WHEREIN: We bring you the developments (happening in and around D.C.) that we think are newsworthy, or, at the very least, almost newsworthy…
- Baltimore’s mayor had her home raided by the FBI this morning. I didn’t have to google this, my mom live texted me the news at 8 a.m. I wonder where I get my verve for local news?
- Sweetgreen wants your lettuce.
- The International Spy Museum is moving to L’Enfant Plaza, colloquially known as the worst place in D.C., a black hole of fun and beauty.
- This is the best photo you will see all week. I want to hang it in my home.
- In more bird news, you can rent chickens now. Get them for your next birthday party or corporate event!
- And in more animals news, this Virginia farm will let you snuggle its baby goats for the low price of $10.
- Metro is offering free parking at some stations while the Blue and Yellow Lines during the construction madness that’s coming this summer.
- K Street is getting a redesign that will hopefully make driving it / biking it / taking public transportation on it a little less of a shit show.
- Folger Shakespeare Library is on the hunt for Shakey’s DNA.
- Medium Rare treats its steak sauce like the Krabby Patty formula.
- Eat so many plantains you become a plantain at Tortuga, Capitol Hill’s newest bar.
- In more food news, Girl & The Vine is serving up sandwiches and wine in Takoma Park. The restaurant / cafe sounds like an indie band that would have been featured on the 500 Days of Summer soundtrack.
- And a NOVA oyster bar is expanding to NoMa. Slurp slurp.
- This is a fun reminder that most food festivals are bad and you certainly shouldn’t spend $155 on tickets to one.
