Three Words: Co-Ed Touch Football

This summer, you have two advantages over the NFL: one, you’ll actually be playing football. And two, it’s co-ed football. This eight-on-eight touch football tourney goes all day on the Sidwell Friends fields. Fortunately, so does the happy hour at Town Tavern.

Taking registrations now for Aug 7, $300 per team, Sidwell Friends School, 3825 Wisconsin Ave NW, register here

A Giant Potato Skin Filled with Meat

After all those touchdown receptions, you’ll need to fuel the machine. Enter this giant crispy potato skin at Bourbon Steak’s bar, filled with braised oxtail, blue cheese, caramelized onion and horseradish cream. You can thank Idaho later.

Available now at the bar, Bourbon Steak, 2800 Pennsylvania Ave NW, 202-944-2026

RUM FOR YOUR LIFE

Lunch and 10 Rums at Ceiba

You won’t be heading back to Barbados for a few months. And yet your palate keeps wandering back. Give in with this lunch, accompanied by a flight of 10 rums, from cachaças to aged beauties. A tiki bar can’t be far behind.
