High-profile homebody has sampled very little of the cultural scene THE DISTRICT After living in Washington for nearly a year, President Trump has yet to enjoy a single nonworking meal at a restaurant that doesn’t pay him rent. He hasn’t taken in a performance at the Kennedy Center, hasn’t been to a sporting event, hasn’t toured most of the sights.

It’s one of the peculiarities of the Trump presidency and one of a long list of ways in which he’s changing the office, as well as its relationship with Washington.

“I would say that Trump has been the least present of any of the most recent presidents,” said Phil Mendelson, chairman of the Washington D.C. City Council and a Democratic member of the council since 1999.

It’s not just restaurants, says Mendelson. Trump has been

less engaged on the local charity circuit than other recent presidents, with no stops at local food banks or to help elementary school reading drives. First lady Melania Trump has ventured out more often, appearing with Jordan’s Queen Rania at a girls’ charter school, attending a holiday toy drive sponsored by the military and visiting with patients and staff at Children’s National Medical Center.

But the homebody president rarely goes out — and when he does, it’s almost always to properties that bear his name.

Trump has spent at least part of more than 100 days of his presidency at properties he owns — taking winter weekends at his private Mar-a-Lago club in Florida and summer weekends in Bedminster, N.J., or at his Virginia golf club.

Those weekends that he has spent in Washington, Trump has dined at just one restaurant: BLT Prime in the Trump

ALEX BRANDON (AP)

Trump takes a hard pass on D.C. dining Since his inauguration Jan. 20, President Trump has had a weekend meal at only one restaurant —BLT Prime in the Trump International Hotel.

“I’m just not sure to what extent he’s welcome in the community.”

JESSICA SIDMAN, food editor at Washingtonian magazine, saying President Trump may face resistance if he dines out in D.C., where just 4 percent of residents voted for him

International Hotel. His visits have thrilled the tourists who flock to the hotel, building buzz and earning revenue. But most often, Trump, who is known to

prefer well-done steaks with ketchup, chooses to eat in.

“I love the food in the White House. The White House is the greatest restaurant; it’s the most beautiful,” he told the Larry O’Connor radio show last month.

Trump took office as arguably the most prepared of recent presidents for the constraints of living and working in the White House and its Secret Serviceenforced security bubble, having spent decades ensconced at Trump Tower in New York.

Not much has changed — though the house, plane and helicopter are now taxpayer-paid.

Trump’s homebody ways

mark a dramatic shift from his predecessor, who relished the renaissance in the D.C. dining scene. The Obamas embraced Washington, sampling its hottest restaurants, from high-end to lowbrow, and providing coveted buzz to eateries like celebrity chef Jose Andres’ small-plates restaurant Oyamel Cocina Mexicana and Danny Meyer’s Shake Shack.

Even before Obama’s inauguration, then-Mayor Adrian Fenty welcomed the soon-to-be president to the city with lunch at the famous Ben’s Chili Bowl.

The Trumps have kept a much lower profile, with no known first lady shopping trips or presidential visits to son Barron’s soccer games. Trump did visit the Smithsonian’s new black history museum last February during Black History Month.

Trump recently suggested he might venture out of his comfort zone more often.

“In Washington you do have some great restaurants, and I’m going to start going to ’em,” he said in the radio interview last month. “I was accused the other day, well, when I leave the White House, which is seldom, I always go to my hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue and they say, ‘He should go to other places.’ And I never thought of it, and I’m going to start doing that. I’m going to go around.” JILL COLVIN (AP)

Va. House stays in flux with seat still contested RICHMOND With the outcome of a critical House of Delegates race in legal limbo, Democrats and Republicans appear to be looking for ways to wield power in a chamber that could be split down the middle.

According to an internal Democratic email warning the caucus to stick together, House Republicans are trying to woo an unknown number of Democrats to side with them when the House elects a speaker on Jan. 10, offering plum committee assignments as enticements.

“Despite their best efforts,

Republicans have so far failed to undermine our unity by offering deals to various members in exchange [for] a vote for Speaker,” Democratic Leader David Toscano wrote in the email.

In the email, he also warned Democrats against calling in sick when the legislature convenes for the 2018 session on Jan. 10 — or even taking an ill-timed bathroom break during the floor session, fearing that even in an evenly split chamber, the GOP might seize any opportunity to call a vote and take control.

for Republicans to exploit a temporary absence for partisan gain.

In January 2013, Republicans in an evenly split Virginia Senate used the one-day absence of a single Democrat — who was in Washington, D.C., attending President Obama’s second inauguration — to push through a rewrite of the Senate map.

The scheme drew ridicule on late-night television, and Speaker William J. Howell, RStafford, eventually tossed out the map on procedural grounds.

A different kind of treetrimming took place at the White House on Wednesday when part of a historic magnolia tree on the south grounds was cut off because it had become a safety risk, a spokeswoman for first lady Melania Trump said.

