When looking at events around the DC area for our news around town posts we always try to recommend places we’re looking forward to checking ourselves. This time it’s all about the shows we’ll be watching and going to see. Over the next couple of weeks we’re going to spend some time not only checking out some new restaurants but also a couple shows coming to the area.
