You can reach the weekend at its summer house.
This week’s Perks: 1. A pro-grade ice ball maker—used by the world’s best cocktail dens, and perfect for your summer cocktailing. 2. Some exclusive vintage Rolexes and Omegas in mint condition. 3. 25% off the iGrill—a Bluetooth thermometer that lets you grill from your couch. Brilliant...
Now and again, a happy hour comes along that’s tough to ignore. Like this one at the Coupe—50-cent sriracha wings, deviled eggs and stuffed dates with ham, backed with $3 Natty Bohs, $4 rum punch and $5 wine. Oh, and it lasts until 8. That’s a lot of wings.
Your number of historic concert venues just increased by one, as the city hands over the keys to the Lincoln Theatre to the folks behind 9:30 Club. On tap for fall shows: Neko Case, Laura Marling, Matt Nathanson and KT Tunstall. Lincoln would’ve loved KT Tunstall.
In the past, you had to go to Baltimore for a drive-in movie. Now, you can go to Union Market, which is turning its three-story wall into a big screen. Park your car, or just walk up and picnic on the vendors’ wares before the flick starts. First up: Dr. Strangelove.
After last weekend, you’re looking for other countries to celebrate. Here’s one. And this celebration has French maids racing around. There will also be: food trucks, DJs, five street bars... and Marie Antoinette. Hopefully one of those trucks is serving cake.
José Andrés is doubling down on the whole Minibar thing. Now he’s got a private chef’s table behind a white curtain, where you’ll get 25 courses with beverage pairings. You just need to gather up five friends. And $3,000. Yep, that’s all.
