					<p>Dear cherished reader,</p> <p></p> <p>It is with the heaviest of hearts that we write today to say goodbye. After fourteen years delivering you the best in food, fashion, and fun, this train, as they say, is pulling into the station.</p> <p></p> <p>Rest assured that every single day that we have published DailyCandy, we have done so with delight.</p> <p></p> <p>Our mission was always to charm and inform you, whether telling you about an innovative new restaurant in Brooklyn, a trendy boutique in Chicago&#8217;s Gold Coast, or a groundbreaking San Fran band. Through the years, nothing made us happier than helping an emerging designer from West Hollywood find her audience or hearing that after we featured an attorney from Philly she quit her job to make brownies full-time.</p> <p></p> <p>But all good things must come to an end. And this, friends, is ours. On April 4, we will close our doors.</p> <p></p> <p>It&#8217;s been the ride of our lives, and we have loved sharing it with you.</p> <p></p> <p>Yours,<br /> DailyCandy</p></div>

					Still hibernating? Fiola Mare, Aggio, Lupo Verde, and Red Apron are worth waking up for.

					<p>You&#8217;ve spent enough winter nights at home huddled over a bowl of pasta. Now that it&#8217;s above freezing, <em>mangia</em> at one of these spots instead.</p> <p><a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/washington-dc/listing/169805/Fiola-Mare" target="_blank">Fiola Mare</a><br /> If you&#8217;re lucky, caviar, smoked potato gnocchi, seafood brodetto, and baba al rhum (liquor cake) will all be on the ever-changing menu at chef Fabio Trabocchi&#8217;s Washington Harbour trattoria. The spread is as luxurious as the white and brass decor. End your search for the city&#8217;s best lobster roll at the bar. The Potomac views are pure D.C., but the experience smacks of a dip in the Mediterranean.</p> <p><a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/washington-dc/listing/169806/Aggio" target="_blank">Aggio</a><br /> Bryan Voltaggio&#8217;s imaginative supper club sits inside Range, located in a Friendship Heights mall. (In this case, the journey is not the destination.) Cadge a reservation and delight in brain-busting combinations (king crab and buttered popcorn) and treatments (calamari Bolognese). For the less adventurous, there are damn good meatballs in ragu. Plans to open a second location in Baltimore are already in the works.</p> <p><a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/washington-dc/listing/169807/Lupo-Verde" target="_blank">Lupo Verde</a><br /> Trip to 14th Street for casual Southern Italian fare in a two-story Victorian with an exposed brick-meets-Carrera marble interior. The team behind Station 4 serves a warm welcome, pizzas, and negronis with house-made vermouth. In a hurry? Seventy percent of the menu is available to go. Stock up on fresh and dried pastas, house-cured meats, and 50 cheeses for sale by the ounce in the first-floor market.</p> <p><a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/washington-dc/listing/169808/Red-Apron-D-Street" target="_blank">Red Apron</a><br /> Nate Anda serves sandwiches with flair (don&#8217;t skip the tigelle) at his Penn Quarter restaurant-slash-market. The star of the breakfast menu is a flaky griddled bread from Emilia-Romagna, overstuffed with sausage, egg, cheese, and maple sugar. Afternoon diet busters include burgers and dogs, a daily hot sandwich, and grinders to go. Yes, there&#8217;s a snappy arugula salad, but most prefer it with diced salami, provolone, and artichoke. The meat case is packed with prime cuts for home cooks. Stick around for a house brew (beer or coffee).</p> <p><em><span style="color:#A9A9A9;"><span style="font-size:10px;">Photo: Greg Powers / Courtesy of Fiola Mare</span></span></em></p></div>

					Don&apos;t smash the porcelain piggy. Stretch your cash (and good times) with a dozen suggestions for cheap outings across the District.
					<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

