The weekend is a coalition builder.
BEAT THE HEAT
Gratis Soft-Serve at ACKC
A day like this deserves free soft-serve. Okay, maybe not, but that's not stopping the 14th Street temple to
chocolate from doling it out anyway. (They're celebrating the move to a new style of cream that uses more
butterfat. It's called progress.) Arrive at happy hour and pair it up with half-price wine. Cabernet-fudge
sundaes encouraged.
- 411:
- Ice cream all day today, happy hour 6-7:30pm, ACKC, 1529C 14th St NW, 202-387-COCO
PORES AND POURS
Complimentary Facials and Beer
Alchimie Forever—the hidden secret of a Swiss spa in Georgetown—is inviting UrbanDaddy readers in all
day for first-come, first-served 30-minute facials. They'll also be pouring beers from Silver Spring's Hook
& Ladder Brewing Co—which we hear do wonders for the complexion.
- 411:
- May 15, 11am-4pm, Alchimie Forever, 1010 Wisconsin Ave NW, 202-530-3930
KEGS AND LEGS
Kick the Keg Party at Wisdom
You're the type to finish what you start. Especially when it's a keg. The Capitol Hill booze den is offering
a free beer tab to whoever orders the last beer in their keg of Germany's Ayinger Double Bock. To get you in
the kicking spirit, they're showing kung fu movies (although we hear Bruce Lee was a pilsner man).

- May 17, Wisdom, 1432 Pennsylvania Ave SE, 202-543-2323
IN LIKE A LAMB
Taco Tuesdays at 1905
You usually visit this Ninth Street upstairs hideaway for some live jazz and the dark, Parisian atmosphere.
And nothing says jazz and Paris like $3 lamb tacos and $4 Sol beers (available as a combo for six bucks).
Think Fitzgerald in Cancun.
- 411:
- Tuesdays, 5:30-7:30pm, 1905, 1905 Ninth St NW, 202-332-1905
SAND IN YOUR WINGTIPS
Clambakes on Occidental's Patio
Starting next week, the 100-year-old downtown institution is opening its patio for New England-style
clambakes every other Wednesday during the summer. On the menu: 1.5-pound lobsters, mussels, steamers and
strawberry shortcake. Plans to put a lighthouse at the corner of 15th and Pennsylvania are tied up in
permitting.
- 411:
- Alternate Wednesdays beginning May 19, 7pm, $40, Occidental Grill and Seafood, 1475 Pennsylvania Ave NW, 202-783-1475
Only what you need to know.
