This Week in Jobs: Cuffing Season Edition

Editor’s note: Every week we ship an email newsletter featuring the region’s most exciting career opportunities. We’ve lovingly called it This Week in Jobs (aka TWIJ — “twidge.”). Below is this week’s edition. Here’s the last one we published; it’s meant to live in your inbox. Sign up for the newsletter here.

Dumping Grounds

Best restaurants, best books — and now — the best places to dump your significant other, just before the holidays!

We may be a few weeks into cuffing season, but if things aren’t going the way you’d hoped, The Washington Post published its guide to the best places to tell your S/O “it’s not you, it’s me” in D.C. Democracy may die in darkness, but a whole bunch of relationships are about to die at these four spots around the nation’s capital. So the next time your partner suggests meeting up at The Royal, The Brixton, Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park or (really?) Cava, be on alert.
