Food.Fun.Stuff: To Do in DC
Out and about:
>Today is the DC Sip and Twit. Basically, patrons will be in a traditional tasting room (*wines from around the globe with more emphasis on Argentina and Chile wines) and instead of writing notes on a notepad about the wine, guests will be Tweeting. The two guests who tweet the most during the evening will take home Argentine wine. Fun, especially since we are Twitter junkies, can’t wait to see the different types of wines on Twitter. Check here for tickets.
The Where: DC Sip and Twit, Women’s National Democratic Club, 1526 New Hampshire Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20036
The When: Tonight, 5:30 pm-8 pm
The Money: $39
The Metro: Dupont Circle (Red Line)
>Trying to save energy?? You might want to check out what they are doing @ Farmers & Fishers alongside Earth Aid (*Washington, DC-based energy start-up). Earth Aid members now have the opportunity to win a free Mixology class for 8 with Cheif Mixologist, Jon Arroyo. The group of friends who collectively saves the most energy between now and Earth Day (*April 22, 2010) wins.

*FYI- Farmers & Fishers has extended restaurant week deals until January 31, 2010.
>Additional support for Haiti relief- Ashok Bajaj…the name doesn’t ring a bell?? Well these might: Ardeo/Bardeo, The Bombay Club and Rasika. Some of the most prominent restaurant names in the District will be holding a month-long fundraiser for Haiti relief. From January 19-February 19, 2010, patrons who order an appetizer and/or main course will instantly donate a dollar to the cause (*a dollar from the sale of each of these dishes will be donated to the American Red Cross Relief for Haiti). Some of the most popular dishes made the list including The Oval Room’s Roasted Baby Beets and Butter Poached Lobster and Rasika’s Palak Chaat and Black Cod.
>Social offers Brunch- The usual suspects made the cut: Shrimp & Grits, Bloody Mary’s and Mimosa’s. Some unusual items also appear: Lafayette Benedict (*Crawfish and chorizo sausage in the mix…), biscuits and gravy and Screwdrivers (*People want vodka this early in the day??… whatever gets you by…). Look forward to New Orleans style cuisine, bottomless beverages for $15 and no reservations for parties less than 10.
The Where: Social, 3400 14th st., NW Washington, DC (202) 797-1100
P.S.: We always smile when we visit this site…kudos to the site designer for “The Dramatics” old school tunes…
