After a long day of grinding away on our Torts outline, Team Hypo decided to go out for a little R&R last night. Master of Ceremonies Sally Proust selected a new wine bar – Vinoteca – located on U Street. D.C. has experienced a proliferation of wine bars as of late, and Sally and Pakistani Princess have made it their mission in life to try them all.

Being an evening law student (assuming you have a full time job) in a constant balancing act. I like to say that I’ve got three points of performance; my job, my marriage, and school. So between not getting fired, keeping Goody Bombay from killing me, and not failing Property, I’ve got my work cut out for me. This also leaves precious little time for fun, which means you have to make the most of it.
That’s why we’ve decided to roll out the new Fight the Hypo Food Column:Getting Served. Aspirant gastronomes Sally Proust and Pakistani Princess will be regular contributors, as they are young, hip women about town. The Sherpa and I will pitch in from time to time to give the older, un-hip, suburban guy impression of things. Overall, our goal is to help you, the law student on the go, maximize your fun time.
Our rating system is as follows:
1 Tortfeasor – Poor. You’ve got a cause of action against the restaurant for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress.
2 Tortfeasors – Good. Will sustain you through Property, but not well.
3 Tortfeasors – Excellent. Enough to make offer the wait staff free legal advice.
4 Tortfeasors – A transformative experience. You have a cause of action against the restaurant for acts of deliciousness and intentional infliction of bliss.
So enjoy dinner, and then get back to your Torts outline. Because the other guy is right on your heels.
