"30-Minute Meals with Woodrow Wilson"


My workplace cafeteria made it into the DCist.

"The corner of 13th Street and Pennsylvania Ave NW may contain the best lunch value downtown. No, we’re not talking about the the all-too-familiar basement level food court or street vendor. Instead, look up and join the world thought leaders at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars."

"Chunks of fish and clams in a balanced, creamy base make one day's seafood chowder a great value, but let loose a starving intern with a bowl of beef chili onto a full fixins bar, and you'll soon see the value that can be packed into a few square inches."

The clam chowder is good.

RE: FW: FW: ROOFTOP POOL

In a city built on networking, there is one relationship in your 20s and 30s that is particularly important to cultivate, one contact that can help create the definitive summer experience of snatches of sun and weekends of nothingness that nevertheless feel smugly accomplished.

You need a friend who has a rooftop pool.

"Remember, Chrissie used to have one?" says Frederick Oldfield, drinking a beer at a sports bar in the District. "She'd be downstairs cleaning or something and I'd be up there laying out?"

His friend Craig Collins nods. Sigh.
