In the words of the immortal James Brown, this is a man’s world – and the
neighborhood of 14th & Shaw might as well be the center of the universe.
From the city’s best new bars to top-notch shops for upgrading your closet,
this is where every well-dressed, well-groomed, well-read man wants to be.

WHAT’S
HAPPENING?
Ready to outfit your inner mountain
man? Head to Federal ( 2216 14 th
Street NW; 202 .518 .3375) to
shop clothing from Gitman Bros.
Vintage, Pendleton, & Raleigh Denim.
Round out your new duds with shoes
from Red Wing Heritage, a backpack
from Herschel Supply Co., or some
Shuron shades.
If you resolved to get fit in 2014 ,
you’ll want to head to Universal
Gear (1919C 14 th Street NW;
202.319.0136) to score a new
swimsuit that shows off your hard
work. Expect teeny briefs,
standard board shorts, and
everything in between.
The heritage-minded folks at Mutiny
(52 O Street NW; 202.500.8680)
have been peddling quality menswear and accessories for years via
a web shop and a small installation
inside Redeem. A new showroom
inside the 52 O Street artist studios
means you can shop by appointment
and scope the full inventory.
D/CITY CINEMA
A new 6- screen Landmark Theatre
is set to debut in late 2015 as part
of the Atlantic Plumbing development at 8th and V streets NW .
Like Landmark’s other cinemas,
this one promises all the bells and

and an indoor-outdoor cafe.

“CHEAP, SLOUCHY
LEATHER JACKETS
ARE THE WORST...”
I’m allergic to those leather shoes that are
part sneaker, part formal shoe that some men wear.
I know it seems practical but it’s just lazy. I wish men
in D.C. would accessorize more. A hat, bracelet,
or colored sock goes a long way.

you want to head for craft beers,
interesting wines, and innovative

This Chicago- and Detroitthemed hangout is known for
a killer trifecta: cold beers, shots,

“Many gentlemen in D.C. forget to take pride in and
ownership of the fitment of their suits, and don’t take
advantage of building a close relationship with a tailor.
Nothing elevates a man’s soul like wearing a suit knowing

care, and worn as one to whom details matter.”

Derek Brown’s oyster haven is
also a mecca for cocktails by the
pitcher — so even if you show up
alone, you’ll probably leave with
a few new friends.
I started reaching out to friends and people who connected
me to other people, and eventually found Chris Naoum at
Think Local First, which exists to support local musicians
and support their audiences. That started the ball rolling.

Q: What aspect of the day are you most excited about?
A: I think this event has the opportunity to bring people together
from all corners of the city and all walks of life, [to] find
something in common in the music they love. And I think
seeing that happen would be the best thing in the world.

There is definitely a
niche of stylish men in D.C.
who would stand out in any city.
However, so many men are caught
in the daily rut of just working that
they completely neglect the notion
of expressing yourself through
what you wear.
Although people are making
more of an effort to leave the
house in something slightly less
drab, they still can’t figure out
where to buy a decent pair of
shoes.Yes, I’m talking about
you, the one in the khakis and
black square-toe shoes.”
Tip: Take your favorite
pair of pants to the
tailor. One pair. After
the compliments roll
in, you’ll take others.
Slightly more advanced
tip: I’ve learned that
guys are often a jacket
size smaller than a
salesperson told them.
Give it a try next time!
Are you single, or are you taken? Just follow
these steps & attractive strangers will be asking

Springtime in D.C. is a beautiful thing
(cherry blossoms, anyone?). But, a definite
highlight this year is the first-ever Funk
Parade on U Street — an all-out, all-day
music festival featuring some of the
neighborhood’s best local acts & businesses.
We caught up with the event’s cofounder,
Justin Rood, to get the inside scoop on
what to expect. The coolest part?
The idea came to him in a dream.
Read on for the full story!
Q: Tell us a little bit about your background.
A: I was born and raised here, in Washington, D.C. My home
is at 13th and U, and I love the neighborhood. All of the live
music, the jazz, and the dancing. It's the best neighborhood
in the city.
Q: So how and when did you think of the idea to start a Funk
Parade on U Street?
A: A couple of years ago, I went to sleep and had a dream, and
in the dream, there was this parade. Filled with musicians
and dancers and my neighbors, and people came to the
neighborhood and came out of their houses and joined this
parade on foot and brought the parade and the crowd back
to U Street. That ticked off an evening of music and celebration for the neighborhood and the city. I woke up and
couldn’t understand why this wasn’t already happening.
Q: What can people expect?
A: Chris and I thought it was a great idea and really resonated
with the spirit of the neighborhood and the city, but we
wanted to see what other folks thought. We started speaking
with local business and community groups, and everybody
was wildly supportive. So, Ben’s Chili Bowl joined; [then] the
U Street Neighborhood Association, the Howard Theater,
Black Cat, Twins Jazz, Tropicalia, Blind Dog Cafe, & The
Brixton. And then we went to the [Advisory Neighborhood
Commission]. Every neighborhood has one. It’s a very
important voice of the community in determining what
happens in the area. They unanimously supported the event
& thought it was a great idea. Council member Jim Graham
has been a huge supporter from the beginning. And so we've
been working with all these folks to put together a phenomenal series of events for Saturday, May 3.
Q: What do you want people to say about it when it’s over?
A: I hope that they see something they’ve never seen before;
meet somebody they’ve never met; and discover something
they share that they didn’t know they shared.

Smart but not stuffy, preppy but
not pretentious — that’s one rule
to live by when you’re dressing
for work. Experiment with colorful
shirts, ties, and pocket squares,
tying them all together with a
classic blue blazer.
For your urban adventures,
embrace modern minimalism
with a crisp white buttondown and a lightweight, readyfor-everything parka. Perfectly
fitted denim rounds out this

Calling all weekend warriors:
You don’t have to resort to T-shirts
and jeans when you want to be comfy.
Try some raw denim, a soft flannel
shirt, and a barn jacket to step up
your casual game.
So, maybe you haven’t stepped on
a skateboard in a while. No worries —
a Stussy tee and a graphic hoodie will
definitely help you look the part.
If you’re a pro, opt for one of
the store’s sick decks.
