"Say hello to The Cajun Experience, now soft-open just north of Dupont to add another stop on your winter rotation of spicy, rib-sticking food.

This is the kind of place where guys named Thibodeaux would wait out the winter (if, in fact, they had a winter). You’ll descend a few steps to a small, yellow bar. Your best move: arrive here during mid-afternoon (happy hour is 11am to 7pm every day) and get started on sampling the full lineup of Abita beers or classic NOLA cocktails like Hurricanes and Sazeracs.

Then make your way into the brick-lined dining room, bedecked with not much more than Tabasco bottles and LSU memorabilia. The owner’s mother was chef to two Louisiana governors, so things remain pretty traditional (10 kinds of po’boys on NOLA’s own Leidenheimer bread, redfish delivered from the Gulf).

But you’ll want to branch out a bit, if only for the Crawfish Mac & Cheese, served spicy with a whole cupboard of Cajun spices." Courtesy of Urban Daddy DC.....

Exchange Your Ways, January 22, 2011

"Sponsored by Quarter Life and Nana"

Celebrate sustainable style and the first-ever National #Swap Day by joining us for a swap and a sneak peek at Nana's new space in Mt. Pleasant. 

Saturday, January 22
at Nana

3068 Mt. Pleasant St. NW
Washington D.C.

Drop it off:
11 a.m. to noon

Swap!
1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Resolve to say out with the old and in with the new in 2011 as we swap women's clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories. 

Save money, be green, shop and support a good cause!
Everything left over at the end of the swap will be donated to

HOW THE SWAP WORKS

1. Buy your ticket online.

Entrance to the swap is $10 with a bag of stuff to swap.
A "bag" can be anywhere from a handful to a closetful of items, totally depends on your urge to purge, and it all ends up working out in the wash.

2. Show up at the swap (with your bag of stuff)
between 11 a.m. and noon on Saturday January 22.

We'll check you off the roster and take your bag of items to be sorted into our "Pop-Up Swap" store. Bring an extra reuseable shopping bag to haul your new finds home.

3. Go explore the neighborhood.

Check out Nana's new neighbors or grab lunch in nearby Columbia Heights. Dos Gringos is offering $1 cups of coffee to swappers, and we'll be passing out coupons for a discount at Haydee's.
(Psst—if you're interested in offering a swap day discount at your store or eatery, please get in touch!)

4. Start your swapping engines at 1 p.m. SHARP.

The good stuff goes fast, but there's plenty to go around! Entrance to the swap starts at 1 p.m.
No pushing, no grabbing, no rude or greedy behavior. Swapping is all about sharing, so play nice
