If your New Year’s resolution involved the word “detox,” digital or otherwise, we don’t blame you. Already fallen off the wagon and in full-on “retox” mode? We’re still cool. Instead of side-eye or shade, we’re throwing you something totally different: a guide to powering down, turning up, and discovering your newest, best self in the North End of Shaw.

A milestone on the passage from IKEA to adulthood, West Elm (1728 14th Street NW; 202.986.2165) has finally opened a second D.C. location on 14th Street. The two-level décor mecca offers contemporary furnishings and accessories (some from local makers), plus design services and in-store crafting events — some assembly required.

Hunting for the perfect gift? Look no further than the new Salt & Sundry (1401 S Street NW; 202.621.6647). Like its sister shop at Union Market, the Logan Circle spot offers a curated array of home décor, barware, personal items, and edibles for a well-stocked home. With regular visits, you’ll find yourself in the giving mood more often.

WHAT’S HAPPENING?

D/CITY EATS

Beau Thai (1550 7th Street NW; 202.536.5636) debuts a second location with an expansive dining area, full bar, outdoor patio, dedicated takeout counter, and weekend brunch. Fortunately, that growth spurt hasn’t diluted the authentic flavors; instead, you’ll find numerous new dishes on the menu, like whole flounder, steamed sea bass, larb ped, and noodles with a heady Sriracha kick.

At the start of each new year, we commit ourselves to the same impossible task: hone our personal style, pare down to just the basics, and purge, purge, purge until our closet is Coveteur-worthy. This year, instead of setting ourselves up to #fashionfail, we’re setting our sights on attainable outfits — flip through for the photo play-by-play.Get your fashion fix & more

I S S U E N o . 7

By early spring, the ambitious sartorial resolutions we set back in January tend to have crumbled under the weight of cold weather, office dress codes, and the comforting habit of wearing all black, all the time. But you — and your closet — deserve better. Take a cue from these style mavens and hit the reset button with color, texture, and layers. Here’s to getting back on track!

RESOLUTION REVOLUTIONSticking to a New Year’s resolution is an exercise in self-control — but who’s to say that falling off the wagon has to be a bad thing? If you’re going to abandon your mission, we recommend making better “bad choices.” To help, we’ve collected

some indulgent recipes from local hotspots. As for staying on the straight and narrow? There’s always next year.

Panna Cotta Ingredients Brittle Ingredients Garnish 1 c sugar 1 c sugar 1 banana1 tbsp gelatin ½ c corn syrup sugar1 c milk ¼ c water chocolate sauce3 ½ c cream ½ c cooked, chopped bacon whipped creamsalt ½ c roasted peanutslemon juice 2 tbsp softened butter 1 tbsp baking soda

To make the panna cotta, caramelize sugar over medium heat until dark brown. In a separate bowl, sprinkle gelatin into milk and let soften. When sugar is caramelized, carefully pour in cream; stir to dissolve. Heat milk over low heat to dissolve gelatin; when heated, stir the milk into the cream mixture. Add a pinch of salt and lemon juice to taste; pour into eight 5-ounce cups and refrigerate 4 hours until set.

To make the brittle, heat sugar, corn syrup, and water to 300 degrees. Stir in cooked, chopped bacon, roasted peanuts, softened butter, and baking soda. Spread on a silicone mat or on a baking tray brushed with vegetable oil and let harden.

For garnish, slice a banana; sprinkle slices with sugar and brûlée under a broiler. To serve, top the panna cotta with chocolate sauce (Bothen recommends Hershey’s Special Dark), whipped cream, brûléed banana slices, and chunks of peanut brittle.

Switchel Ingredients Cocktail Ingredients Garnish4 ¼ c water ice lemon peel1 ¾ c apple cider vinegar 1 oz Cruzan Blackstrap rum candied ginger1 ¼ c maple syrup 2 oz switchel2 tbsp fresh ginger soda water

To make the switchel, combine water, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped. Mix all ingredients in a container and cover; let sit for at least one day and strain before using.

To make the cocktail, add ice to a large rocks or highball glass. Pour in Cruzan Blackstrap rum and switchel; top with soda water or sparkling water. Garnish with lemon peel and candied ginger.

Note: The ratios of this cocktail are to taste; more rum will bring out molasses notes, while more switchel will increase the acidity.

STRETCH RELIEFSpending eight-plus hours at a desk can leave you feeling tightly wound, with tense muscles and a solid case of mental fatigue. But you don’t have to finish your day with enough knots, kinks, and cramps to warrant a two-hour massage — instead, use our handy guide to

stretches and simple exercises you can do at your desk. Now that's what we call flex time.

TEAMBUILDING TWIST

Sit near the edge of your chair; keep your back straight and imagine the top of your head lifting up toward the ceiling. Inhale and twist your upper body and midsection to the left, reaching your right arm across your body to grip the back of the chair. Let your left arm relax. Breathe deeply and relax your back muscles; deepen the twist if you can. Hold for 10 deep breaths; repeat on the other side.

THE CORPORATE CLIMBER

Stand facing the side of a sturdy stationary chair. Place your right foot flat on the seat of the chair and walk your left foot back so that you're in a lunge position. Keeping your chest upright, bend your left knee to lower it toward the ground. Gently push your hips forward and feel the stretch in your left hip. Hold for 10 deep breaths and repeat on the other side.

