  DUCK, DUCK...BUFFALOBuffalo Confit at Westend Bistro
On the off chance you needed another excuse to go to the bar, Eric Ripert is bringing you some new bar
snacks like oyster pan roasts and lobster rolls with garlic and sherry. The true achievement, though, is the

It may be hard to believe, but soon enough the sun will be shining bright and your schooner will finally be
out of the dry dock. So your feet must be prepared accordingly. These suede, canvas or (appropriately)

prices—95 cents. Next up: a summer of love.

with red rubber balls isn't a typical incentive. Gather up five friends with a similar killer instinct for

know what goes on in the unsanctioned leagues.
  PIE GUYSHappy Hour Launches at Il Canale
Whatever ails you come Monday, a pizza margherita, prepared by a team of Neapolitans who have come to
Georgetown solely to toss some dough, ought to help. They'll even throw in a glass of wine, and get you out
the door for less than 10 bucks. Kissing on both cheeks is encouraged.
