The weekend answers to no one.
No Limit
Bottomless Sake at Zentan
For a hotel named after legendary spy "Wild Bill" Donovan, you'd think discretion would reign at the Donovan
House. Unless bottomless sake is involved. The hotel's Zentan restaurant is offering UrbanDaddy readers
unlimited pours of the adult beverage with any sushi, sashimi or hot appetizer platter. Just mention "Agent
Bill" to get the hookup…

- 5:30-7:30pm, Mon-Fri beginning Nov 12, Zentan, 1155 14th St NW, 202-379-4366
Game On
Game Tasting at Inox
It's a meal that would make Ted Nugent proud: a five-course menu featuring all sorts of shotgun-addled fare
you don't normally eat (let alone see)—venison, rabbit, squab, hare and wild boar. Dick Cheney jokes
provided at no extra cost.

- $150/person, 6:30pm, Nov 13, Inox, 1800 Tysons Blvd, McLean, VA, 703-790-4669
Noble Experiment
Repeal Day Ball Tickets on Sale

freedom by grabbing a ticket to the 2nd Annual Repeal Day Ball on December 5 at PS7's. Expect cocktails from

Knickers Required
Inaugural DC Tweed Ride
If the Tour de France took place at Oxford, this is what it might look like: a group of would-be dukes and
earls donning wool vests, riding caps and plus fours for a bike ride to the pub. The postgame happens at
Marvin, with gin drinks and enough Britpop to soothe Noel Gallagher's tortured ego.
- 411:
- No cost, 11am, Nov 15, Tweed Ride begins at 722 H St NE
Nearly Free Frites
Half-Off New Nage Bar Menu
Usually when you order bar food, you're expecting simple. And simple is fine. But Glenn Babcock, the new
chef at Nage, is airing it out, with fare like steak tartare deviled eggs and tempura squash blossoms.
Better yet, it's all half-price during happy hour, plus drink specials and $1 frites. That's fries to
you…
