The weekend has a surplus of yams.
Perks is hooking you up with the season’s hottest gift: leather-bound cufflinks that happen to be fully functional lighters. (Enjoy responsibly.) We’re also getting you access to a lifetime of private jetting for 300 bucks and shipping you a box of truffles directly from Italy—from the same importers Daniel Boulud uses—for 25% off.
It’s not popsicle weather. We know. Fortunately, there’s now such a thing as hot chocolate pops. Well, we’re glad you asked. These are basically cubes of really good chocolate (spicy Mexican, salted) on a stick that you swirl in your steaming mug of frothy milk. Yup, you’ll want to dunk something.
Spanish outfitter Massimo Dutti has landed their second US store in Georgetown and brought with them all manner of winter staples, like cashmere-blend peacoats, corduroy blazers, and stacks of twill and poplin shirts. You won’t have to pay in euros.
If you’ve got a white cat, now’s a good time for its public debut, as the Spy Museum walks you through 50 years of Bond’s nemeses. In addition to inspecting the usual movie props, you can try your hand at disarming a missile against the clock or hanging from your fingertips as long as Bond often does. (Only he does it in a tux.)
Good news: Room 11 is now... less tiny. Better news: their new bar deals coffee and pastries all day, and specializes in serving you bitter cocktails at night alongside your roasted quail and pork-belly grilled cheese. Yes, of course a pork-belly grilled cheese sounds good.
We know you may have just overdosed on poultry. Better dress it up with donuts and bottomless margaritas. There, that’s better. Oh, by the way: you can now get these at Bandolero’s new weekend brunch. Also: eggs.
