Pig Roasts: So what the economy is terrible, what really matters is that Washingtonians always, ALWAYS have an opportunity to eat pig. Oh look, here are a few of the thousands of upcoming pig-centric events: Pig-a-Palooza at Jackson 20 Restaurant on Wednesday, September 22 ($35 for all you can eat pork, ribs, potato salad, cole [...]
Wednesday, September 15: It’s a new a day in DC, but if there’s one thing (most) Washingtonians will always love, it’s their precious food trucks. Now it’s time to figure out which food truck is the best food truck: Brightest Young Things, along with DCRA and the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, is [...]
Thursday, September 9: To all our Jewish Friends, a Happy New Year (or “Rosh Hashanah”)! One celebrates by eating apples and honey, but for a more new traditional new years-y celebration, why not drink vodka? From 6-7PM on Thursday, The Reserve will be giving out vodka for FREE, and from 7PM-close rail drinks, including margaritas [...]
Thursday, August 26, and Friday, August 27: Women don’t like baseball and neither do kids with peanut allergies, but both breeds are being lured to Nationals Stadium this week by jewelry, handbags and EpiPens. On Thursday, the Nationals are hosting a Vegas themed pre-game party complete with massages and manicures for all womenfolk in DC. [...]
Food Trucks: DC’s anticipation of the lobster truck has officially reached such epic levels that we’re no longer sure if it or the “Ground Zero” mosque is the bullshit non-issue that we should be paying attention to this week. Both do showcase America at its finest. How this city ever functioned without daily access to [...]
Wednesday, August 11: Forget the popsicles, slushies, and snow cones, it’s too damn hot in D.C. to be refreshed by a gimmick. Just find a bar with excellent air conditioning, sit, drink, and do not move. Try Recessions — their $4.00 “King Kong” 28 ounce drafts don’t taste like ambiguous artificial fruit. They taste like [...]
Wednesday, August 4: Potenza’s summer special has everything you need to be happy in the summertime when it’s hot and you want to be anywhere but in DC: figs stuffed with cheese, meatballs made with veal, mushrooms and cheese, nutella candies, cannolis, and fancy Italian wine. Oh, and it’s all actually affordable. [Potenza: Sweet and [...]
Wednesday, July 28 through Saturday, August 14: We’re very happy to report that for the first time in a long-ass time we don’t feel the need to qualify the heat in DC with the term “unbearable.” Hooray, it’s only 95 degrees out! And 27 restaurants in the “Golden Triangle District” — a wonderland of opium, [...]
Wednesday, July 21: Maybe you care that today is Feestag, the Belgian copy of the French copy of the 4th of July? Of course you do, because Real Americans love using other countries’ celebrations of freedom as excuses to drink, regardless of what/where actually happened. Brasserie Beck is celebrating Belgium Day tonight from 5-9PM with [...]
Tonight, July 7: What should you do tonight? Should you be a Wonkette reader who actually lives in DC, you should come to our Weeping Eagle Awards, of course. The ceremony/happy hour/comedic political hour is tonight at Solly’s and it includes free southern treats and whoopie pies, drink specials and actual physical weeping eagles awards. [...]
Thursday, June 17:If you’ve been watching the World Cup, you’ve probably become viciously anti-American. You may also like Latinos and have contemplated which salad, cupcake or modern furniture store to loot should the U.S. tie/win on Friday. But before you lose all sense of good will, head to Town Tavern on Thursday night for a [...]
Thursday, June 10 through Saturday, June 12: Yelling at Sarah Palin’s Facebook posts may have won the Wonkette Poll of how to best celebrate 50 Days of Oil Spill Fun, but that’s not how DC restaurants celebrate tragedy! Jaleo, Café Atlantico, Oyamel and Zaytinya are all celebrating by doing what DC restaurants do best: donating [...]
Wednesday, June 2: Things we learned this week: Not even dressing up in Sex Monster costumes and prolonged public displays of affection can guarantee the success of a marriage. Oh well. But if the old tales of blogger/senator romance have you still believing in love, a romantic (and cheap!) date option is to enjoy the [...]
Thursday, May 27: The second Sex and the City movie comes out on Thursday, which is a historic, important, life-changing event probably for no one in the Wonkette universe. But should you actually go see it — or, better yet, if you ever go to the movies in Chinatown and care to eat an elaborate [...]
