The weekend is crossing the Potomac.<br />
Thanks to a change in Virginia law, this infant distiller of gin, whiskey and brandy in Loudoun can now sell on site. You might want to go on Saturday when a live band plays... but no, you like whiskey too much. May we suggest you get there right when the doors open—at 6am Friday.
Your new life of leisure dictates new pursuits. Like fly-fishing. Pick up some tips as Orvis offers its Fly 101 and 201 classes totally gratis. Give our regards to Cheney when you hit Wyoming.
You’ve got a perfect rooftop perch picked out for the fireworks. You just need a worthy pregame spot. Enter this picnic in Poste’s garden courtyard, where you can pick from stuff like grilled corn, watermelon with sea salt and Root Beer Glazed Spare Ribs. Which go well with regular beer.
We’d like to talk about your wrist. And more importantly, what should be adorning it. We suggest one of Skywatch’s stylish Swiss-made chronographs—discreet and precise, like a good bank account. We’re also hooking you up with a rock-star-worthy weekend at New York’s luxuriously decadent Gramercy Park Hotel.
You love your outdoor drinking, but when the mercury tops 90, it’s enough to make you head indoors for the A/C. Unless... someone is there to mist you. Yes, at Dodge City’s new two-level outdoor patio, a hose and a big fan ensure you won’t overheat. Now back to the beer.
After this weekend, you’ll be taking all future Mondays off. Good thing, because you’ll spend next Sunday sampling tequila cocktails from six of the city’s top bartenders. While you help judge, you’ll feast on small bites... and a few more cocktails from Quill’s list. Sunday is the new Thursday.
