When Omar Miskinyar opened 14th Street NW nightlife spot Policy earlier this year, he invested in the unexpected. Inside the sprawling restaurant, bar, and lounge, ornate chandeliers hang below exposed pipes and ducts. Graffiti by artist Andrew Funk blazes across the tasteful taupe walls. Cherry-red patent-leather booths ring a bar with a wall of flat-screen televisions. And rather than pants vs. triangle, "ladies" vs. "gents," or "Barbie" vs. "Ken," the doors to the restrooms are marked with a pair of swirled Plexiglas exclamation points. One is blue, the other is pink. They're the size of human beings.
