The weekend carries its own torch.
Thanks to Perks, you’re receiving 25% off the world’s tiniest earphones—previously only available to FBI agents (seriously). Also, take 30% off a three-pack of cocktailing essentials (shaker, flask, handkerchiefs). Plus, we’re giving you $100 toward new gear from A.P.C., Gitman Vintage and more. Go on, take it.
It’s time to live out your intramural glory days yet again by assembling a team of ringers for Zog Sports’ annual co-ed, eight-on-eight touch tourney. Besides, a Gatorade shower always feels better in the dead of August.
For the opening ceremonies, might as well keep things appropriately British. Fortunately, this downtown pub is rolling out new happy hour specials like oyster shooters and Guinness-soaked pretzels for four bucks, $3.50 drafts and $3 off all scotches. Which is not a banned substance yet.
Regrettably, you had a scheduling conflict when the ’Skins cheerleaders were shooting their calendar in Aruba. Make up for it when the calendar is unveiled Friday, along with a few performances and fashion shows. No, you should not wear your football helmet.
Cava Mezze Grill, the build-your-own-gyro spot that’s been doing its thing in the burbs, has finally touched down in Columbia Heights. You’ll be able to fuel up on lamb, grilled meatballs, tzatziki and falafel, all packed into a pita. Be warned: the dangers of overfilled pita are real. Very real.
The Bluejacket brewery—from the folks behind ChurchKey—won’t start brewing in town until next year. But next week, you can still tip back five of their beers that they’ve already brewed elsewhere, like the summery Sidewalk Saison. Just don’t walk down the sidewalk with it.
