Parts & Labor Now The Partisan; First Lady Visits Subway

FALLS CHURCH— These are pretty cool. Sea Pearl has some new decorations courtesy of local artist Alison Sigethy. They're bubbling glass tubes with ocean items inside. Northern Virginia Magazine has more. [NVM]

OBAMA ENDORSED— First Lady Michelle Obama went to Subway. Gasps ensued. [GoG]

PENN QUARTER— The Neighborhood Restaurant Group will change the name of its butchery-driven restaurant from Parts & Labor to The Partisan. This is because Woodberry Kitchen's Spike Gjerde is also opening up a butcher shop and restaurant named, you guessed it, Parts & Labor. [WCP]

MULTIPLE LOCATIONS— Half-smokes: they're not just at Ben's anymore. Thrillist rounds up some favorites from places like Weenie Beenie and The Passenger. [Thrillist]
