The fifth annual FotoWeek DC began last week, and Reporters Without Borders is hosting one of its weightiest shows. “101 Images for Press Freedom” captures the history of photojournalism, beginning with the Spanish Civil War and culminating with the 2010 Haitian earthquake. In conjunction with the exhibit, tonight the Corcoran Gallery of Art hosts “Transforming Society Through Photos: The Role of Free and Independent Photojournalism.” The exhibition is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Nov. 10–Nov. 18 at the Warner Building, 1299 Pennsylvania Ave. NW. $5. fotoweekdc.org. The discussion at Corcoran begins at 7 p.m. at 500 17th St. NW. $12 for nonmembers. Read more>>> (Cristina Kladis)
EAT THIS
DGS Delicatessen in Dupont (officially opening tonight) isn’t the only new place in town serving a beef tongue sandwich. So is Woodward Takeout Food (WTF), the more casual sister restaurant to chef Jeff Buben’s just-opened Woodward Table. His $10.50 version of the sandwich comes with grilled red onions, chopped egg, lettuce, tarragon dressing, and toasted ciabatta. The lunch spot also has a bunch of other tasty-sounding sandwiches like a duck reuben and the “Porky Pork” with pate, bacon, ham, and bacon marmalade on toasted brioche. Also look out for soups, salads, flatbreads, and even a root-beer float. WTF, 1426 H St. NW. (202) 347-5355. woodwardtable.com. (Jessica Sidman)