The nearly 200-year-old tree was cut back while President Trump and his family are in Florida for the holidays. Spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said earlier in the week that Mrs. Trump had given her OK for a large portion of the tree to be cut back after she reviewed reports prepared by government experts about the magnolia’s condition and explored options with White House staff. The first lady has asked that wood from the tree be preserved, and that seedlings be made available if an opportunity arises to plant a new tree.

nation+world Sources: Lawyers will cast ex-adviser as a liar if he accuses president POLITICS President Trump’s legal team plans to cast former national security adviser Michael Flynn as a liar seeking to protect himself if he accuses the president or his senior aides of any wrongdoing, according to three people familiar with the strategy.

The approach would mark a sharp break from Trump’s posture toward Flynn, whom he called a “wonderful man” when Flynn was ousted from the White House in February. Earlier this month, the president did not rule out a pardon for Flynn, who has

pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and is cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Attorneys for Trump and his top advisers have privately expressed confidence that Flynn does not have any evidence that could implicate the president or his White House team. But since Flynn’s cooperation agreement with prosecutors was made public this month, the administration has been strategizing over how to neutralize him if necessary.

Flynn is the most senior former Trump adviser known to be providing information to Mueller’s team. The lenient terms of his plea agreement suggest he has promised significant

information to investigators.

He pleaded guilty this month to one felony count of lying to the FBI, a charge that carries a

maximum sentence of five years in prison. Prosecutors said they will recommend a sentence of zero to six months in prison as part of his cooperation deal.

Flynn’s son, who served as his chief of staff, also faced the risk of criminal charges, according to people familiar with the plea negotiations, but was spared.

Trump’s legal team has seized on Flynn’s agreement with prosecutors as fodder for a defense, if necessary. In court filings, he admitted lying to the FBI about talks he had with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. during the December 2016 transition.

“He’s said it himself: He’s a liar,” said one person helping craft the strategy. CAROL D. LEONNIG

EASTERN GHOUTA, SYRIA | Syrian staff from the International Committee of the Red Cross take part in an evacuation Tuesday of a suburb of Damascus. Syria’s government is allowing nearly 30 ill people to leave the area, where hundreds requiring treatment have been prevented from reaching nearby hospitals. The government recently tightened its siege of Eastern Ghouta, one of Syria’s last remaining rebel strongholds.

South Korean prosecutors seek 12-year jail term for Samsung heir Lee, who is appealing bribery conviction

Israel’s minister of transportation wants to name a new train station set to be built in the next few years in Jerusalem after President Trump.

If all goes according to plan, “Trump Station” will sit near the Western Wall and will ferry the faithful and tourists to one of Judaism’s holiest sites in the politically sensitive Old City.

The transportation minister, Yisrael Katz, said Wednesday that the naming of the station was a gesture to Trump, who made a “courageous and historic decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the state of Israel.”

On Dec. 6, Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, reversing U.S. policy and challenging the global consensus to leave the status of the city to Israelis and Palestinians.

The train line planned by Katz is an extension of a new highspeed rail link set to open next year connecting Jerusalem to Israel’s commercial center in Tel Aviv and the country’s airport.

The plan announced Wednesday will see the train continuing from the entrance of Jerusalem and traveling through a 2-mile tunnel — 190 feet underground — to reach inside the disputed Old City’s walls.

However, excavation under the holy city, home to sites holy to Jews, Christians and Muslims, will likely be met with resistance from Palestinians and the international community. RUTH EGLASH

LONDON In his first interview since leaving office, Barack Obama didn’t mention President Trump by name, but he really didn’t have to: Obama told his host, Prince Harry, that leaders shouldn’t use social media to stoke division.

“All of us in leadership have to find ways in which we can recreate a common space on the internet,” Obama said.

The interview took the form of a warm chat between the 44th president and Prince Harry, who was a guest host on BBC Radio 4’s popular “Today” program.

“One of the dangers of the internet is that people can have entirely different realities. They can be cocooned in information that reinforces their current biases,” Obama said.

“It is harder to be as obnoxious and cruel in person as people can

be anonymously on the internet.”

The interview aired Wednesday but was recorded in September in Toronto, when Obama was in Canada to attend the Invictus Games, a charity and sporting event created by Harry to honor wounded soldiers.

Obama said he felt serene the day he left the White House at the end of his second four-year term despite the vast amount of work that remained unfinished.

“We had run a good race,” he said.

Obama said he now enjoys setting his own agenda each day, and taking 45 minutes to have breakfast or talk with his wife, Michelle.

Obama admitted to being bothered by one change that D.C.area residents will understand.

“I used to cause traffic,” he said. “I now experience traffic.”

Admissions teams strain as demand rises for education at major public universities

NEW YORK

Work halted on church to replace one lost on 9/11

ASTRID RIECKEN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

EDUCATION Like an attorney arguing a case, Adrian Rodriguez pitched the applicant to fellow admissions officers seated this month as an internal court of gatekeepers for the University of Maryland. The student had strong grades but soso SAT marks. Rodriguez liked her essay and extracurriculars, and saw a “pretty good upward trend” in performance.

