The weekend will henceforth answer to “Bubba.”
Your Perks: 1) 29% off a revolutionary phone case that doubles as a helmet-mounted extreme-sports camera. 2) A summer’s worth of jalapeño margaritas and sriracha Bloody Marys. 3) A bottle of the highly coveted cognac Le Reviseur. Sip this slow...er than usual.
Quick, name two things that start with P. If you said “Peeps” and “pop-tarts,” you: a) are insane, and b) should really head to Ted’s Bulletin, which is putting out a mashup of the two—a strawberry pop-tart topped with glaze, sprinkles and a fluorescent peep. Just the thing for your breakfast dessert course.
Time to ease into road-tripping season. Nothing crazy, just... Baltimore. Specifically, Wit & Wisdom’s 85 seats right on Harbor East. So pick an Orioles game off the schedule. Then come here for four different burgers, shellfish platters and some Natty Boh. You’re still in Baltimore after all.
Union Market’s drive-in movie series starts up again this week with National Lampoon’s Vacation, so load up the Family Truckster with as many friends as it can handle, collect some provisions in the market, and hit the Airstream trailer parked out front for some cocktails. Then: enjoy Chevy Chase back when he was funny.
If you’re looking for something to combat a hangover this weekend, you can’t go wrong in a gritty, rock-and-roll-style diner that serves sausage and gravy, bacon-and-egg burgers with tater tots and peanut butter/bacon/fluff sandwiches. Satellite Room is now that place.
DC Brau just turned three years old. No, don’t get them a coloring book. Just show up on Saturday for a whole evening of brewery tours, tastings and BBQ. Oh, and a set by ska legends the Pietasters. If you’re still into ska.
