D.C.'s 100 Best Restaurants, Bus Lane Fines and City Harassment Probe
We’re talking about Washingtonian’s annual ranking of best restaurants with the magazine’s lead critic, our pal Ann Limpert. Plus, we’re also going to talk again about lane enforcement — but, get this, we’re talking bus lanes, not bike lanes. And there’s an update on the sexual harassment investigation in the mayor’s office.
And big news! In one week, we're hosting our first one of 2024! It’s on Saturday, Feb. 3 at The Square Food Hall. Come meet the team and enjoy free hot chocolate and churros at noon and the taping, featuring Jade Womack of Clockout DC, begins at 1 pm. RSVP here.