“She’s compelling,” agreed Michael Nixon, leader of the committee, which granted a rare view inside the inner sanctum of U-Md. admissions. But another officer said he worried about the student’s class rank and course selection.

“Not a lot of rigor,” he said.

Debate on the 18-member committee lasted 22 minutes until Nixon called for a vote. Only Rodriguez raised his hand for fall admission to College Park.

Others voted to deny. But the applicant was not rejected. The majority chose to offer entry in the spring semester of 2019.

With that verdict, one case was settled among more than 30,000 to be decided by April 1.

The scene gave a glimpse of how a prominent public university strives to fulfill its promise that every prospective student will get a close look, or “holistic review,” even in an era of surging applications for College Park and other big state schools nationwide. It also showed the complex and subjective interplay of factors determining who gets in — and who does not.

U-Md. allowed The Washington Post into the room in early December on the condition that names of applicants and identifying details remain confidential.

“People believe it’s really formulaic,” said Shannon R. Gundy, U-Md.’s director of undergraduate admissions. “That’s just not true.”

An 18-member admissions committee votes Dec. 7 on an application to the University of Maryland at College Park.

Across the country, major public universities have been inundated by applications in the past decade. The latest available federal data shows the 50 state flagships received 1.3 million applications in 2016, up 79 percent compared with 10 years earlier. The admissions frenzy intensified as the size of entering classes grew at a far slower pace.

The application surge strains admissions teams.

“We are really pressed,” said Philip Ballinger, associate vice provost for enrollment at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Ballinger said UW employs about 60 “readers,” including year-round admissions staff as well as graduate students and retired admissions officers who work part time in the high season. On average, he said, a good reader can rate an application in about seven to eight minutes.

He said it would be cheaper and more efficient to screen applicants

A pickier process The University of Maryland has become much more selective. A quarter-century ago, it admitted 75 percent of its 14,000 applicants for the fall class. Now, it does so for fewer than half of more than 30,000 applicants. With an admission rate of 48 percent in 2016, U-Md. ranked ninth in selectivity among flagships, just behind the University of Florida (46 percent) and ahead of the University of Connecticut (49 percent). The leaders were UC-Berkeley and the universities of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (27 percent), Michigan (29 percent) and Virginia (30 percent). (TWP)

primarily on grade-point averages and test scores — which was, in fact, standard practice at UW until 2006. But he said a bythe-numbers approach would be “totally destructive.” To illustrate the point, he posed a rhetorical

Property manager in Troy, N.Y., finds four people dead in apartment in suspected homicide

question: Which applicant is stronger, a student with a 3.8 gradepoint average or one with a 3.5?

“Most people will say it depends,” Ballinger said. “And that’s exactly right.”

U-Md. lists on its website 26 factors it considers. The university says these factors are “flexibly applied,” but the most important are course rigor, student performance, academic GPA and test scores.

Upward mobility is also a factor. The committee gave consensus fall approval to an applicant from a public high school in suburban Maryland whose parents had not gone to college. This candidate was multilingual, active in student government and had a distinguished internship. She had strong recommendations and mostly standout grades but a modest SAT score.

Nixon said: “Exactly the kind of student we make an exception for.”

POLITICS After the bloody Unite the Right rally in August in Charlottesville, Va., technology companies tightened rules against hate speech and banned many extremists from using web hosting services, social media platforms and online payment systems.

But some on the furthest edges of the political spectrum soon found an effective tool to thwart this industry crackdown: bitcoin.

Even before Charlottesville, Richard Spencer, a prominent member of the alt-right, a movement that espouses racist, antiSemitic and sexist views, had declared bitcoin “the currency of the alt-right.” But far-right leaders and experts on extremist movements say the adoption of bitcoin gained new urgency after Charlottesville.

Those who began acquiring bitcoin in August have seen it quadruple in value since then.

The digital currency began trading on several mainstream markets this month, pushing the price of a single bitcoin at times above $19,000. It was $15,360 on Wednesday evening.

Extremists who invested in bitcoin as a bulwark against efforts to block their political activity now find themselves holding

“Bitcoin is allowing people in the movement to go beyond cash in an envelope or a check,” said Heidi Beirich of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

First created in 2009 by an anonymous computer programmer, bitcoin is a digital currency that is not issued by any government and has no physical manifestation, such as coins or bills.

Someone who wants to buy bitcoin can sign up for one of many online exchanges and pay dollars (or other traditional currency) for the digital currency.

at any of a growing list of businesses, nonprofit groups and financial institutions that accept it.

A secure updated ledger called the blockchain records all transactions in a publicly visible way.

Unlike government-regulated banking systems that record traditional transactions, the blockchain is decentralized, relying on mathematical calculations across countless computers worldwide.

Such a system makes it difficult for regulators and law enforcement agencies to monitor assets or know the identities of account holders. It also allows fringe groups not only to collect money, but to spend it more easily — for example, on foreign online services if U.S. companies restrict their access.

Separation looms: Ugly divorce likely for Cousins, club another attempt to re-sign Cousins to a long-term deal under the faux threat of a third straight franchise tag.

