Well, you've got the Alliance Francaise party on Friday, which combines live music, a French DJ, champagne, crepes and a display of classic Citroen cars at the Alliance's Kalorama headquarters.
On the 14th itself, there's the lively, always-packed, women-on-dancing-on-the-bar throwdown at Bistrot du Coin. L'Enfant hosts French Maid relays -- races where both male and female participants dress in French Maid outfits -- and offers food and drink specials and a DJ spinning French tunes.
Still waiting on the details of 1905's party, but that's been lots of fun in the past.
I always head to the experts at Metro Run & Walk out on route 7, and my knees thank me. They take you outside and watch you run so they can tell if you pronate or supinate and give shoe recommendations accordingly. I'm pretty sure Fleet Feet in Adams Morgan has a similar drill.
There were no outdoor TVs last weekend, so I doubt it. You should be people-watching, not TV- watching.
The only place I am familiar with out that way is Bistro Bistro, which fortunately enough is recommendable. Maybe some of our chatters have some insider Sterling knowledge.
And just in case you probably want to make sure the gift certificate has a decent lifespan. I think it was four months before my wife and I could really head out for an evening together after our son was born.
Funny! We plan our meetings and lunches around this chat too.
I'm vegetarian, and I live in the neighborhood, and I still struggled to answer this question at first. I think you should consider Pizzeria Paradiso: It's just a few blocks from Russia House, inexpensive, and I think the vibe in there is really nice for a bachelorette party -- it's not uptight. Maddy's is another option; it's a sportsbar that is nice inside, has nice servers, and it has veggie options that aren't half bad. And finally, right across the street from Russia House is Banana Leaves. They could probably fit you all in their upstairs room, but I'm not sure it screams "fun."
Bethesda's got its fair share of wings'n'beer happy hours -- Tommy Joe's has $3.50 drinks and half-priced food, for example. But that's pretty generic. Why not venture a bit farther south to Friendship Heights -- some would say that's Bethesda South -- to LIA's? If you've been to Chef Geoff's this will look familiar to you: You can get anything from $3 cans of PBR to $8 34-ounce Supermugs of pretty much any beer the restaurant serves on draft. Seriously, it's the best way to get happy, in a hurry, during happy hour. I really think the restaurant's $6 burgers are a steal too.
Glad we can help. Actually, kudos (again) to the staff at Birch and Barley, who are really skilled at pairings and all-around service.
No soccer at Dupont this Saturday, but you are in luck if you are looking for a giant outdoor screen. Fairfax is hosting a World Cup Fan Fest with festivities beginning at 1:30 p.m. and a screening of the game at 2:30. I also think the Smithsonian's National Museum of African Art's shindig sounds like a good time. They promise three giant HD screens and three plasma monitors plus free food and drinks.
Have you checked out our Best Bets lists? If you're into advanced planning, you should take a look at our featured events through September. If you're more interested for the weekend, then come back late afternoon (and every Thursday afternoon) for our list of 20 or so top picks for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
I couldn't go yesterday, but I hear there was a large Spain contingent at Summers. (I'm also guessing you'll find a few at Jaleo, where Jose Andres has taken octopus off the menu in honor of the psychic octopus who predicted Spain would beat Germany.)
I have a call into a contact at the Spanish Embassy and will post more if I get a call back.
In the meantime -- Spanish fans?
More words of wisdom for the runner.
Why don't you come hang with us at Nellie's? Or you could pack a picnic and check out tonight's Fort Reno concert.
I think I'm going to cry. All right, then Fleet Feet it is. Plus another recommendation momentarily...
If you can tolerate the heat, you could always pack a picnic and head to the National Gallery on Friday night for Jazz in the Garden (always local jazz artists, total D.C. scene, plus, you're surrounded by world-class sculpture). I think that Salvadoran food and Ethiopian are now officially staples of D.C. cuisine (whatever that is), so how about Ethiopic before Little Miss Whiskey's? And for drinking, there's no part of town more interesting right now than the culture in Columbia Heights. I really like Room 11 for a lot of reasons: It attracts a mixed crowd, it's so warm and inviting, and the food is locally sourced as often as possible. Sit at the bar, eat cheese, try a cocktail. Or sit outside and people-watch. It's totally D.C., but not at all that stuffy, uptight vision that so many out-of-towners have.
