The weekend just saw Russell Crowe float by.
Your Perks: 1) 60% off a stash of handsome leather bags you need for spring. 2) An iOS-compatible device for keeping track of your keys. 3) Spiked chocolates, wine totes and other Mother’s Day–worthy gifts. We got you covered.
Next time you order a whiskey at Bourbon Steak, it might have its own set of wheels. They’ve just rolled out a whiskey trolley to get your hooch to your table that much faster, and it’s loaded with 12 whiskeys, Japanese crystal glasses and hand-cut ice. No word on whether it’s subject to NTSB regulations.
Seems like this should be part of your Correspondents’ Dinner pregame: perusing 200 official White House photos from 1900 to the present, on exhibit in the W’s lobby, from Hoover going fishing to Ron and Nancy stepping out at an inaugural ball. But probably not your selfie at the northwest gate.
Starting tonight, Hill Country is firing up the smokers (and live music) again on the Building Museum’s lawn. So maybe give it a day to dry out, then show up for brisket sandwiches, cornbread and spiked Arnold Palmers. BYO blanket.
This weekend, tell everyone you’re taking Harper’s spot in the outfield. Even if it’s just to sit down and watch opera. The Washington National Opera is doing its simulcast thing again, this time with The Magic Flute. You’ll just do your normal sausage-and-beer Nats Park thing.
We’re not sure if this is what they’ll be eating in Mexico on Cinco de Mayo, but... well, no need to be a purist. El Rey is doing a one-day-only taco with pork loin, al pastor, carnitas and pork mayo, inside a taco shell made out of bacon. Probably doesn’t need salt.