Allen wants a hometown discount, but Cousins spends the offseason in Georgia and Michigan. He only rents in Virginia.

Cousins always says the right things about hoping for a future with Washington, but for two years he’s milked every dollar out of the Redskins.

He’s earned $44 million over two seasons on the franchise tag. If Allen dares to franchise Cousins again in 2018, it would cost the team $34 million more.

Both sides clearly want to part, but neither side wants to be blamed for the breakup.

If he’s given an out, Cousins won’t look back. There could be a half-dozen teams bidding for him in free agency. If he lets Cousins walk, Allen may have to deal with more declining crowds. If the biggest reason to keep Allen around after a horrid eight-year tenure is to negotiate a new stadium, it better be a smaller venue.

1:30 p.m. today, ESPN JONATHAN NEWTON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Sunday may bring an emotional farewell for Giants quarterback Eli Manning at MetLife Stadium. After playing 14 seasons and winning two Super Bowl rings with New York, he’s clearly on the downside of his career, and his benching for a game earlier this season could mean the franchise is ready to move on.

Across the field, Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins may also play his final game for his team. But this won’t be as bittersweet. There will be no misty eyes or stuttered goodbyes over the prospect of Cousins’ exit. It’s simply business.

“Who knows?” Cousins said after winning what might have been his FedEx Field farewell against Denver on Christmas Eve. “We’re going to see how this whole thing goes.”

It’s going to go badly. Expect a long, painful divorce with each side blaming the other come spring, when team president Bruce Allen botches

MILITARY BOWL

Virginia (6-6) vs. Navy (6-6)

Kirk Cousins may have played his final home game at FedEx Field this week as he prepares to enter a third straight offseason of contract negotiations.

Broncos linebacker Von Miller said Sunday that “a lot of teams would kill to have a quarterback like [Cousins].”

But a large number of Redskins fans never embraced Cousins, despite the fact that he’s only 65 yards away from a third straight 4,000-yard passing season. They’re soured by the mountains of money he commands and resent that he supplanted Robert Griffin III. Allen has bet against Cousins for three years. Now the Redskins are in a financial faceoff they can’t win. Allen will probably make another bogus offer that is nowhere close to fair.

Maybe Allen can work a tagand-trade deal that could at least net a first-round pick.

Washington just beat two awful quarterbacks — Arizona’s Blaine Gabbert and Denver’s Brock Osweiler — in the past two weeks. The thought of the Redskins having to turn to a passer like Gabbert or Osweiler after starting 21 QBs in the past 23 years is nauseating.

Still, the slow dance over the coming months will probably lead to Cousins and the Redskins finding new partners.

The Wizards and Nike on Wednesday shared the team’s fourth and final uniform for the 2017-18 season, a part of the apparel company’s City Edition series that displays “The District of Columbia” across the chest and includes a Washington Monument side panel. The Wizards will wear the uniforms in 12 upcoming games, six at home and six on the road. They will debut them Jan. 30 when Oklahoma City visits Capital One Arena.

Virginia hasn’t won a bowl game since 2005 and is seeking its first winning season in six years. Navy gets to play at home in Annapolis, but lost six of seven after a 5-0 start. The last time the Cavs faced a triple-option offense, they gave up 36 points to Georgia Tech. Kurt Benkert needs three TD passes to tie Matt Schaub’s season record (28) at Virginia. (AP)

Oklahoma State averages 46.3 points per game, but Virginia Tech allows just 13.5.

The Hokies posted three shutouts and gave up 162 points total. That’s 37 fewer points than the Cowboys scored in November. QB Josh Jackson could become the first freshman starter to win 10 games for Virginia Tech since Michael Vick did it in 1999. (AP)

Deputy PM steps down from World Cup committee

With AFC West clinched, Chiefs to start Mahomes

American Airlines has apologized to two members of the Grizzlies’ G League affiliate who were kicked off a plane after being wrongly accused of stealing blankets. Marquis Teague and Trahson Burrell of the Memphis Hustle were on a plane in Dallas-Fort Worth bound for Sioux Falls, S.D., and operated by Envoy Air. Two first-class passengers gave the players blankets as they headed to coach seats. A flight attendant accused them of theft, and they were asked to leave after an argument. A spokesman said the players later flew first-class. The NAACP in October warned African-Americans they may face discrimination on American. (AP)

Vitaly Mutko, a Russian deputy prime minister who was allegedly involved in a state-run doping program, said Wednesday he will step down as head of the local organizing committee (LOC) of the 2018 World Cup. Russia will host the event, which runs June 14 to July 15.

Mutko’s move comes two days after he said he would temporarily step down as president of the Russian Football Union. Mutko served as Russia’s sports minister during the 2014 Sochi Games. The IOC banned him from the Olympics for life, blaming his ministry for “failure to respect” anti-doping rules. He said Wednesday he’ll contest the ban. (AP)

Patrick Mahomes II snapped a 34-year streak in which the Chiefs eschewed drafting a quarterback in the first round when they traded up to pick him 10th overall. Now, he’s set to snap an even longer streak.

