This week at Overheard, we'd like to take a moment to give thanks for a segment of the population that we feel is unfairly maligned. That's right, we're talking about you, Mr. Stares Blatantly at Women's Breasts on the Metro. And you, sir, who just nearly walked into a pole while leering at the woman who just walked past. We raise our glasses to the guy surreptitiously taking pictures of girls' rear ends on the......

H & F Fine Arts is a relatively new art gallery, only having opened this past April, and thus far featuring a few community group shows. With Chimera, the exhibit that opened last weekend, H & F embarks into more streamlined showcasings of particular artists. If you saw the small preview of A. B. Miner’s work at Flashpoint last fall, you'll know the short trek to the Mount Rainer located gallery for the full effect......

Spring is when we get busy here in the Ist-A-Verse. Very busy. But, after staying bundled-up indoors all winter, it's nice for us to be out, about, and collecting things to write about for you. Here's a glimpse at what's been keeping your favorite citybloggers busily away from home and out of bed. For LAist, strong winds attacked LA on the same day the Feds raided the Crips. Not to fear, though: the Japanese version......

By Amanda and Ben Page We were on a budget last time, but that got tiresome quickly. Besides, how could we resist the allure of Restaurant Week? So, we gathered up some friends and checked out crowd-favorite Mie N Yu in Georgetown. Of course, the great thing about dining out with multiple people is that we're able to try a number of items off the menu. Hands down, our favorite protein item was the Miso......

The Washington Redskins kick off their regular season tonight against the Minnesota Vikings at FedEx Field. Last week, the Richmond Times-Dispatch took a look at what the Redskins organization — including players, coaches, and staff members — wolfed down during the squad's three-week training camp in August: That group of 140 or so people, 88 of whom are players, chewed through 1,200 pounds of sliced deli meats, 1,500 pounds of chicken breasts, 1,200 pounds of......

It happens to all of us. Arriving at the store with our shopping list in hand, our heads are filled with visions of the lavish meal we are about to create. Quickly these dreams come to a screeching halt as we discover our grocer is out of top sirloin, or sea cucumber, or whatever other ingredient is essential to our feast. After experiencing a wonderful soft-shell crab prepared at Harry’s Johnny's in Dupont, we headed......

It is time once again to take a look at the strange, funny, and baffling things you’ve heard around town. As always, this feature depends on your keen hearing, so keep on sending your stuff to overheardindc (at) gmail (dot) com. In this edition, incest is never not funny, Mike Tyson strikes again, chickens beware, and Pamela Anderson’s breasts. Quote of the week Metro, near Eastern Market: Two teenage boys sitting next to each other......

Proving to women everywhere that you can turn an, uh, adversarial situation into lots of bling, New York magazine reports that Jessica Cutler, shining star of Capitol Hill, has had the rights to her book, "The Washingtonienne," optioned by HBO. And not only has HBO optioned it, but Sarah Jessica Parker, who graced the channel for six years of "Sex and the City," will co-produce. An insider source says that back in May, Showtime and......

Ah, Mardi Gras. The annual bacchanal of food, drink, more drink, bared breasts and parades. Can't make the trip to New Orleans this year? Next Tuesday, Feb. 8, a couple of local events will try to recreate some of the spirit of the season here in our own backyard. The annual Clarendon Mardi Gras parade will kick off at 8:00 p.m. at the corner of Wilson Boulevard and North Danville Street (by the Whole Foods),......

(From DCist contributor Angela Gaw) Now that we’re smack dab in the middle of the holiday season, people always seem to fill their time with more errands, more work, more last-minute shopping, and, in other words, more ways to avoid what this season’s really about: kicking back and chowing down. In the true spirit of the holidays, we have a suggestion for a little treat you can find at many area malls that can give......