Thanks for all the tips, chatters.
I'm pretty high on Tunisian eatery Chez Manelle. If you are looking for something casual and family friendly there is American Flatbread. And down the street a bit is Ray's Hell Burger Too, which isn't so much new food as it is a different way to do the Ray's Hell Burger experience -- with table service.
You're thinking of the Maison Francaise party at the Embassy on Saturday. The Alliance party is still $49, but that's including food and drinks.
Like I said earlier, the party at L'Enfant is a blast, costs $5, and includes food and drink specials. Bistrot du Coin is no cover -- you just have to brave the lines.
Good for you for not relying on the Blackberry! I think this is totally cool to do -- frankly, anything that's not being [blantantly] rude to the bartender or your fellow bargoers is fine by me. Readers: What do you think? Is reading a book (while flying solo) in a bar wrong?
Yeah, that beer list is amazing. I took a group of friends on Monday -- braving the temperatures -- and everyone who hadn't been came away impressed.
My full review of the place, including a short video narrated by yours truly, will be going up later today. (GOG email subscribers get the first crack.)
I feel you, especially in these temperatures. (Nice to see that even Eighteenth Street Lounge buckled and allowed men in shorts to come in over the July 4 weekend.)
But there are literally dozens and dozens of options out there for bars without dress codes and too much pretense -- everything from the divey Red Derby to the loungey beats of the Science Club to Saturday hip-hop and funk parties at Liv. If you can narrow down the neighborhoods or music or specs, I'd be glad to help.
I completely sympathize with this. There aren't many restaurants with dress codes left in the city, and even those that have couture recommendations are easing their restrictions. Tom wrote about this recently, and the three places he highlighted were 1789, Corduroy and the Prime Rib.
This is something I've used Ceiba for in the past -- the bar isn't really a destination on weekends, and there are also happy hour drinks from 10 to close. There's room to mingle at the bar, or you could grab seats in the lounge.
Screen on the Green starts Monday. How about you, thoughtful, sweet SO that you are, pack an amazing picnic loaded with little dishes you made (or picked up from Whole Foods; I don't judge), some chocolates from ACKC or someplace special, and then a few more sweet things. Don't forget to bring a nice, soft blanket. Then hit the lawn by the Capitol around 6:30 or so. It's such nice night out, and if she's cool, she'll realize how much more special it was than dinner out -- again.
I believe Vinoteca has a similar deal at the bar.
Another bottomless beverage brunch possibility.
As long as its not octopus small plates. Rumor is that Jose pulled the cephalopod from his menu as a way of thanking the eight -armed-oracle that predicted Spanish victory over the Germans.
Co Co Sala is nearby, and has a good brunch if you like sweets.
First, I'm going to suggest that you forget about Dupont and come to OUR happy hour on U Street. (We're taking over the tented roofdeck at Nellie's and offering free food, $2 drinks and ticket giveaways until 8.)
For good Dupont happy hours with people-watching -- not always the easiest pairing -- there's the Big Hunt, the $3-drinks-all-night fun at Lucky Bar... Gazuza can be fun for sushi and cocktails, especially with the second-story patio. Eighteenth Street Lounge is more fun (and relaxed) early in the night. Maybe Public Bar? Kramerbooks can be fun if you get the right crowd.
And I should mention Bar Dupont, where you just grab drinks and grab prime window seats overlooking the Circle. Perfect for watching the city go by.
If you can drive out a little farther, Charlottesville and the area a little farther from here is loaded with great ones (such as Linden) that will probably fit your description. If you want to stay closer to home, I think Tarara kind of gives you the whole experience, especially at one of their festivals, or on their weekend premier tastings. Again, they've been doing it a while. Do check out this list I made too, with more favorites, longer descriptions of each.
Honestly, I love Etete and prefer Madjet to Dukem (and am dying to try Ethiopic), but I second the recommendation for Ethiopian. It's something you certainly don't find everywhere.
It wouldn't be the Fringe Festival if it wasn't at least a little bit "out there." That's the point. Isn't that fun in its own way?
Never fear, though: check out Stephanie's rundown of July theater events for a look ahead at some big upcoming non-Fringe performances.