Mahomes will make his regularseason debut for the Chiefs when they visit the Broncos on Sunday.

It will be the first time since Steve Fuller in 1979 that Kansas City has started a rookie quarterback in a non-strike year. The Chiefs clinched back-to-back AFC West titles for the first time last week. With no way to improve playoff positioning, coach Andy Reid decided to give QB Alex Smith the week to rest. (AP)

Market and it’s great so far. I recommend it for anyone, even if you’re not a DJ and you’re just interested in the history of humans and music.

After that, I’d probably skip over to Union Market. There’s some pretty awesome peoplewatching over there, especially on weekends. I’d watch the buzz for a little bit and then I’d pay a visit to the new Burmese bodega, Toli Moli, and I’d get a tea leaf salad. They also make faloodas, which are layered dessert drinks, so I’d get one of those too.

Ayes Cold DJ

Grad school brought Ayesha Chugh to D.C. in 2010, and international do-gooding kept her occupied for a few years after graduation. But in 2015, Chugh quit her job to pursue her true calling: spinning a polyrhythmic, globe-trotting mix of dance music at festivals including Broccoli City, Bonnaroo and Trillectro as DJ Ayes Cold. You can catch her act Tuesdays at 6 p.m. in the lobby of The Line hotel in Adams Morgan (with sets broadcast live online via Full Service Radio), or on New Year’s Eve at U Street Music Hall (1115 U St. NW; Sun., 9 p.m., $12). Born in Chicago and raised in India, Chugh, 30, is a self-proclaimed nomad, but she’s also a big fan of her adopted hometown of D.C. What’s in the mix for the DJ’s perfect D.C. day?

I’d wake up on time for breakfast. I don’t get to do this very often because I’m often DJ’ing out late. So I’d stop by Maketto and get their yogurt parfait, which comes with a little lemon curd in it. I’d top that off with granola — a barista gave me that tip. It’s delicious. I’d do that with some espresso. Then, if my income were more disposable, I’d go shopping at the storefront of Maketto, which has a pretty awesome sneaker selection,

and I’d walk away with a new pair of Vans.

Then I’d head to the National Arboretum for a nice long walk, and I’d take a blanket and a book. Since it’s my dream day, the sun would be shining and the birds would be singing.

I’d sit down by the magnolia trees or the dogwoods and finish reading “This Is Your Brain on Music� [by Daniel J. Levitin]. I picked it up recently at Capitol Hill Books in Eastern

LEAH BEILHART

240.644.1100 | RoundHouseTheatre.org Bethesda Metro: 1 Block | Convenient Parking!

Then I’d walk to Dupont Circle and make my way to Kramerbooks. It’s like a D.C. institution. I love the combination of the coffee shop and bookstore — I wish we had more of those. I’d probably get another book and then sit out in the circle and read it for a while.

It’s probably 5 p.m. now, and I’m starting to get hungry again, so I’d grab a LimeBike or a Mobike — I downloaded all the bike-share apps — and head to Columbia Heights and get a simple, delicious meal at Letena. Letena is a deli-style Ethiopian restaurant and it’s one of the best-kept secrets in that neighborhood, foodwise.

Their ingredients are super fresh, the presentation of the food is beautiful and the owner is super hospitable. I’d meet a friend there and we’d get their signature tibs — they are like stir-fry strips of meat — and their doro wot, a chicken stew.

We’d also get the vegetarian sampler.

Then I might stop by U Street Music Hall and see what’s popping, or I’d check out Velvet Lounge or Service Bar. Between those three places, you’re bound to find a decent DJ. And maybe I’d swing by All Souls for a nightcap before I head home, depending on how I’m feeling, because it’s been a very active day.

Wake up, little foodie DEB LINDSEY (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

You can’t swing a champagne flute in this town without hitting a decent brunch spot. But a good breakfast joint? That’s a little tougher to find. Too often we’re left settling for a $15 plate of mediocre bacon and eggs. But if you know where to go, the first meal of the day can be a treat. Here are five spots worth getting up early for — and all are open on New Year’s Day, for your first (likely hung over) meal of the year. GABE HIATT (EXPRESS); MATT BROOKS, FRITZ HAHN, MAURA JUDKIS AND HOLLEY SIMMONS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Wicked Waffle

The row of waffle irons in the front window clues you in to this restaurant’s gimmick: Nearly every dish is served atop a Belgian-style waffle or packed between two. The premise would merit an eye roll if the waffles weren’t so good — airy inside, firm outside and crispy around the edges. The satisfying sandwich filled with eggs, bacon and cheese ($5.75) has a feeling of fast-food novelty about it. The one covered in Nutella and powdered sugar ($6.45) will bring back memories of European vacations, especially if you add bananas. F.H.

Slipstream 1333 14th St. NW and 82 I St. SE; breakfast served 7 a.m.-3 p.m. weekdays, 8 a.m.-3 p.m. weekends.

