Archipelago at 1201 U Street, NW
From a press release:
“The day has (almost) arrived! This November, Todd Thrasher, the lauded wine and spirits devotee and multi-year James Beard Award nominee, will open his highly anticipated Potomac Distilling Company and the Polynesian-style neighborhood tavern, Tiki TNT. Thrasher can’t wait for the opening day, so he’s taking over Archipelago [September 17, September 24, and October 1, 2018] and slinging 5 Tiki cocktails per night – letting the public decide the fate of each cocktail.
For the three consecutive Mondays, from 6PM until midnight, Todd Thrasher will be mixing up the finest, island-inspired Tiki cocktails to soon be featured at DC’s first urban rum haven on the riverfront. Guests will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite cocktails and provide input to Thrasher as he finalizes Tiki TNT’s menu for its opening in November.
Just show up, drink, and vote! There’s no choosing sides, just cocktails – gotta love that form of democracy! Make rum not war!

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
