Shame on DC Taxi Drivers

This morning, a large percentage DC independent taxi drivers started a 24-hour strike, on one of the busiest nights for bar hoping - Halloween.  
The issue – the new fare system that will replace the current confusing zone pricing system and change to a much needed time and distance pricing system. The new system which uses a taxi […]

So Many Turkeys, So Little Time.

You may have heard about the infamous Cajun Thanksgiving bird, the “Turducken“. It’s not an urban legend…It’s a deboned chicken stuffed into a boneless duck that’s stuffed into a turkey and then roasted.  There’s a company in Louisiana what pre-makes and ships them anywhere in the U.S.

The Best in Latin-Gypsy-Rumba Jazz

Two truly brilliant guitarists, Michael Bard and Richard Marlow join forces to put on […]
