The weekend funnels everything through the Caymans.
SCHEDULE C
Cocktail Deductions at Topaz Bar
The 1040 still lacks a deduction for cocktails (at least until Congress gets serious about reform), but the
Dupont lounge is taking the sting out with a deal that gets you a cocktail and bar snack for $10.40. If
Uncle Sam is taking a bigger bite, then order any two cocktails and your third will be "deducted" from your
bill. No accountant required.

NAPKIN ARITHMETIC
Do Your Taxes at Zola
So you procrastinated. The spy-themed Penn Quarter haunt has you covered with tax forms, calculators,
envelopes and #2 pencils—they'll even mail in your form for free if you do it at the bar. They'll also
throw in a three-course lunch for $20.15 and dinner for $35.15 at the bar. No tax, naturally.

POWER PLAY
Shot and a Goal at The Red & The Black
You're certain that Alex & Co. are about to usher in several weeks of celebration. Start here during
Game One with $3 PBRs all night, plus dollar shots for every Caps goal. Call it your own personal hat trick.

PIE GUYS
DC Slices Truck Starts Rolling
You love your pizza. Perhaps even enough to chase it around the city. On Friday, the long-awaited mobile
pizza oven starts its rounds, turning out homemade crusts topped with pepperoni, mushrooms or sopressata.
They'll even have Wi-Fi, but try not to get any grease in your laptop.
GET SKINNY
Your Kentucky Derby Tie
Before long, it's going to be hot, and you'll undoubtedly find yourself on a veranda at some Southern
senator's fund-raiser. To look the part, grab one of these Outer Banks-inspired cotton ties in bright pastel
patterns. Order any width, from power-tie wide to Rat Pack skinny—like what JFK would have worn if he were
from Biloxi.
