balanced with carved teakwood handles—that we’re sending you exclusively (cutting board included). Plus,
we’re getting you 30%
off magical beans/coffee stones scientifically calibrated to optimize your cup of coffee.
TAP DANCE
Bourbon, from the Barrel to the Spout
Now on tap alongside your favorite beers at Jack Rose: single-barrel bourbon. The specific whiskey will
change, but for now, it’s Willett Orange Blossom Special bourbon. And coming soon: taps dispensing
barrel-aged Negronis and Manhattans. Next thing you know, they’ll be putting beer in bottles.

- Available now at Jack Rose Dining Saloon, 2007 18th St NW, 202-588-7388
E STREET SHUFFLE
Midnight Classics at E Street Cinema
All that free-flowing bourbon may have you primed for some classic film noir. Good thing E Street Cinema is
kicking off its midnight movie series with The Maltese Falcon. In weeks to come, you can catch
The Hustler, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Dazed and Confused. So classic film
noir.
- 411:
- Starts Mar 9, midnight, Landmark E Street Cinema, 555 11th St NW, 202-452-7672
PRE-BRUNCH
All-Night Menu Debuts at Kitchen2404
The biggest problem with brunch: waiting until the next morning for it. No more, as Glover Park’s
Southern-fried bar/dining room starts turning out andouille Benedict, biscuits and gravy, and steak and eggs
starting at 11pm. You can come back again in the morning.
- 411:
- Fri-Sat starting Mar 9, 11pm-6am, Kitchen2404, 2404 Wisconsin Ave NW, 202-333-3387, see the menu
QUICKSILVER
Racing Bikes in a Parking Garage
Like a Super Bowl for bike messengers, this daylong competition sets up an obstacle course in a parking
garage. There’ll also be a ride down the Potomac to the event from the Mall, street art and bike polo
pickup games. Tattoos not required, but encouraged.
- 411:
- Mar 10, 2pm-midnight, Diamond Derby, 1851 S Bell St, Arlington, VA, register here
ARTISTIC DRINKING
Artini Tickets Now on Sale
Drinks from a dozen top mixologists. Live music. So far, not unlike a typical Saturday. Less typical: doing
it in a museum. The Corcoran is throwing open its halls for the night and bringing lots of bartenders. Whom
you can track down for preview
nights between now and the event.
- 411:
- Tickets available now for Mar 31, 8:30pm-midnight, $95 and up, Corcoran Gallery of Art, 500 17th St NW, 202-639-1700, tickets here
