April showers bring May weekends.
Your Perks: 1) A few great vintage Rolexes. The more, the merrier. 2) A mélange of bold button-ups to infuse your spring wardrobe with some color. You know, for spring. 3) Some classic-looking sunglasses and eyeglasses. Great if you’re blocking rays. Or fronting a band.
Your tolerance for ham is... well, it’s never been tested, really. Probably pretty high, though. Find out as the Birch & Barley/ChurchKey chefs roll out boards of four hams this week, including an 18-month, house-aged prosciutto. Yes, of course they’ll suggest beer pairings.
Soon, there will be a restaurant specializing in nothing but lobsters and burgers. Even sooner (like now), there is a pop-up at Prequel serving those very same things, only paired with cocktails, beer and wine. Clever, clever.
Normally, Congressional Cemetery closes by dusk. But not tomorrow, when you’ll bring food, drinks and a blanket, and take up a spot. Then you’ll be joined by Alfred Hitchcock and a legion of vicious birds. On a movie screen. Not in real life. Just in case that wasn’t clear.
It’s a beer fest with cocktails. No, it’s a wine fest with beer. No, it’s... something new, by the booze-focused minds behind Bluejacket, the Partisan and more. You’ll sample rare beer and wine while you eat doner kebabs and whole-smoked-hog tacos. Okay, so actually it’s a whole-smoked-hog-taco fest.
Someday you might face a weekend without new, locally produced whiskey. But it won’t be this one, because here comes One Eight Distilling’s first sherry-cask-aged bourbon, called Untitled No. 1. You can find it in flights and cocktails at Mockingbird Hill and Southern Efficiency. And sure, you can title it if you want.