					<p>You know all about the free museums, but you&#8217;re in need of excitement beyond the National Mall. We&#8217;ve mapped out a dozen monumentally money-saving activities &#8212; each costs less than ten bucks.</p> <p>1. Or hit up The Eddy Bar inside <a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/washington-dc/listing/132016/Hanks-Oyster-Bar" target="_blank">Hank&#8217;s Oyster Bar</a> on the Hill, where a glass of crisp Soave ($5) pairs well with $1 oysters (Monday-Thursday, 5-7 p.m. and Friday, 3-7 p.m.).</p> <p>2. Thirsty? Peckish? Grab a glass of punch and a knish ($7) during happy hour at Buffalo &amp; Bergen, Gina Chersevani&#8217;s Brooklyn-inspired soda fountain inside <a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/washington-dc/listing/134340/Union-Market" target="_blank">Union Market</a> (Tuesday-Friday, 4-7 p.m.).</p> <p>3. Warm up to the subtleties of better beans at the free weekly cupping (every Friday, 10 a.m.) hosted by cult roaster <a href="http://counterculturecoffee.com/cupping" target="_blank">Counter Culture Coffee</a> at its Adams Morgan training facility.</p> <p>4. Skip the corporate corn. <a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/washington-dc/listing/54790/Arlington-Cinema-n-Drafthouse" target="_blank">Arlington Cinema &amp; Drafthouse</a> runs recent releases before they land on Netflix. Two-dollar tickets on Monday and Tuesday make double features a reel option on date night.</p> <p>5. Get sudsy on a tour of <a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/washington-dc/listing/128736/3-Stars-Brewing-Company" target="_blank">3 Stars Brewing Company</a> in Takoma Park. Take your ID to sample brews (get four three-ounce pours for free) and discover the founders&#8217; soft side: They use locally grown grains.</p> <p>6. Stretch your <s>buck</s> core at <a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/washington-dc/listing/166728/Studio-Yoga" target="_blank">The Studio DC</a>, where the owners are so passionate about hot vinyasa they host at least one community class each day ($10). Check the <a href="http://www.thestudiodc.com/yogaschedulelevels.htm" target="_blank">schedule</a> for times.</p> <p><img align="middle" alt="great falls!" border="0" class="img-center" height="585" src="http://static.dailycandy.com/resource.jsp?id=355681&amp;name=great-falls-22514-dc-780.jpg" width="780" /></p> <p>7. With Metro fares set to increase in 2015, try a hike with a flat fee. Admission to <a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/washington-dc/listing/164060/Great-Falls-Park" target="_blank">Great Falls Park</a> in Fairfax County (pictured above) is just $3. The path is challenging at points, but views of the Potomac dotted with kayaks are worth it.</p> <p>8. As your fortune rests, see America&#8217;s wealth at work during a tour of the <a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/washington-dc/listing/166729/Bureau-of-Engraving-and-Printing" target="_blank">Bureau of Engraving and Printing</a>. Watch as millions of dollars are printed, then quasisplurge in the gift shop on baggies of shredded greenbacks: $2 buys you $150 in destroyed tender; $5 gets you $500.</p> <p>9. <a href="http://dc.nerdnite.com/" target="_blank">Nerd Nite</a>, the monthly microlecture series hosted at <a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/washington-dc/listing/61464/DC9" target="_blank">DC9</a>, is brain food with a side of wings. Three science-minded experts present their areas of expertise as you adjust your Warby Parkers. Admission is $10.</p> <p>10. Tighten your side pony and dance your Spanx off at Breakfast Club, an &#8217;80s night that Khelan Bhatia and Adam Koussari-Amin curate at the <a href="http://www.duplexdiner.com/" target="_blank">Duplex Diner</a>. Held one Friday a month, the party is free to enter; when the clock strikes midnight, some cocktails are slashed to just $4 a pop.</p> <p>11. Swing for the stars at <a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/washington-dc/listing/71057/East-Potomac-Golf-Course" target="_blank">East Potomac Golf Course</a>, where the driving range has a view of the river and heated stalls. It&#8217;s $7 for a bucket of 51 balls, leaving just enough coin for a large order of fries ($3) after your workout.</p> <p>12. Short on dough? Don&#8217;t fret your brows. Have them shaped by a trainee at the <a href="http://www.avedainstitutesbb.com/" target="_blank">Aveda Institute</a> at Gallery Place for $10. Same for e<span style="line-height: 1.6em;">yelash tinting, too.</span></p> <p>Wink at your banker.</p> <p><em><span style="color:#A9A9A9;"><span style="font-size:10px;">Photos: Kate Gibbs for DailyCandy; Lalo_Pangue / Flickr</span></span></em></p></div>

The opening of Roofers Union, a gastropub smack-dab in the land of the bro bar, is reason to return to the neighborhood.</p> <p>The big (wo)man on campus is Marjorie Meek-Bradley, who worked for Thomas Keller before going to&#160;<a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/washington-dc/listing/120545/Ripple" target="_blank">Ripple</a>. She&#8217;ll continue to run that kitchen as she schools the diners on&#160;18th Street.</p> <p>Start with small bites such as French onion dip with potato chips, trotter arancini, and lamb ribs rubbed with zaatar.&#160;There are lighter plates like cauliflower with mint and olive oil-poached salmon, but Meek-Bradley&#8217;s sausages are a must-order. Andouille corn dogs with cheese spread, beer brats on pretzel rolls, merguez on lentils: She&#8217;s hand-stuffed them all.
