Alfreda. Dupont’s Alfreda, a tribute to the chef’s grandmother, offers relaxed pizza and traditional Italian eats. The happy hour runs Monday-Friday p.m., featuring $8 spritzes and BOGO pizzas. Few do spritzes appreciate the Italians, and Alfreda leans in on five kinds plus one N/A spritz; our go-to is the rose and mezcal with grapefruit or the locally made Don Ciccio limoncello spritz with basil.

Lyle’s. Especially leaning into the spritz side of summer is at Lyle’s, fully embracing the fizzy ephemera of the season with the Summer of Spritz. The Dupont Circle hotel restaurant imagines cocktails from France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. Spritzes feature limoncello and vinho verde. For those that hit Lyle’s every week dur

Films about LGBT people are getting seen more widely than ever, with dozens of DVD and VOD releases making gay content available to everyone. Fantastically, a lot of these made it into cinemas across the UK, with films such as Celebration and The Imitation Game even enjoying residencies in multiplexes. It was a great year for gay men on the big screen.

Let's start with a feature that isn't gay at all: Daniel Patrick Carbone's Hide Your Smiling Faces. This movie is a kind of old-school David Gordon Green picture &#; semi-rural life with kids trying to figure out who they are.
