The weekend never gets stuck in the chimney.
Just in time for New Year’s, we’re hooking you up with overnight caviar delivery, bubbly for all occasions at up to 56% off and the magical recovery drink CodeBlue. Not that you’d ever need such a thing...
Your needs this week are few, but they are specific: pounds of protein, preferably briny and smoky. Enter Hill Country, prepping holiday hams and briskets by the pound along with sides like baked beans with burnt ends and sweet-potato-bourbon mash, for pickup or delivery. You didn’t want to go out anyway.
And yet... you just never feel quite festive enough until you’ve sampled your way through every American and Belgian Christmas draft you can get your hands on. Like the 13 now on tap at Paradiso Dupont... until they run out. Better wrap yourself in tinsel just in case.
Bocce. We know. You’ve been there; you’ve dominated. So it’s time to move to the big leagues. Or at least the bar with the nice bocce court. For its winter season, DC Bocce is rolling its balls at Black Jack. It’s time to start practicing. Which means the kitchen floor just got another use.
The first thing you should know about Spelling Buzz: $6 gets you a PBR and a shot of “crap” whiskey. The second thing: when you take the podium, drink in hand, you’ll need to recall spellings of elementary school words, along with dirty words. And probably dirty elementary school words. Like “barnyard.”
Come Monday, you’ll still be in the giving mood. Also: the receiving mood. So bring in a new toy for Urbana’s toy drive and get gratis, bottomless Bellinis throughout brunch. Just the thing to wash down the Fudge Brownie Pancakes. Which is what you left out for Santa.
