The weekend just pranked Clooney.
It’s a foregone conclusion: sometime this summer, you’ll require a night of Russian feasting, with plenty of vodka and a 28-degree tasting room. Naturally, we have you covered. Plus, we’re hooking you up with gratis tickets to an advance screening of The Devil’s Double and 70% off a two-month Crunch membership.
Cafe del Rey turns 20 this year. Which means two things for you: 1) Now through next Wednesday, they’ll bring you a half-dozen oysters and a glass of champagne for $20. 2) Every Friday through September, pitchers of White Peach Sangria are $20 all day. Please, no gifts.
