Imagine you’re Neko Case. Life is pretty swell. You’ve just put out your fifth studio album as a solo artist and it’s getting great reviews. Noah from district, schmistrict is a huge fan! Your tour behind the album is going equally rosy, and you’ve sold out two nights in a row at the 9:30 Club.

Yeah yeah, I know what you’re going to say. Cupcakes are totally yesterday’s news. It’s not in any way cutting edge to talk about all the new cupcake places opening in DC.
But dudes, you would be wise to pay attention to this little piece of cupcake info. I recently learned from our friends at Intelligent Travel [...]

CityPaper readers predictably picked 2Amys for top prize, followed by Pete’s Apizza and Pizzeria Paradiso. Quality options, but in [...]