OPEN OFFICE, OPEN CHEST

Sit near the edge of your chair and interlace your fingers behind you, with your palms facing your back. Lean forward until you can lift your arms and rest them on the back of the chair. (If you can't reach the top of the chair, just grip the sides of the chair back.) Inhale into the stretch; exhale as you relax your shoulders. Hold for 10 deep breaths.

THE EPIC WRIST RELEASE

Stand with both palms placed flat in front of you on a flat surface, such as your desk or a table. Now inverse your hands so that your fingertips are pointing toward you; your thumbs should be facing out and pinkies facing in. Keep your palms in contact with the surface and spread your fingers wide to stretch keyboard-tense muscles. Hold for 10 deep breaths.

THE GLUTE REBOOT

Sit near the edge of your chair; lift your right leg and cross it over the left so that your right ankle is resting on top of your left knee. Sit tall and straight, feeling the stretch in your right glute and hip. Hold for 10 deep breaths and repeat on the other side.

EATING WHAT I WANT. CALL IT A

DETOXVS

RETOX ...

“In terms of alcohol, etc, I’m currently ‘detox.’ After a while, the clarity really grows on me — waking up feeling rested and getting stuff done just feels...good. As far as nutrition, I’m kind of ‘retox.’ Eighty-five percent of my food intake is sourced from cheap GrubHub deliveries while working from my studio. (Shout-out to Manny & Olga’s for their late-night delivery service.)”

SKYLER JAVIER, DESIGNER AT NATIVEDANGER

“I like to think that I’m ‘detox’ and have survived the holidays in a healthy place, but we both know I like wine too much. The

gym is calling and I’ll obey... after this pizza.”

HOLLY GARNER, MUSEUM PROFESSIONAL

& CAT HERDER

Does falling off the detox wagon count if it’s more of an effortless roll onto a stack of

delicious cheeseburgers? TOTALLY hypothetical question.

MATHEW RAMSEY, FOUNDER OF PORNBURGER.ME &

SELF-PROCLAIMED FOOD PORNOGRAPHER

Neither! I cringe when I hear the words ‘detox,’ ‘cleanse,’ etc. I prefer the old adage ‘everything in moderation, including

moderation.’

The newest buildings shaping the skyline in the North End of Shaw are the

residential properties at Atlantic Plumbing and 2030 8th Street, both of which bear the signature architectural flourishes of New York-based architect Morris Adjmi. Known for Brooklyn’s Wythe Hotel and the 837 Washington building near the

High Line, Adjmi brings a deep reverence for history and neighborhood identity to

his work. We caught up with him to discuss his creative process and what makes his

new D.C. projects so exciting.

Q: Can you talk a bit about your process as you approach a historic area with new construction?

A: Typically we begin our design process by looking at the project’s neighborhood and history. Our designs aim to be compatible with the area’s historic fabric and character, but not by copying the past. The buildings reinterpret historic, architectural language in a form relevant to contemporary needs and technologies.

Q: How do these buildings fit the ideal of modern living?A: Because there are a lot of different lifestyles in a city, we

designed a range of apartment types — some bedrooms are inboard, some have lots of windows. The gardens on the roof can be used to grow vegetables and herbs; there’s also a cinema screening room and a fitness center. There is a good package of amenities, so the buildings can accommodate a lot of different types of living.

Q: How is Atlantic Plumbing different from your other projects to date?

A: The project was very different, besides just being our first in Washington D.C. To begin, the neighborhood around Atlantic Plumbing has historic elements, but it is not technically in a historic district. In some ways, this allowed more freedom than we usually encounter working with historic sites that are in landmarked districts. As a result, we had more liberty with the design language for the new buildings.

Another new experience was designing two buildings that are across the street from each other. Our goal was to create a dialogue between the two buildings, and between the buildings and the neighborhood. We did that with an industrial aesthetic for each building that acknowledges the area’s history. On the larger building, we have the large x-bracing, which is a structural element but it also gives the building a sense of scale. On the smaller building, there’s the brick pattern, which breaks up the slick, glass-cube look and references all the brick buildings in the area. We wanted each building to have a strong identity, but also fit within the neighborhood.

Q: What kind of role do you think the development will play in the evolution of the neighborhood?

A: The neighborhood is in the midst of a transition. A number of surrounding sites will be developed in the coming years, including another phase of the Atlantic Plumbing project that we are currently working on. AP’s introduction of new retail and residences to the area will serve as a backdrop for this anticipated change. Additionally, the subsidized artist workspace on site will hopefully stimulate new creative activities and encourage more visitors to the area.

The next phase of the project includes a semi-private street that will provide a new outdoor gathering space for the neighborhood. We hope that all of these programs at AP will act as a catalyst for change — like the Wythe Hotel was in Williamsburg or the Theory Building was in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District — to bring new energy to the neighborhood.

Q: What do you hope tenants will appreciate/enjoy most about living at Atlantic Plumbing?

A: Both buildings have the advantage of enormous windows without the ‘glass box’ aesthetic that normally accompanies buildings with this much glazing. Residents will hopefully enjoy the tremendous amount of natural light within the apartments, as well as the distinctive design of the buildings’ exteriors.

The buildings also have generous amenity spaces, including the planted roof deck gardens. These outdoor spaces are unique to what is typically available in D.C. apartment buildings and include amazing views of the city.