Come nighttime, this sleek 14th Street cafe morphs into a bar with craft cocktails and light bites. During the day, it slings coffee and the area’s best — and most on-trend — rice bowl. The breakfast bowl ($7.50) looks like it just got off a plane from Los Angeles, artfully arranged with rice, greens, radish slices, a poached egg and, for a surcharge, avocado or bacon. The cafe’s also home to another trendy breakfast dish: fancy toast. Get it topped with smoked salmon, harissa hummus with chickpea salad and grapefruit, or avocado with goat cheese mousse ($6.50). H.S.

Best Buns

The breakfast sandwiches at this cheery Shirlington staple harness the best elements of a classic grilled cheese. The Willing-NoHam ($5.25) is the standout on an abbreviated menu of sandwiches and oatmeal that complements the fresh-baked breads, croissants, muffins, danishes and scones on display.

Buttery, warm Texas toast frames a perfectly fried egg (it still runs!) topped with crispy bacon and gooey American cheese. Pick up one of more than a dozen types of bread and rolls baked daily — poblano cheddar, anyone? — while you’re there. M.B.

Tuesdays-Saturdays, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Sundays.

Get in line at this Del Ray favorite for coffee from Swing’s and the sophisticated Southern fare. Breakfast includes chilaquiles ($10) with red and green salsas and a poached egg, and buttermilk biscuits served around sandwiches or with sausage gravy ($7). The fried chicken biscuit ordered in the Not So Classic style ($9) benefits from the bird’s crunchy crust, which holds up nicely to the za’atar, honey, hot sauce and benne seed tahini. G.H.

Pastrami isn’t just a lunchtime affair at Smoked and Stacked, the unpretentious sandwich joint from “Top Chef” alum Marjorie MeekBradley. The New Yorker ($8), a breakfast sandwich with pastrami, Comte cheese, sweet-and-spicy pepper jelly and an egg, is a glorious, squishy mess that cannot be contained within its soft milk-bread bun — as soon as you pick it up, you’re guaranteed to have yolk running down your fingers. Try one on a lazy day, because you might need a nap to recover. (And if you want something smaller, go for the $9 Cali Girl, a cured-salmon-and-avocado sandwich, or the $6 Wake Up, a basic bacon or sausage, egg and cheese.) M.J.

Rockin’ the year away If you’re one of those people who think New Year’s Eve is always a letdown, a concert might change your mind. Most musicians working the holiday play special, elongated sets. They might throw in an offbeat cover or two, maybe add horns.

And they’ll certainly do something cool at midnight. We asked four musicians with New Year’s Eve gigs about their plans for this year’s countdown, how they’ve celebrated in the past and what they think of the de facto New Year’s anthem, “Auld Lang Syne.” RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

Rock and Roll Hotel, 1353 H St. NE; Sun., 8 p.m., $85-$100.

District-based DJ Basscamp (real name: Zach Gorman) will anchor and curate the DJ lineup at the Rock and Roll Hotel’s two-floor New Year’s Eve Blowout, which includes an open bar. This is the fourth time in five years that Gorman, who has a regular residency at the club, is performing there on the holiday. “It’s one of those places that’s no-frills — you get exactly what you want,” he says. “They dress up the whole venue, it looks really cool; there’s lots of stuff you can do, photo booths and a big balloon drop on both floors.”

What to expect on New Year’s: Gorman doesn’t plan out his sets, but he does put together a list of a couple hundred songs to pull from, many of which he’ll remix or mash with other songs. “It’s lots of crowdpleasers, lots of throwback stuff, a lot of contemporary pop,” he says.

“I like to keep the window as open as possible because half of all of this is adapting to the audience. The one thing I will plan out is the last 15 minutes — really amplify that energy — because when New Year’s comes, people want that giant moment.”

New Year’s memories: “The first year that I did it, I brought a giant industrial CO2 canister from a bar I had been working at — the whole thing was so chaotic,” Gorman

says. “Right at midnight there was a bunch of people onstage popping champagne bottles, the balloons were coming down from the ceiling and I turned the CO2 canister upside down and opened it and it blasts out all the vapor. It comes out high pressure and it’s super loud but people just loved it. The whole room fills with that stuff — it’s super funny.”

Thoughts on “Auld Lang Syne”: “I haven’t heard that song played in real life, maybe ever,” Gorman says.

“Maybe I’ll find some trap remix of that. Maybe right at midnight I can build this huge electronic energy and have it cut out completely into a very 1920s, muted-trumpetwhiny, end-of-the-night gin-drunk rendition of it.”

weekendpass — and, one year in Chicago, Pope’s brother Ryan “did the worm all the way across the stage, which was very impressive at the time,” he says.

Spoon 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Sat., 8 p.m., Sun., 9 p.m., sold out.

Austin-bred indie rock band Spoon, which released experimental ninth album “Hot Thoughts” this year, closes out 2017 with a two-night stand at the 9:30 Club. Bassist Rob Pope, who co-founded The Get Up Kids in the ’90s and joined Spoon

a decade ago, is generally a fan of New Year’s, no matter how he spends it. “Ninety-five percent of the time, I have a really good time,” Pope says.

