P.O.V. Terrace & Lounge

The giddy ‘W' takeover makes the Washington monument look like a Vegas imitation. P.O.V. means "Point-of-View" in shamelessly elite dialect, although OTT is the more apt acronym. Impossible ... read more

Bar Dupont

DC bids farewell to Biddy Mulligan's feisty Irish pub and coldly welcomes the too-late trendiness of floor-to-ceiling makeover: freckly, buck-toothed, redheaded best friend comes back from college ... read more
