Food.Fun.Stuff: March Madness
*Chuckle* Today is March 1 and it seems that everything is starting today. Yelp Week, Artini's, Dining Out for Life, March Madness...our calendar is already full for the month and today is just the first day! Crossing our fingers for Spring temperatures in about three weeks but here are a few events to keep your mind off the present freezing temperatures:
>>>Artini's are back! When they first introduced this concept, we thought it would be a fad for the moment and we would not hear about it anymore. Corcoran Gallery of Art 1869 Society dispelled this theory with the unleashing of Artini 2010, which is a month-long event to benefit ArtReach. Beginning today, 12 of the city's top mixologist will compete by making the most artistic martinis inspired by pieces from the Corcoran's permanent collection, A Love of Europe: Highlights from the William A. Clark Collection (*On view until April 11, 2010). Folks are invited to sample the Artini's @ the various venues and to vote for their faves @ the Washingtonian website. The winner will be annouced on March 27 @ the Corcorans culminating event.
What do you do? Attend "Feature Night" @ the various venues and taste test the Artini's @ a discounted price. Go home, vote and do it all over again. Some venues to look out for: POV @ the W Hotel, PS7, Rasika and SEI Restaurant and Lounge.
>>>Yelp Drinks Week starts today. Again, we have learned the Macy's One Day Sale is not the only good gig in town...50% off cocktails, beer and wine is topping that. Beginning today until March 7 (Sunday), drink specials are all around at participating Yelp Drink Week restaurants. What you will see and taste??: $2.50 will get you Great Lakes Amber Lager from SOVA Espresso and Wine and $14 allows you to split a pitcher of Fusion Sangria Margarita @ Hudson. Another excuse to drink good cocktails...and plenty of them.
>>>Side Bar. We know it's been open for a minute, but just in case you're late like us, Red Apron Butchery is now open @ the Dupont Circle Freshfarm Market. *Excited look* Funny. We just had this conversation with someone the other day: "Where's a good local butcher?" Now there's one right in our backyard and metro accessible. Hot dogs, sausages and other fresh cuts:-)
The Where:
Red Apron @ the Dupont Circle Freshfarm Market
20th St, NW
Washington, DC
The When: Sundays, 10 am-1 pm
