The weekend is melting.
Your weekly Perks: 20% off some handmade sunglasses (with gratis shipping, of course); an exclusive portable (yet powerful) grill; and a Bluetooth-enabled thermometer for controlling that grill... from your couch. Summer just got extra Perky...
Your outdoor options on H Street are increasing. Sol Mexican Grill still makes a mean burrito, but now they can serve you margaritas and Mexican beers on their new upstairs patio. Meanwhile, Vendetta’s got a small outdoor room off their second floor—the spot to wait for your turn on the bocce court.
We’re not sure of your lunch plans on Friday, but perhaps you’ll want a crab cake. Here then, the Crab Cab, a new truck dealing in crab bisque, crab cake sandwiches and smoked-salmon salad. And probably more reliable than a regular cab.
Time to invent a morning “dentist appointment.” There’s brunch in it for you, now that B Too is serving up its weekend lineup of lobster-and-egg skillets, coriander-chili Bloody Marys and waffles with cinnamon syrup and whipped cream during the week. Nothing closes a deal like lobster and eggs.
Sunday is Belgium’s National Day. And frankly, we’re disappointed in your level of Belgian national spirit. So get yourself to Eastern Market, where seven chefs will be competing in a mussel-off. Your admission gets you a mussel pot or a Belgian beer. But yes, there’s more where that came from.
Your last Saturday cookout was lacking. Not in the sausage department, but in the exotic-Italian-liqueurs department. Here to help: DC’s new maker of such liqueurs, who’ll come to your house with a dozen of his wares for a Saturday afternoon of tastings and cocktails. Keep ’em away from the flame.
