Inauguration 2013: A Few Photos
A few of our readers caught the inauguration events with their cameras and we’re sharing some of those images below after the break. Affairs ran smoothly and there was no Purple Tunnel of Doom so the running of the event got high marks in our book. We also really liked the Washington Post’s 1 billion pixel high resolution image of the inauguration. If you were in the crowd, you might be able to pick yourself out!
Where To Eat On Inauguration Day (Especially Early In The Morning)
Inauguration Day, January 21, is fast approaching and past the break below find a list of restaurants (or fast eats) that will be open that day in downtown or Penn Quarter. If you plan to be out early to gain access to the secure area, don’t underestimate how dehydrated and/or hungry you can get standing around outside. The gates to the secure zone open at 6:30 am.
We’re starting with the Downtown BID’s compilation of restaurants open on Inauguration Day, checking in with the Penn Quarter Neighborhood Association (PQNA), calling a few extra restaurants, and then sorting them by opening times so you know which ones you can migrate to for warmth, food, and drink especially early in the morning.
Dewey Want To Bid On Some Art?
Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP is going through bankruptcy and part of their art collection will be up for auction on February 1st by Weschler’s. The art collection (valued at over $2 million) no doubt contains some amazing works, but it is the foreign versions of classic movie posters that have captivated us as we walk down the 900 block of E Street NW.
We don’t live in a loft so there are no cathedral ceilings in the Columbo household, but for those of you who do have the space these giant movie posters are the epitome of cool (we’re still smarting over not winning the Sinatra painting in 2011). How can you not bid on this masterpiece?