What to expect on New Year’s: Pope isn’t revealing his band’s plans for midnight, but past end-of-year Spoon shows have featured horn sections, balloon drops and confetti

New Year’s memories: In 2012, Pope proposed to his wife on New Year’s Eve at The Bourgeois Pig, the bar and coffee shop he co-owns with his brother in Lawrence, Kan. “That’s a great thing to have on New Year’s Eve, because then we just get to hang out in our favorite bar and literally run the place,” Pope says. He proposed at midnight and had told only a few friends of his plan. “It wound up making the midnight celebration even more special for every single person in that bar, whether they knew us or not.”

Thoughts on “Auld Lang Syne”: “I’m not offended by it,” Pope says.

“I like a good drinking song and I think it just turns into that, right?

People put their arms around each other and maybe sway in a really uncomfortable way and pretend like they know words to a song that they don’t know the words to. That sounds like what I would do if I had to sing that song at 12:01 a.m.”

PEACHES O’DELL AND HER ORCHESTRA

Peaches O’Dell

Black Cat, 1811 14th St. NW; Sun., 7 p.m., $30.

What to expect on New Year’s: O’Dell plays several sets throughout the night — lounge act Tony Anthony and His Malvivants hit the stage during breaks — and the evening will include a conga line (O’Dell’s favorite moment). She will give out little “keepsakes” to attendees throughout the night, and

Peaches O’Dell This marks the 24th year that Peaches O’Dell and Her Orchestra will headline the Black Cat’s New Year’s Eve Ball. O’Dell, who keeps her real name a secret, is a throwback to the swing era and preserves the music (and fashions) of the 1920s through the ’50s. “I did the math and estimate that, thus far, this band has seen some 23,000 people through New Year’s Eve at the Black Cat,” O’Dell says.

at one point an audience member will be picked to conduct a song.

“The music we play is 70 and even 80 years old, but we have lots of it,” she says. “Each year, we introduce a new song or two we’ve never done.”

over the decades. “From the stage, I’ve seen white tie and tails, light-up shoes, vintage wear from the 1930s, matching evening gloves and punk regalia,” she says. “It is, as they said 70 years ago, perfectly swell.”

New Year’s memories: “Back in days of yore, I would carefully set a watch to the correct time as dictated by the U.S. Navy’s Master Clock … just to make sure we were precisely on the mark,” she says. “Now we glance at a phone.” O’Dell is also fascinated by the outfits she’s seen

Thoughts on “Auld Lang Syne”: “It holds up beautifully,” O’Dell says. “As the clock strikes midnight, suddenly this endearing, enduring, soaring tune takes over. It gives the crowd a pause for a spell, to float on that moment and know that they made it to the new year.”

D.C.’s Thievery Corporation has never played New Year’s Eve in the city before, so it’s fitting that the group, co-founded by Eric Hilton, will be the first act to ring in a new year at The Anthem.

Earlier this year, the electronica and world music pioneers released the album “The Temple of I & I,” and a follow-up is already set for March.

What to expect on New Year’s: “We’re gonna play an extra-long, up-tempo set,” Hilton says, adding that the show will include a midnight countdown (complete with balloons, confetti and champagne) and special appearances from former members of the band. “We’re also going to debut two new songs on New Year’s” that will be included in the March release, “Treasures From the Temple.” Hilton says fans can also expect Anthem owner Seth Hurwitz to sit in on drums for a song.

New Year’s memories: Hilton once stole a cab on New Year’s Eve. After DJ’ing the New Year’s Eve party at the now-shuttered Fifth Column in 1988, he hailed a shared cab at 4 a.m. Another passenger seemed drunk and told the driver to go to Fairmont Street NW in Columbia Heights.

But the driver took her to Vermont Avenue NW by mistake. “He was upset, she was upset and we get to Fairmont and she won’t pay him and is cussing him out and everything,” Hilton says. “He gets out of the cab, gets a tire iron and chases her to her front door. It’s a kinda scary neighborhood at the time, and I just flipped out and I jumped into the front seat of the cab and drove it to 13th Street — I just wanted to get out of the situation and get to the main street.” The cabbie came running after his car and eventually got Hilton home safe.

Thoughts on “Auld Lang Syne”: “You will not be hearing that at The Anthem; we do not do a version of that,” Hilton says.

“That’s like an Irish pub kinda thing. In the right setting, I would go with it — I’d sing.”

The Roots are one of those bands that can (and probably will) tour forever. The group’s catalog, last updated in 2014 with the phenomenal album “… And Then You Shoot Your Cousin,” is a cross-genre experience that is as timeless as it is impressive, and rumors abound that 2018 will bring another release. Of course, fans can catch them every night as the house band for “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon,” but that hardly compares to the energy

Aztec Sun High-energy D.C. funk and soul band Aztec Sun celebrates five years as a group with a blowout show in Georgetown that also features local sax man Ron Holloway and his band. Aztec Sun, which released the poppy, New Orleans-style single “You Make Me Smile” this year, promises special guests during what is slated to be the group’s last gig of the year.

