What goes up must come weekend.
Your Perks: 1) A plethora of classic Ray-Ban sunglasses for protecting your eyes all stylishly and such. 2) V-necks and short-sleeve button-ups from Jared Lang, your go-to summer shirting guys. 3) Casual dress shirts and blazers. Bring on wedding season.
You’ve gotten TaKorean bossam with kimchi from a truck. You’ve gotten it at the Yards pre-baseball. You’ve gotten it at Union Market. Now, you’re getting it for a quick downtown lunch meeting right by the National Press Club. Reporters love tacos.
What do donut shops and whiskey bars have in common? Here, they both have new bars. Inside Sugar Shack Donuts in Old Town, you’ll encounter Captain Gregory’s, a nautically themed cocktail bar with plenty of rum. Meanwhile, Jack Rose opens its tiki bar, with drinks in mugs and wood-grilled tacos.
Here’s your last chance to get limited-run cotton blazers, and perfect-for-summer shirts in pink poplin, lightweight denim and checked gingham, from the local guys at Hugh & Crye. Better yet, you can knock 30% off if you know the code. (Pause for effect.) Okay, the code is below.
Saturday will be a big day. First head to New Columbia for the release of their first summer cup, made with their Green Hat Navy Strength Gin and vermouth. Think of it like a Pimm’s, but not. Then proceed to One Eight Distilling for their first Tennessee-style whiskey alongside biscuits from Mason Dixie.
We’d encourage you to hang out at a brewery anytime, really. But especially on Sunday. For its annual summer party, 3 Stars is inviting bands, DJs, local distillers, bakers and sandwich makers. Yes, they’ll be tapping rare and one-off beers. Sandwich-friendly, we’re sure.
