To Do: Takoma Park Street Festival
By
Marissa Conrad
If you haven’t been to Carroll Avenue—home to a slew of charming craft stores and vintage boutiques—then make your way there on Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM to shop, eat and, well, shop at the 26th Annual Takoma Park Street Festival. About 130 potters, woodworkers, fabric artists and painters will set up tents of their work (rule: you can only sell it if it’s handmade), joined by shopkeepers from Takoma favorites like Amano boutique and the Big Bad Woof, an eco-friendly pet store. Check out each end of the festival (it runs from Willow to Columbia avenues on Carroll) for live rock, jazz and blues from local bands and festival-perfect food, including fresh-squeezed lemonade, crab cakes and fried plantains. I can almost smell the funnel cake from here.

Come summer, Washington is all about cafe society, and every restaurant with a sliver of sidewalk unfurls the umbrellas and hauls out the outdoor tables and chairs. We check out the new spots to dine al fresco in warm weather.

Would you like your patty marinated in "diablo" sauce, topped with funky Epoisses cheese, or smothered in sherried mushrooms? Michael Landrum's new Arlington fast food spot, just down the way from his Ray's the Steaks, definitely isn't your average burger joint.