YEAR IN REVIEW

The best TV of 2017

While television offered more than enough escape from the anxieties of life in 2017, it also found plenty of contextual and thematic relevance to kick around — sometimes intentional, sometimes just coincidental. This year, especially in the era of peak TV, it has never been harder to narrow down a list of the best series. Here they are. HANK STEUVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

1

‘Twin Peaks: The Return’

(Showtime)

David Lynch (and co-creator Mark Frost) ran wild on Showtime for an 18-hour sequel to their groundbreaking yet befuddlingly complex 1990 series, and turned many skeptics into believers.

It’s a true triumph for TV — surprisingly linear in its serialized plot, yet mind-blowingly spot-on in its rumination on such subjects as evil, atomic weaponry and the very nature of existence. Years from now, museums will show it on a continuous loop.

2

‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ (Hulu)

This chilling adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s novel arrived with disturbing resonance in an American culture contending with baby-faced nationalists, presidential propaganda and threats to women’s rights. In any other head space, it would simply be a terrific TV show. In 2017, however, it was something more vital, as showrunner Bruce Miller and his writers seeded the story with added hints of a resistance afoot in Gilead, the theocratically fascist country once known as the United States.

3

‘The Vietnam War’ (PBS)

Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s 10-part docuseries took viewers back through the decades of diplomatic blunders that led to America’s misguided war in Vietnam. Aided by innovative approaches to music and tone, the filmmakers displayed their masterful melding of history and humanity, presenting the story in a factual and strikingly absorbing manner. Some quibbled with it but, in the era of “fake news,” it was reassuring to see a project so thoroughly devoted to sticking to the facts.

4

‘Big Little Lies’ (HBO)

With a touch of feminist resilience for viewers who can’t quite stomach “The Handmaid’s Tale,” this seven-episode series (which has been renewed for Season 2) features an unlikely assembly of heroines (played by Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern and Zoe Kravitz) who are swept up in a murder mystery (based on Liane Moriarty’s novel) that takes place in a welloff coastal community.

It’s a moody and addictive deep dive on relationships, class and envy.

5

An extravagant exercise in camp and cultural excavation, “Feud” is a plate of Fancy Feast for the cattiest among us, aided by knockout performances from Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon as Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, who endure one another during the filming of their 1962 sleeper hit “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” It wasn’t only about spats and hisses — “Feud” skillfully elicited viewers’ sympathy and a bit of outrage at how Hollywood mistreats its most talented women.

The next five: 6. “Insecure” (HBO) 7. “Better Things” (FX) 8. “GLOW” (Netflix) 9. “The Young Pope” (HBO) 10. “Godless” (Netflix) Pitbull joins Univision’s live New Year’s Eve special “¡Feliz 2018!” after parting from Fox’s telecast

‘Feud: Bette and Joan’ (FX)

Real-life moms fret on set of ‘Black Mirror’ STREAMING Actress and filmmaker Jodie Foster faced a challenge when tasked with depicting a complex mother-daughter dynamic for an episode of Netflix’s “Black Mirror,” which taps into our collective unease with the modern world. As a mother of two boys, Foster had to find a way to tap into the push and pull of a mother-daughter relationship — so she reached back to how she interacted with her own mom.

“When you’re raising a man, you’re just so in awe at how different they are,” Foster says.

“Not just the physical ways, but how they think. It’s very easy to understand that they are separate from you. It’s not so easy, I think, with female children.”

The episode, titled “ArkAngel,” part of the anthology series’ fourth season (out Friday), puts Foster behind the camera to tell the story of a mother so anxious that she turns to a surveillance tool. Rosemarie DeWitt, above, is the mother wrestling with the implications of eavesdropping on her daughter. DeWitt, a mom of two young girls, laughs about a “gentle tension” between herself and Foster on set.

“I sometimes felt Jodie was really rooting for the daughter and I was really rooting for myself. So we had this combustible thing,” she says.

“It’s a really sticky relationship — mothers and daughters.”

trending “It’s not a family event until at least one relative makes a comment about your ripped jeans.” @BROOKEOGORMAAN, taking part in a popular line of commentary on Twitter during the holidays — family members griping over ripped jeans. @Jasminethejuker tweeted that her grandma asked her, “Can your parents not afford jeans that aren’t ripped?” And @lea_nicolecole covered all the major things relatives have to say on the issue: “ ‘Oh honey did a bear attack your jeans?’ ‘Were those 50 percent off since it’s half the material?’ ‘Back in my day, ripped jeans were blah blah blah,’ “ she tweeted.

The library said in a recent white paper that it archived the first 12 years of public tweets, but the nature of Twitter has changed.

“Six young white people holding glasses of champagne would like Hillary Clinton to abandon her life’s work and platform and just shut up.” @SUMMERBRENNAN, summing up a Vanity Fair video suggesting New Year’s resolutions for Hillary Clinton, including that she put away her “James Comey voodoo doll” and take up knitting. After backlash, Vanity Fair apologized for the video.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend were aboard a Tokyobound All Nippon Airways flight that had to return to Los Angeles four hours into the journey after the crew discovered that one of its passengers had boarded the wrong plane.
