Old Town Alexandria in Virginia is an easy Metro ride from D.C. The King St. stop leads straight to great restaurants and boutiques, like Bluprint Chocolatier, which handmakes bonbons perfect for Valentine’s Day. wheretraveler.com/ seizethestay.

ucky for us, last month’s apocalyptic-sounding “Bomb Cyclone” spared the nation’s capital, leaving just frigid temperatures and a few inches of snow on its way to hammer the Northeast. But it is February after all, and that means winter continues.

Lucky for you, despite the cold weather, hot diversions abound. One D.C. favorite is to seek out good drinks and company, and this city has both in spades. Imbibers need only belly up to the bar (or turn to page 14) to learn all about how the city is fostering new trends in mixology. With popups and watering holes channeling pop culture themes (“Game of Thrones” bar anyone?), it’s no wonder District establishments are going viral on your social media feeds.

Speaking of social media, we’re getting ready to click “like” for Shakespeare Theatre Company’s newest production of “Hamlet.” Not only is Artistic Director Michael Kahn’s version set in modern times, it also stars Michael Urie, best-known for his popular portrayal of Marc St. James, the sassy assistant to Vanessa Williams’s ferocious villain, Wilhelmina Slater, in ABC’s critically acclaimed “Ugly Betty.” No stranger to D.C., the fun-loving actor fi lls us in on his new role and what he loves about the capital (page 16).

There’s so much more to love in February, from luxe accessories to combat the chill to cool venues for catching the latest bands, and a guide to Chinatown with our picks on where to eat, drink, shop and play. So bundle up, and happy exploring!

“TO BE OR NOT TO BE...” Michael

Urie, well-known for his role on network television’s “Ugly Betty,” speaks those famous words as Hamlet, directed by the brilliant (and Urie’s former Juilliard teacher) Michael Kahn. Urie is sure to deliver a stellar performance in one of the Bard’s most powerful works at Shakespeare Theatre Company, where Kahn and team have a gift for making classical theater resonate with today’s audiences.

“Peacock Room” In 1876, James McNeill Whistler redesigned Frederick Leyland’s dining room creating a “harmony in blue and gold” to highlight the shipping magnate’s collection of blue and white Chinese porcelains. Sadly, Leyland didn’t dig the new look and promptly fired Whistler. Installed at the Freer Gallery of Art since 1923, the “Peacock Room” now forms an artistic bridge between the Smithsonian site’s Eastern and Western art collections.

World of Bar Craft

D.C. mixologists take their creations on a journey to new heights.

By Jennifer Barger

“Dracarys” from the “Game of Thrones" pop-up bar

ABSINTHEGREEN STREET LIGHT filters through the marbled stained glass behind the bar at Brothers and Sisters (1770 Euclid St. NW), the new restaurant/cocktail lounge at Adams Morgan’s The Line Hotel. Since the new hostelry and dining destination fills a restored 1912 church, it seems fitting that celebrated local mixologist Todd Thrasher has summoned a drinks program that’s one part hymn to historic highballs and two parts innovation. “I wanted things both for geeky cocktail people and stuff that tourists from Nebraska might recognize,” says Thrasher.

(FROM TOP) ©TODD THRASHER/BROTHERS AND SISTERS; ©FARRAH SKEIKY (THIS PAGE AND OPPOSITE); ©KEN WYNER

LIQUID ASSETS Perched on a clubby green leather bar stool in the high-ceilinged space, Thrasher chats about a drinks menu that reads like a lively history/recipe book: an Old Forrester bourbon mint julep comes with an explanation of the concoction’s Washington, D.C., debut at the still-running Round Robin Bar at the Willard InterContinental Hotel. But those spirits savants can also try an “I’m Hip and Very Bitter” made with Virginia Fizz bubbles, locally produced amaro, gin and grapefruit juice.

Brothers and Sisters is the freshest sign that in recent years, Washington—always a zone of dimly lit hotel watering holes and Capitol Hill beer dives—has morphed into one of the country’s buzziest mixology towns. Think an intoxicating blend of local distilleries and sophisticated lounges that give booze-mad London or New York City a rocks-glass run for their money.

“I don’t think there’s a better place to drink in the world,” says Derek Brown, the impresario behind bars including Shaw’s James Beard Award-nominated Columbia Room (124 Blagden Alley NW). “You have pop-up bars, really creative cocktail spots and places that specialize in mezcal, cider and more.”

Brown’s esteemed Columbia Room emphasizes a local trend in cocktail crafting, using eclectic “grass-to-glass” ingredients to whip up house-made tinctures and unusual potions. Take a fig-leaf cordial that gets blended with azul blanco, vermouth, curacao and anise hyssop for a subtly sweet “What Absence Is Made Of,” the first cocktail in Columbia Room’s winter three-course drinks-and-snacks pairing menu.

That blurring between dinner and drinks ingredients also headlines at 2 Birds 1 Stone (1800 14th St. NW, lower level), a bright, semi-secret lair for in-

novative sips like the “El Cazador” (sherry, Campari, plus local cacao nibs, thyme and honey) and a daily punch. And at Barmini (501 9th St. NW), James Beard Awardwinning chef Josè Andrès’ “cocktail lab,” futuristic white counters, vintage glassware and whimsical furniture (a “cactus” couch) set the scene for innovative gulps like the “Floral Cloud,” a rose- and hibiscus-scented drink that wafts sweet smoke at you before you down it.

“They have so many toys to play with at Barmini,” says Stephen Corrigan of D.C.’s One Eight Distilling (1135 Okie St. NE), one of multiple newish spirits makers thriving in Northeast D.C. neighborhoods like Ivy City. Like many local distillers, One Eight offers mixed drinks in its tasting room, using the maker’s own made-here gin, vodka and whiskey.

