I plan ahead--I stocked up on liquor Friday afternoon and hit Whole Foods on wednesday before everyone went snow crazy. In case you didn't--or if you want to engage in the bad behavior that accompanies snow in places that don't usually get it (drunken snowball fight? Yes!)--We Love DC has a list of open bars and restaurants.
As a disclaimer, I'm not sure how many of these are still open. I think this is even worse than folks planned, because Dino emailed this morning that they had to cancel their plans to stay open.
While we're on the subject, Dino, whom I rave about constantly on this blog, they mentioned how difficult this weather has been on their December/January revenue. Dino supports local, they support sustainable, and they're a genuinely family run restaurant with amazing food, a stunning wine collection and really a great value for what they offer. Stop by. They've also got great tables if you're planning a group dinner.

We Clearly Can't Handle Snow
DC got another 2-4 inches last night, which is just salt in the wound that's still open from the epic pre-Christmas storm. I realize this is nothing to you mid-west and Boston kids, but this just doesn't happen to us, especially with another potentially big snow storm heading our way this weekend.
I get it Obama, you're from Chicago and you're not going to shut down the federal government (which all of the local businesses generally follow) for a couple measly inches (and the one damn thing metro manages to do really well is keep running in the snow, grrrrr), but we occasional snow kids get a little giddy when the white stuff just keeps coming (yes, still discussing precipitation.)
First there was the idiot cop who pulled his gun on the good folks participating in an organized snowball fight here in D.C. Then this morning, I read about the lovely lady up in Pennsylvania who is being charged for throwing a snowball at a city bus driver for not letting her board with an expired bus pass.
City officials and citizens alike, we just can't handle the snow. It makes us crazy. Just let us stay home.
