Help Haiti, But Watch Jersey Shore Too
Thursday, January 21: As the Nation welcomes naked Scott Brown to his seat as President of the Teabaggers, we say goodbye to the fine folks from theJersey Shore. Tabaq Bistro will recreate the debauchery of these less-than-human characters by showing the finale tomorrow on big screen teevees and providing plenty of drink specials, so everyone will be in fine form to beat each other up on the dance floor... [ Tabaq Bistro DC ]
New Food: On the street-food front, there's a new crepe truck making its way around Rosslyn. And in the "South Asian food with a side of pizza" front, we welcome the Sacrificial Lamb Kabobs 'n' Pizza to the Dupont area. [Choupi Crepes, Sacrificial Lamb ]
