The weekend is getting to know the voters.
Scientists have shown that rough nights lead to rougher mornings-after. Fortunately, the scientists at Nickel have invented Morning After Rescue Gel—a hangover-curing face cream infused with caffeine, citrus and soy protein to smooth any lingering roughness. Now, our scientists at Perks are bringing it to you for 40% off. Let’s hear it for science.
Last time you beat the clock, you were carried off the court in triumph. (Specifically, the Supreme Court.) This time, your rewards are simpler: beer, wine and cocktails for $1 at 3pm, $2 at 4pm, $3 at 5pm and $4 at 6pm, alongside bar snacks like parmesan-truffle fries and chicken-fried oysters. Which are, in fact, timeless.
Taking your date shopping before your date: generally unwise. Unless you’re shopping for wine. Get a bottle of wine at either Potenza Wine or Zola Wine & Kitchen, and carry it into dinner at Potenza or Zola, and your waiter will pop it for you, sans corkage fees. You are your own sommelier.
Your tie: skinny. Your pocket square: white. Your meal at Bourbon Steak: Swedish meatballs, iceberg salad and beef stroganoff. Afterward, settle into another Manhattan and some truffled popcorn to take in the season finale in the restaurant’s private dining room. It may finally be time to reveal your alter ego.
So your standing Sunday round has gone the way of summer. Not to worry. Your H Street home for fish tacos and diabolical mini golf is waiving greens fees every Sunday, Monday and Tuesday when you have dinner. We hear Nicklaus fueled up on fish tacos back in the day.
All fall, you can take up a lunchtime perch at the bar here and grab one of five pasta dishes, along with a glass of wine and sorbet for dessert, for 15 bucks. A date is optional, but we feel like a power lunch is really more of a third-date move.
