.@amandajfinnegan had a dream to report on all the great pizza in the land, and ground it in data. We did that @washingtonpost -- and so much more- -- with the help of our friends @andrewvandam @dylanmoriarty (thread)

Look at this, a team effort between a Wash Post foreign correspondent and a sportswriter — both representing sections about to be gutted by @JeffBezos.
It's about a Milanese revolt against ICE's presence at the Olympics.

Love this project from a team of us on America's 10 best college football towns. (I went to South Bend, campus of GOLD.)
Apologies in advance for what @Gabecito got wrong.

Let us have it!

A bunch of @PostSports reporters teamed up with our friends from Travel to go and write about the 10 best college football towns in America. (a fantastic idea from @Gabecito). I'm sure there will be no disagreements and everyone will agree on this list.

Sorry to break it to everyone, but I went to DCA tonight and people are still taking their shoes off at the security checkpoints.

Japan is proud of its “omotenashi” spirit: Its practice of wholeheartedly caring and catering for guests. But a post-covid surge in tourist numbers is pushing Japan’s world-famous hospitality to the brink. By @juliaminuma:

I traveled with @SecretaryPete and talked airplane pet peeves, seat preference, policy and our common experience of flying with small kids. Also got to put a super cool dateline on the story. wapo.st/3yp2Mso

If you visit the Mall today, you’ll view the sun through solar telescopes and sunspot devices. You’ll also acquire a lot of swag: NASA-branded solar glasses, pinhole projectors, a set of postcards showing eclipses on other planets, stickers showing the phases of the eclipse …

Kevin Hart is receiving the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, which begs the question: Is Kevin Hart funny?
I went to Charleston to find out.

Everyone I’ve taken to @cafeunido seems to echo my reaction: This is way better food than you’d expect from a coffee shop.

It was also apparent over time that top station leadership just didn't know much about what their newsroom did. At one meeting, we asked Erika point blank what content of ours she liked best. She basically had no answer.

Hi. I’m one of the @DCist @wamu885 reporters laid off. I’m deeply saddened to no longer cover the immigrant communities who make D.C. & our region so special. I’m beyond proud of the reporting I’ve done on air and our website since starting this beat from scratch 2 years ago ❤️

This is a true loss to our community.
Well-informed residents are essential to democracy, and good government is harder to accomplish without rigorous public examination and discussion of what we do. The absence of @dcist will be heartfelt by all of us.

I'm back with another Casual Dining column in @washingtonpost. The oxtail jollor rice, red red and groundnut soup at Hedzole made for some of the most comforting meals I've had all winter. REVIEW: washingtonpost.com/food/2024…

This just in from @2fiftybbq: The owners have received their final permit for the Mount Vernon Triangle location. They’re set to open Sat., Jan. 13, at 414 K St. NW. The new spot will serve meat-market style, like in Texas. Also look for pulled lamb and a whole hog sandwich.
