The weekend. Now 50% bigger.
We heard you’re headed to the beach. Here’s 20% off a custom-tailored surfboard, c/o Swami’s and Paul Smith, to help. Also: limited-edition boat shoes from Rancourt and 28% off the best damn umbrella in the world from Blunt. Hey, when it rains, it pours.
Beer. Cornhole. Food trucks. And a day’s worth of Southern and country rock bands. Just what you need to get you on the mechanical bull, as Fairgrounds kicks off its monthly South on South Capitol music fest. Make sure the cameras are rolling before you wave your hat.
You’ve got yet another rooftop option along U Street, and it’s a two-level beauty. You’ll sit among stained glass and reclaimed Wyoming barn wood while you tuck into absinthe cocktails and new bar snacks like BBQ pork sandwiches. Yes, that’s the Washington Monument in the distance; it’s not just the absinthe.
After exhausting the city’s cupcake and pie options, you need to stock up on another sweet option this summer. Enter the fluffy sandwich cookie otherwise known as a macaron, which you’ll find in spades here in flavors like vanilla bean, blood orange and bitter chocolate. The era of the gourmet Oreo is here.
Bad news: even though it’s summer, you’re going to occasionally need sleeves. Make the best of it, as the Georgetown shirtmakers are unloading last season’s shirts at up to 50% off, including some rare short-run shirts that were never available online. Finally, a collectible button-down.
Come Sunday morning, you may be persuaded to wake up early for yoga. No, really. It’s at a rooftop pool, and afterward you can head down for a Belgian waffle or corned beef hash before heading back up to the pool for the rest of the day. Which can be much lower impact.