But cocktails aren’t just serious business in D.C.; thanks to a bustling pop-up bar scene and a fair share of dives (hey, Senate interns need to get drunk somewhere!), nightcaps or happy hours can also be casual, rollicking affairs.

Brown’s Drink Company also runs seasonal pop-up drinking holes, which have included last summer’s lines-out-the-door “Game of Thrones” one with a smokespewing dragon and highballs inspired by show characters. And a slew of “yep, come in yoga pants” joints have recently opened, like low-key Left Door (1345 S St. NW) with its often-tequila-powered mixtures like the “Release the Kraken” (tequila, honey, lemon) and Service Bar (928 U St. NW), a campy Shaw hang for $7 happy-hour cocktails and a fried chickenheavy bar-bite menu.

“There’s just a lot of whimsy and fun in the local cocktail scene,” says Brown.

“I think we’ll see that blow up in spades in 2018.”

We’ll drink to that.

With “Hamlet,” actor Michael Urie takes on Shakespeare’s most iconic role and his former drama teacher.

Interview & text by Anne Kim-Dannibale 16

WHE RE I F E B R U A R Y 201 8

AUDIENCES MAY REMEMBER Michael Urie best as Marc St. James, the sassy assistant to Vanessa Williams’s tough-as-nails Wilhelmina Slater on TV’s critically acclaimed “Ugly Betty.” But this seasoned thespian is also a familiar face to theatergoers.

This month, Urie reunites with his former Juilliard drama professor, Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Michael Kahn, who directs a modern production of “Hamlet” in a setting that feels eerily familiar. In between rehearsals, the Texas native took a moment to answer a few questions about the play,

his appreciation for the capital, and what’s next for him.

Where Magazine: Many of your recent roles have been comedic. Why Hamlet, and why now?

Michael Urie: Because it’s Hamlet and Michael Kahn! I’ve wanted to play this role since I knew about it and have wanted to work with Michael since I was his student.

That it’s happening at the Shakespeare Theatre Company is my perfect storm. No other job I’ve had since graduating Juilliard will call on as many of the skills I learned under

Michael and his faculty. It’s been a thrill to utilize so much of their fantastic training.

WM: How would you describe your version of this character?

MU: Hamlet thinks quickly and changes dramatically before our eyes. My approach has been to play each moment as clearly and spontaneously as possible. The language is thrilling and the stakes are life or death. I want to make each turn in Hamlet’s brain and heart crystal clear to the audience. I had a few big ideas about the role before we started, and of course Michael had them, too. I’d guess I’ve thrown out 90 percent of mine. Michael threw out some of his, too, though fewer. The best stuff is what we’ve found in rehearsal.

WM: How does playing Hamlet in D.C. affect your perspective of this character?

MU: The politics are thrilling, and Michael’s production highlights them in a very cool way. Denmark is under a new leader, who has changed the way things are run. Now, surveillance is everywhere, and no one can be trusted. In our version, set in a modern world, it manifests as security cameras, iPhones, wearing wires. Naturally, this town is familiar with that kind of drama.

WM: What was it like to work with your former teacher?

MU: It’s like having a historian, a dictionary and a psychiatrist in the room at once.

He’s tireless and collaborative.

WM: At Juilliard, you and classmate Jessica Chastain did a scene from “Hamlet” for Michael. Outside of class, you left love notes for Jessica, which she used in the scene. Did you have any similar creative moments here?

MU: Keith Baxter, the wonderful actor who plays the ghost of Hamlet’s father, had the idea to wear something that looks like what he might have [died in].

After Hamlet sees the ghost, I wanted to reappear wearing something that looked like it might have belonged to his father.

Michael had the brilliant idea to put a seal of the late King Hamlet on both garments—while the new king’s new seal is showing up all over the place.

WM: Many actors view Hamlet as the ultimate role. Do you agree? What other

dream role would you like to take on?

MU: After this, I’m retiring. Just kidding!

This certainly has always been a dream role for me. I’d like to be in any Tennessee Williams play, and there’s so much more Shakespeare I want to tackle (“Much Ado,” “Richard II” and “Richard III”). And I’d so love another regular gig on a cool TV show.

WM: Which do you prefer, TV or theater?

MU: Hard to say, they’re both amazing.

Every role is a new and different set of challenges and rewards. And even though acting on stage versus for the camera utilizes different skills, it’s all about the role.

Playing a character like Marc, who grows and changes over the course of years, is constantly stimulating and joyous. Having an audience sitting in the same room, though, there’s nothing quite like that.

WM: What’s next for you in your career?

MU: I’ve got a couple of gigs coming up, which I’ll be very excited to share when I’m allowed to!

WM: What do you like about D.C.?

MU: The audiences here are the greatest—smart, lively and very much want to be at the theater.

WM: When you have the time, what’s your favorite way to explore the city?

MU: I’ve been absolutely loving the Capital Bikeshare. What a perfect way to see this gorgeous, intimate town.

WM: Favorite place in the world to visit?

MU: I’ve been dreaming about Palm Springs… So warm…

WM: If you could wake up anywhere tomorrow, where would you be?

MU: See last answer.

At Beefsteak, my favorite bowl is the Kimchi-wa, which has rice, sweet potatoes,

carrots, cabbage, edamame and bok choy with kimchi and soy-ginger dressing. It keeps me coming back for more!

Sweetgreen The first location is two blocks from my office—perfect for when I crave Spicy Sabzi. I also try all the seasonal flavors when

they come out.

The Hilltop Bar & Restaurant This spot offers a Scramble Bowl inspired by its new brunch mistress, Lia Seremetis, a Greek who hails from California. I call it Greekifornia.
