From a press release:

“This summer, ​Amparo ​owner ​and chef Christian Irabién​ ​is teaming up with​ Cotton & Reed ​(1330 5th Street NE) for ​Pepino​, a new pop-up experience showcasing ceviche-centered fare from ​Saturday, July 20​ through ​Sunday, August 18​.

Pepino will offer guests a preview of Irabién’s forthcoming Amparo, slated to open this fall in leading national retail real estate owner, operator and developer EDENS’ highly anticipated ​La Cosecha​ Latin market in the ​Union Market District​. The limited-run pop-up menu will feature half a dozen exclusive dishes ranging in price from $7 to $16.

Standout offerings include the “​Pepino, Sal y Mar​” a Hawaiian sunfish dish with aguachile, cucumber, mint, serrano, cilantro and tostadas, and the “​Ceviche De Camaron​” made with shrimp, citrus, salsa Mexicana, radishes, tostada atop a saltine cracker. The special menu will also include a handcrafted Cotton & Reed slushie, the “Prickled Pink​,” consisting of prickly pear, Cotton & Reed’s White Rum and Ilegal Mezcal and lime, for $12.

“Because this is a fish-based menu, each dish will offer a nice taste of refreshing summer fare to savor during these warm-weather months,” says Irabién. “I look forward to giving Washingtonians a fresh, fun sneak peek at Amparo before La Cosecha debuts.”

“Our award-winning bar and tasting room serve only rum cocktails, so partnering with Amparo for this pop-up felt like a natural fit and next step to add a new dimension to our distillery experience,” say Cotton & Reed founders ​Reed Walker​ and ​Jordan Cotton​.

Pepino will be open on Thursdays and Fridays from 4 to 10pm, and Saturdays and Sundays from Noon to 8pm.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
