Did you make it to the 12th Annual Dog Days Sidewalk Sale last Saturday and Sunday? If not, we have photos from this annual good-time and bargain-shopping opportunity. Check out our photos — maybe we saw you there.
Dog Days is sponsored by the MidCity Business Association and takes place each year on the first weekend in August on the 14th and U corridor.
Here are some suggestions of things to do during the weekend in Borderstan, really close by or in the city.

Florida Avenue Grill is perfect for a weekend breakfast with wonderful home-style food at a very good price. At the corner of 11th Street and Florida Avenue NW, it has been a fixture in the area for years.
Lauriol Plaza at 1835 18th Street NW is probably one of the best places in town to enjoy Latin American food. Get there early for brunch, lunch or dinner; good prices for the food and service, but it is usually crowded.

Bohemian Caverns: “Tribute to Nina Simon.” (Photo: Luis Gomez.)
“FuckingA” is playing at the Studio Theatre, 1501 14th Street NW. “A bloody, modern riff on The Scarlet Letter, as only Suzan-Lori Parks could do it–with wicked poetry, biting comic songs and unforgettable style. In ‘Fucking A,’ Parks takes a wild, theatrical carnival ride through a post-apocalyptic future, where an outcast abortionist will do anything to reclaim her lost son.”
See “Tribute To Nina Simone” on Friday, July 3t, at the Bohemian Caverns at 2001 11 Street NW. “Blessed with a beautiful voice and a marvelous craft, Akua Kyerematin’s musical roots run deeply through the blues, jazz and R&B, her style, thus, is a fluid and constantly evolving neo-soul conglomeration that stresses jazz and the blues. Look closely at Akua Kyerematin today, for you will surely be hearing huge things about her tomorrow.”
“Good People, Bad Behavior” at G Fine Art, 1515 14th Street NW. (Image: G Fine Art Gallery Web site.)
