"Washington Scene"

Board game -- or just plain boring? Here's a crazy monopology-like way to remember bygone D.C. and experience all the thrills and laughter of a piece of legislation argued on the senate floor, or a super-garlicky salad at old Sans Souci. Woodward & Lothrop is still in business -- and good old Garfinckels. Land on The Washington Post and buy it for $100,000. Hey, it might still be worth that.  

DISHES FROM MEXICO

Gorgeous, not entirely practical, these nesting terracotta casseroles bring to mind the sound of marimba bands and smell of cheap leather goods. Welcome to Tijuana. The donkey show begins in tres minutos.
