In just over a year, Takoma nonprofit community arts space Rhizome has established itself as D.C.’s Best New Venue (according to this publication) thanks to its commitment to DIY ethos and a curatorial vision that celebrates experimental music in all of its forms. That approach is on display at a show headlined by Baltimore-born, Los Angeles-based duo Odwalla1221 and Iran-born New York City-based producer Sadaf. This tour forges the frontier of experimental music, and thanks to Rhizome, D.C. gets to experience it in an intimate, comfortable space.

District Doughnut’s newest offerings celebrate fall. The Barracks Row and Georgetown shops are now serving a pumpkin brulee doughnut made with pumpkin dough, pumpkin pie filling, and a caramelized sugar top. There’s also something that should remind you of Halloween candy—a chocolate peanut butter doughnut with a milk chocolate glaze, peanut butter pastry cream, peanut butter feuilletine, and a drizzle of chocolate ganache. The doughnuts cost $3.50 each. District Doughnut, 749 8th St. SE, (202) 750-1955, districtdoughnut.com. (Laura Hayes)
