SOTU: Street Closures, Bar Guide and Drinking Games
January 24th, 2012 · 1 Comment · Capitol Hill
While the rest of the country simply tunes in for the State of the Union from their homes, we get to navigate street closures and crowds of Hill staffers all while listening to helicopters circle overhead. It’s part of the fun of living in the neighborhood that sits in the shadow of the Capitol. So [...]
To Do List – New Year’s Eve Edition
December 29th, 2011 · No Comments · Barracks Row, Eastern Market, H Street
Newsflash! New Year’s Eve is this weekend. That, coupled with what is arguably one of the slowest weeks in Washington (second only to the August mass exodus, perhaps?) makes this week’s To Do list all about the last night of the year. So, do you love it? Hate it? Is it just another (Saturday) night? [...]

In the Reariew – 2011 in Dining on the Hill
December 28th, 2011 · No Comments · Barracks Row, Capitol Hill, Capitol Riverfront/ Near Southeast, DC, Eastern Market, H Street, New Hill East

We here at The Hill Is Home attempted to bring you timely coverage of our neighborhood politics, cultural events, developing stories and (probably more than anything else) [...]

Thanksgiving Dinner (and Drink) Options on the Hill
November 22nd, 2011 · 2 Comments · Capitol Hill
Call me crazy, but the thought of traveling hundreds or thousands of miles for dinner is just plain, well, crazy! I can barely stand the wait at Matchbox on a Thursday night, let alone fight the traffic on I-95 for some (over-cooked) turkey and (lumpy) mashed potatoes! “Surely you want to spend time with the family that you love,” [...]

The speed at which the summer passes always astounds me. It’s as if there’s a ‘tick tock, tick tock’ echoing along with the crickets at night. That’s precisely why this post is going up now — there’s still time to prioritize ARTventures on H on your summer schedule. Plan accordingly and on June 30 from [...]

To Do List
June 16th, 2011 · No Comments · H Street
We have had such a pleasant weather week! I have been basking in the glory of open windows with cool air as I sleep, instead of the humming of the air conditioner and stale air. But alas, all good things must come to an end, as the 90 degree weather is about to return with [...]
