All booked up Tired of paintings, portraits and sculpture? Check out The Book as Art: Twenty Years of Artists' Books from the National Museum of Women in the Arts, an exhibit of over 100 art objects in the form of books (think elaborate pop-ups or a book that looks like a bowl of salad). The exhibit will run through February 4, 2007 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. For more information visit www.nmwa.org. Wining and Dining Opened in July 2006 at 2121 P St., N.W., Urbana has become a popular hang out for dinner and quality wine tasting. The contemporary setting was built below street level and because of its decorative racks of wine and warm brick walls, it has a cozy wine cellar feel. GM Peter Berntsen and chef Richard Brandenburg both hail from San Francisco, which might explain the laid back, sophisticated vibe. Urbana has a wine expert on staff to help with pairings throughout your meal. For reservations call (202) 956-6650.

November 17-19; general admission is $14; for more information visit www.craftsamericashows.com or call (203) 254-0486.
