Photos: First Annual DC Food Bloggers Costume Contest, with Tasty Prizes!

One of reasons why we love U Street corridor. We stopped by the 14th Street Farmers' Market to find a costume contest, for both kids and adults, organized by a collection of DC food bloggers (see the invite: Adventures in Shaw). Among the prizes: Biago Chocolate and Saint Ex gift certificates. Fun!

Photos: Have You Seen the New Doggie Park on New Hampshire and S Streets NW?

Aw! Look at these cute things having a blast at New Hampshire and S Street's new park. Construction finished last week. I took photos but the park was, well, empty. Here are some fun snapshots I took with my iPhone:

Hours of operation

The park also includes an area for humans, and a drinking fountain.

DCist has sweet photos of the park, if you like seeing Mayor Fenty.
