I am still in shock that it is *already* the middle of April. Spring is in full swing and its opening week for the Nats! So, get out there and enjoy all that DC has to offer. I hear it is going to be 84 degrees on Sunday. Lovely.
Thursday
National GrilledCheese Sandwich Day – who doesn’t love grilled cheese?! And, now we do not have to feel guilty for our indulgences. Hop over to some of my faves – the grilled pimento cheese sandwich at Bayou Bakery or the “super” grilled cheese at Stoney’s – and enjoy! The WaPo also offers their best bets.
Friday
Boundary Stone – if you are looking for a hot Friday the 13th happy hour, head to this Bloomingdale bar for a shot of Catoctin Creek Distilling Company Roundstone Rye, a can of DC Brau Brewing Company Public Pale Ale and an order of their award winning wings all for $13 from 4pm-8pm. Sounds like a winner to me.
Musicband, Lexington,Arrows, Divided Heaven, Chach – head to Ras Hall for this Friday 13th party with these punk/garage bands. If you see my buddy Patrick Crean, tell him I sent you!
