MUSIC
OK, so maybe a talk about food policy isn’t your bag. Fortunately, cool kids, you have options. Like Free Energy at DC9, Eleanor Friedberger at Black Cat, Unknown Pleasures DJ night at Little Miss Whiskey’s, James Iha (with Fountains of Wayne) at 9:30 Club, and Tittsworth at U Street Music Hall. See more in our music listings!
THEATER
In this week’s paper, Trey Graham praises the awesome trippiness of Basil Twist’s Dogugaeshi at Studio Theatre (shown above). It’s only here until Sunday—-get your tickets now. And while you’re at it, make time to see the campy yet touching Arias With a Twist at Woolly Mammoth.
EAT THIS
Maybe you missed your last shot to preview Top Chef alum and recent City Paper cover boy Mike Isabella‘s forthcoming Mexican restaurant Bandolero. Here’s to second chances. Tonight, the Graffiato toque kicks off another series of pop-up dinners at Tackle Box in Cleveland Park. Choose your own gustatory adventure from a sprawling menu of taquitos (crab, tuna, or beef), tacos (octopus, asparagus, suckling pig, others) and even more stuff (empanadas, enchiladas, nachos, etc.). My advice: Do not pass up the sopes. The five-course tasting menu is priced at $65, including tax and gratuity. Cocktails are extra. Make reservations here. Also: walk-ins are welcome to dine at the bar. Even if you can’t make it tonight, the pop-up continues somewhat sporadically through May 5. Bandolero at Tackle Box, 3407 Connecticut Avenue, (202) 289-3600. (Chris Shott)
