Granville Moore’s is celebrating 9 years on H Street this week.
August typically means ghost town here in DC. Those of use left resent the hell out of everyone who is not here and the FOMO is making us hate our lives and question our choices. That being said, I’ll be in Charleston next week. Feel free to check out my pics!
Tonight at the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop (CHAW), is the world premiere of a new musical Alice Adams. The show is based on Booth Tarkington’s Pulitzer prize-winning 1921 novel of the same name. Writer and composer Robert Convery has adapted the work and created a show with 21 songs sung by 15 characters. Tonight’s performance begins at 7:30 and tickets are $20. The show moves over to the Atlas Performing Arts Center Saturday. Learn more here.
Check out Everlane’s pop up shop at Maketto from 6pm to 9pm and maybe grab a nifty new backpack.

Sunday try a free yoga class at Union Market. Yoga with Nya is a weekly event featuring different teachers each week. This week will feature a power flow so maybe bring a towel. The class is free and begins at noon.
