It's that time of the year again: the flowers are blooming, the weather is getting nicer, teachers are getting frustrated by a lack of attendance in their classrooms, and the…

In a society filled with numerous fast food options, suspect taco meat, and preservative overload, it would be nice to have some fresh, organic options. Fortunately, you don’t have to travel far to achieve organic bliss. Situated on the edge of Hampden is Woodberry Kitchen, a restaurant that prides itself on featuring the best from local farmers and placing emphasis on organic meat and sustainable agriculture. Woodberry’s goal is outlined on their website, as the decidedly made it their priority to “nourish and delight our guests with cooking grounded in the traditions and ingredients of the Chesapeake region.”

Named one of the Top 10 Restaurants in America by Bon Appetit, Woodberry Kitchen has a wide menu with some interesting options, including Oysters on the Half Shell, Roasted Mushroom Flatbread, and Braised Liberty Delight Beef Brisket.

Baltimore’s own Vagabond Players recently announced their upcoming production of John Guare’s mind-blowing play “Six Degrees of Separation.” The play opened last week on the 15th, but will be running for the rest of the month and up to May 15th. Guare’s “Six Degrees of Separation” is a personal favorite of mine, and explores the relationship between chaos and control deep within the human heart. The play is set in the crime-ridden streets of the Reaganomic New York City, and provocatively challenges the barriers of race, class, and that which is considered socially acceptable. This one is an absolute must see.

The Loyola University Maryland women’s lacrosse team has won twelve straight games to mark a perfect season thus far.  The Greyhounds have a perfect record (4-0) in the Big East Conference as well.  Seniors Grace Gavin and Mary Heneberry have led the team with scoring in the past two games.  Gavin tallied her 200th career goal against Villanova, becoming the third player in Loyola University women’s lacrosse history to accomplish this task.  Loyola’s 12-0 start is its best since the 2003 Final Four team.  That team ended the regular season ranked No. 1 and  the 12-game winning streak is also the longest since the 2003 team won 14 in a row.

School days are dwindling down, the temperature is steadily rising, and to reflect this, our list takes on a more summery approach! So, perhaps while you’re out tanning, put on The Strokes’ awesome new record or their single “Under Cover of Darkness.” Or, maybe while exercising out in the hot weather, listen to The Dodos’ No Color? And after that’s all done, relax in the air conditioning with Low’s (as seen up top) slow-paced slowcore album C’Mon.
