1. The fifth outdoor movie this summer from Occidental Grill & Seafood will take place on September 5, 2015 on the outdoor courtyard just off Pennsylvania Avenue with Father Goose. A 3-course meal is quietly served while you watch the film. Menus vary with each showing and offer guests a choice of appetizer, entrée, and dessert. Films start at 8:00pm and films begin at 8:30pm.

Price: $45.00 per person (not inclusive of tax, gratuity, or alcoholic beverages)

2. The Washington City Paper’s Summer Movie Series finishes up this week, August 13, 2015 with The NeverEnding Story.
