Baby Wale swims into D.C. with simple, striking menu

Don’t try to order a baby whale at Baby Wale. Instead, I recommend sampling the Mozzarella Porcupine. An unpredictably satisfying cheese dish, it’s topped with Kataifi (shredded Fillo Dough) and complemented by a tomato colis and basil oil dipping sauce, which satisfies both the cosmopolitan palate and the adventurous spirit found in so many Georgetown students. In fact, the Mozzarella Porcupine perfectly encompasses the eclectic atmosphere of one D.C.’s newest restaurants.

Ritchie’s watercolor time machines

Depicting just one place in space—yet over many moments in time—Charles Ritchie slows us down just enough to notice those ordinary yet beautiful “subjects that we pass by every day.” As the artist spoke and displayed his work on a projector before his exhibition officially opened yesterday at Georgetown’s Spagnuolo gallery, one got the sense that his works were large and overwhelming—until, of course, viewed in the gallery.

Jazz across Key Bridge

If you’re looking for a way to avoid Lau on the first true weekend back, you’ll find one just across the river. The Rosslyn Jazz Festival is this Saturday from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Gateway Park. It’s free and open to the public—a modern-day highway robbery, considering the incredible line-ups the festival is known for assembling.

Overzealous 17-year-olds start planning for presidency

Given the number of times the American flag appears in Jonathan Goodman Levitt’s most recent documentary, Follow the Leader, the imagery sparks a reflection on what patriotism actually means. In almost every other scene, red, white, and blue decorate the background, whether the camera’s showing us a camp ceremony, the wall of a college dorm, or the lapels of politicians’ suits. As Levitt himself said, “That might make us think twice about [the flags], or make us question them.”

Under the Covers: Capitol kiss and tell

As the industrial skyline of my beloved hometown, Milwaukee, Wisc., faded from view, I felt ready. The three-hour flight to Reagan passed quickly. I pretended to read until I could see the first twists of the Potomac out the window. Then came the gothic spires of Georgetown, the townhouses, the government buildings, and as the plane tilted—there it was, the Washington Monument, its polished surface proudly proclaiming a successful democracy with liberty and justice for all.

Idiot Box: Top of the Lake plunges deep

The first few minutes of Oscar-winning director Jane Campion’s haunting BBC miniseries, Top of the Lake, find a young girl slowly wading into the freezing water, the silhouette of New Zealand mountains emerging through the surrounding mist. Her glassy expression is unreadable and the scene stunningly seductive, but when a frazzled adult arrives and yells that the water could kill her, we begin to understand that there’s a sinister force behind the tranquil landscape. As the story unfolds, its characters disturb the surface in more ways than one, peeling back the outward layers of both their small, sleepy town and their own pasts to discover more corruption than they might have imagined.
