inexpensive: Have Bike, Will Travel - 05/02/08 02:31 PM
Spring is just about the most beautiful time in D.C. The sun is shining, the cherry blossoms are in bloom, summer humidity hasn't kicked in yet, and it's light out past 5:00 pm. One of the best ways to see DC in the spring (or any time of the year) is by bike. You don't have to fight traffic or the sometimes unreliable Metro service and you can get some exercise while seeing the sights. However most people don't own a bike simply because they wouldn't use it often enough. The Smart Bike program may change that and bring bikes to … (3 comments)

inexpensive: Strange Name, Good Sandwiches - 04/04/08 04:26 PM
Booeymonger on 3265 Prospect St. NW in Washington may have a silly restaurant name and just as silly sandwich names but they're serious about food. The price is cheap, but the sandwiches are tasty and won't leave your stomach grumbling an hour after eating.
At Booeymonger, special orders are the specialty. Don't want alfalfa sprouts on the Scheherazade? No problem. Hold the avocado on the Pita Pan? Absolutely! Or you can just customize your own sandwich, from scratch, and pair it with one of the 10 side dishes. With so many delicious, reasonably priced creations, it's hard to go wrong.
