The weekend sees everything through gravy-colored glasses.
Your Perks: 1) Goldbely is delivering turducken, pumpkin cake and other holiday foods to your door. (Order today to get them in time for Thanksgiving.) 2) 25% off leather wallets inspired by gangsters. 3) 32% off Swiss-made watches for you... or someone you like. This is how you win the holidays.
It’s time you buckled down and started training for Thanksgiving dinner. Exercise #1: eat these filling bao buns, like fenugreek pork belly with pickled mustard greens, from the chef behind the Ball or Nothing meatball truck. You can find him downstairs in the Oasis Grocery convenience store near Dupont. Naturally.
Here tomorrow for your holiday-gifting pleasure (and your own pleasure): a pop-up by Richmond-born Ledbury. First, take a look at all the taxidermy they brought up. Cool. Then on to their Italian-cotton shirts, herringbone coats, cashmere scarves and a new quail-hunting collection. Never know when Cheney might call.
At Petworth Citizen’s new brunch, you could get a beet sandwich. Okay. But you could also get “steak-cut” bacon with pumpernickel and a poached egg, Bloody Marys with garlic and sriracha, and a rotating brunch punch. Go on, get the brunch punch.
Next week, it’s time to try something different with your pie. Like have it in donut form. Submitted for your approval: these huge Thanksgiving donuts from Astro—pumpkin-filled with vanilla glaze, apple-filled with cinnamon glaze and bourbon-caramel glazed with toasted pecans. You should still top them with ice cream.
And now, an early invitation to gluttony. Et Voila, the Belgian destination spot in the Palisades, is hosting a “Stretch Your Belly” party with unlimited mussels, frites and Belgian white beer. A suitable pregame to your bottomless mashed potatoes.
