The weekend would like to welcome you to the big leagues.
PERK ALERT
The Ferrari of Electric Bikes, 25% Off
Welcome to the future: where you’ll glide to the beach in a sleek, gasless electronic bike
called the Jetson. Where your iPhone doubles as a remote-controlled camera, taking your conference calls to the next level. Where your mom
wakes up to a diamond watch flown in from Paris. The future is now.

SINEMA SHOW
Risqué Films and Even Risqué-r Dancing
On the screen: some of the most provocative and titillating films from the archives of the DC Shorts
festival. On stage in between the films: an array of burlesque and vaudeville performers who may mess with
fire, play the trumpet and dance with hoops. Oh, and take their clothes off.
- 411:
- May 11-12, $20, Atlas Performing Arts Center, 1333 H St NE, 202-399-7993, see the showtimes
SMALL BITES
$1 Antipasti at A.M. Wine Shoppe
Sometime on Saturday afternoon, you’ll want a breadstick wrapped in prosciutto. All the better if you get
it with gratis wine. Now every Saturday, A.M.’s communal tastings are paired with dollar antipasti like
chicken-liver mousse and anchovies. They go down easier with the wine.
- 411:
- Saturdays starting May 12, antipasti 1pm, tastings 2-4pm, A.M. Wine Shoppe, 2122 18th St NW, 202-506-2248
BIG BERTHA
Breakfast All Day at Florida Ave Grill
The only thing better than weekend breakfast: weekend breakfast at dinner hours. So classic greasy spoon
Florida Avenue Grill is now slinging eggs all day. We recommend the Miss Bertha’s Breakfast
Special, a one-of-everything breakfast extravaganza. Because you may have skipped breakfast
and lunch.

- Available now at Florida Avenue Grill, 1100 Florida Ave NW, 202-265-1586, see the menu
DOUBLE HELIX
Backyard Burgers and Half-Price Beers
Nothing against happy hours, but the food you get tends to be... diminutive. Enter Helix Lounge’s new
burger happy hour on their patio, where $7 gets you a wood-fired burger and chips. They’ll throw in a can
of DC Brau for half price. You’ll feel like a real American by the time you’re done.
- 411:
- Wednesdays through Labor Day, 5-7pm, Helix Lounge, 1430 Rhode Island Ave NW, 202-462-9001
ROAD FOOD
Get Ready for Sex, Anger and Dinner
Local dining society the Coterie is pulling out all the stops. Or actually, adding stops. Uber cars will
whisk you to four different restaurants for a cocktail and a small bite before winding up at new design
studio T-Square for a four-course dinner and a chat with a sex/anger author.
