Four Places in 31 Minutes

Spring 2016
The walk from the classroom building on Massachusetts Ave to the Debonair on 24th street is approximately 31 minutes long, and although that can seem quite dreadful after a long day at your internship followed by a roughly three hour class, you’d be surprised how many hidden gems you can find along the way.
1. Bethesda Bagels
Located about about 10 minutes away from the classroom building, Bethesda Bagels is the perfect place for breakfast right before class (disclaimer: BUDC does at times provide free lunch during the internship course, but you need to splurge on this at least once while you’re here). At Bethesda Bagels, you can order pretty much whatever your heart desires. From 23 different types of homemade bagels with over 18 spread options, Bethesda Bagels is the best place for breakfast or lunch. More

Brunching Through DC

Fall 2015
As a dedicated foodie, I am a brunch fanatic. In fact, I regularly use brunch in verb form. Brunching in The District is much different than brunching in Boston. For one, many restaurants in DC serve all-you-can-drink, bottomless Mimosas and/or Bloody Mary’s. In Boston, a city that frowns upon public debauchery, no such brunch option is offered, as bottomless brunch is illegal in the state of Massachusetts. Luckily, in DC, a haven for young professionals, brunch can be found in a variety of different neighborhoods each with distinct flavors.
After following this short list of brunch Do’s and Don’ts check out my recommendations of DC brunch spots. More

- Tono Sushi, Woodley Park
If you’re anything like me, changing from an omnivorous to a vegetarian diet was made particularly difficult by that simple preparation of raw fish and rice called sushi. And while I have grown to love sweet potato rolls and vegetable tempura, every now and then I crave something a little more fun on my plate - a craving perfectly satisfied by Tono Sushi’s spicy crunchy tofu roll. If the name doesn’t give it away, this maki roll is a blend of spicy mayo, protein-packed tofu, and tempura flakes. More

Reporting is hard. Reporting is even harder in big cities like DC and Boston where no one wants to talk to nosy reporters and even less to reporters who still use a .edu email address. And it’s a hundred times worse moving to a NEW big city. Here are some ways to help finding and getting stories in the DC area. More

Washington, DC is often viewed as a one-dimensional city, strictly concerned with politics. While reminders of the city’s political culture are ubiquitous, the nation’s capital still offers plenty more. For instance, if you’re anything like me, you love going to the movies, and the DC area has a variety of theaters to satisfy all kinds of movie-goers. Here are a few recommendations:

How to Make the Most of the Semester
Carolyn Downs
Fall 2015
My semester in Washington, DC has taught me more than I could have imagined. Some of which I would like to share. My advice may be generic, but I believe that it cannot be stressed enough.
First, be an awesome intern. This means talking to people and doing work for others in the office. It means dressing professionally and knowing your place in the office. It means working late if necessary; I even worked on occasional Fridays. More