I second this. Take a chance on some of these; Stephanie and I chose the shows for a lot of reasons, but not one them was chosen based on the fact that it seemed "weird." Trust us, these will be quality shows, and they'll all be a lot of fun.
I went to a big rehearsal dinner last year at Old Glory and it was low-key and a lot of fun, plus there were fried pickles. Does it get any better? Also, a couple years back, Julia wrote a story about rehearsal dinners and she recommended Lucky Strike, which can hold a private party up to 180 people. Sort of an offbeat idea, but could be fun...
The Capitol Skyline is probably the best bet, since the Donovan House doesn't sell day memberships. You can try the Saturday party, with DJs, drinks, etc, which runs from noon until 10. It's free for the first two hours, and then $20. On Sunday, Top Chef Spike hosts his weekly Spike'd Sundays, which is a little more laidback. But it's a giant pool, plenty of room for lounging.
Sister is in town this weekend and I'm looking for some non-typical touristy things to do. NO MUSEUMS. Any ideas?
Seems like a perfect time to go back to these expertly compiled tips.
My favorite non-touristy things are Sunday evenings in Meridian Hill Park, Eastern Market and the Arboretum.
Well Nellie's is a sports bar, so you can get baseball on TV if you really get desperate.
Ouch. Thanks for the feedback.
Another option for Sunday: As noted in the Nightlife Agenda column, the Beacon Hotel's weekly Sunday DJ party is hosting World Cup viewing, with free food and drinks (for the early arrivals), then a party afterwards featuring the excellent local DJ duo Beautiful Swimmers and Brooklyn's Runaway spinning disco-flavored summer jams. And it's free to get in ....
Hey, I promise you, not one of us is a Gucci-wearing, size-zero supermodel (though Fritz comes close). And we've all bucked up, put on our Target bathing suits and hit one of these parties at one point. You could actually try a public pool, where I like to go to hang out with the regular folk. Francis Pool near Foggy Bottom is big enough for the crowds this weekend, clean, and totally not pretentious. And honestly, Spike'd Sundays at the Skyline are pretty normal too. Interns, summer visitors, and all the people desperate for relief from the heat really should throw off the supermodel quotient.
I read books in bars all the time. I really don't care if other people mind, though it can be hard if the bartender is trying to make smalltalk.
The way I see it, I'm paying rent on the barstool when I have a drink in my hand.
Absolutely. Though I wouldn't overlook Corduroy, it may be a nice date or special occasion location, but I find it more elegant than stuffy.
And another one.
In Columbia Heights, I dig the low-key happy hours at Social and CommonWealth, both of which start at 4. (Commonwealth has half-price drafts.)
I love this idea, but neither Fritz nor I can think of a local brewery that would be big enough for a group that large. But maybe the chatters have some idea...?
This story from last year really the hit the spot, right when we all needed it. Three itineraries, courtesy writer Michael O'Sullivan.
I think Bethesda's cocktail scene is dire, honestly. I don't see as much imagination there as in D.C. or northern Virginia.
You might try Black's, but otherwise I'm drawing a blank.
Okay, Spanish fans. You have one suggestion...
I totally second the nomination for Acadiana.
So I did a story that involved a group in Virginia called Singles in the Suburbs -- it's a Meetup, not a "singles" group. And the idea is to just have friends to do amazing stuff with. Like, six times a week now, I get e-mails about the roller skating, wine-tastings, tubing trips, beach trips, karaoke and best-bartender contests that they're organizing. (I met them, spent hours hanging out with them, and they're all really cool and really friendly.) How about joining?
Rhome? Is that you?
The only thing near the stadium that I'd recommed would be Justin's Cafe. I made my first visit there after a recent Nats game and I recall seeing some youngins in the house. The menu leans heavily toward wood-fired pizza, so nothing that'll be too tough of a sell to a young eater. Worth noting that it's not a big place and tables aren't plentiful, so you might want to consider leaving the game an inning early. The alternative would be to walk about 25 minutes north to the restaurants Capitol Hill or east toward Barracks Row, but I'm not sure how appealing those options are with a toddler in tow.
Well, considering Air Miami had a different lineup than Unrest ... but hey, it's Mark Robinson. You never know. (Just don't ask Phil to sign an Air Miami record.)
