Cordelia Fishbar’s All Hallows’ Eve Wine Dinner: A Ghoulishly Good Night Out in Union Market

Published October 15, 2026 at 12:45PM

Halloween comes a few days early at Cordelia Fishbar. On Thursday, October 29, the Union Market seafood spot hosts its All Hallows’ Eve Wine Dinner, the second in its Fall Wine Dinner Series.

Chef Josh Hunt built a five-course menu around fall flavors and the charcoal cooking Cordelia Fishbar is known for. The night opens with salted cod croquettes topped with caviar, then goes dark with a spooky squid ink risotto with charred calamari and a kick of Calabrian chili oil. Lobster cannelloni with corn & potato crema and a teres major with smoked hay bordelaise follow. Dessert is a pumpkin cheesecake with candied pecan caramel, because it wouldn’t be October without a taste of pumpkin.

As for the wine, Beverage Director Miles Hunter and the team chose a fittingly wicked lineup: Black Soul ‘Alma Negra’ Brut Rosé from Mendoza, Argentina is a perfect autumnal sparkling rosé to start off dinner, an Enchanted Riesling from the Eden Valley of Australia casts its spell on the risotto. The lobster cannelloni meets its match with Enfer d’Arvier from Danilo Thomain, a rare light red from Italy’s Alps, whose name references the hellish heatwaves its microclimate can bring. A Chianti Classico from haunted estate Castello di Brolio is a perfect foil for the meaty Teres Major cut, and a beautiful ‘Noble Rot’ botrytized wine from the Tokaj region of Hungary finishes off the sinfully delectable dessert.

It’s okay to not be okay—and it’s also okay to ask for help

By Sponsor

Published August 20, 2026 at 10:45AM

You’re doing fine. You’re handling it. Everything’s under control.

Until it’s not.

Maybe it sneaks up on you slowly—the weight getting heavier, the smile getting harder to find, the things you used to enjoy feeling empty. Maybe it hits all at once. Either way, that moment when you realize you can’t do this alone is not a moment of weakness. It’s a moment of clarity.

Mental health is the part of wellness we whisper about.

We post highlight reels but hide the breakdowns. We say “I’m good” when we’re drowning. We wait until we’re in crisis to ask for help because we’ve been taught that struggling means failing. That’s a lie.

The truth is:

Everyone struggles. The person next to you at work. Your best friend. Your family. The colleague who always seems put-together. Mental health doesn’t discriminate.
Struggling doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re human. It means you’ve been carrying something heavy. And it’s time to set it down.
You deserve support. Not someday. Not when it gets worse. Now. Today. Whatever you’re feeling right now—it’s worth getting help for.
Taking care of your mental health is taking care of your life. Therapy. Medication. Talking to someone. Rest. Boundaries. These aren’t luxuries. They’re necessities.
Recovery is possible. Healing isn’t linear, but it’s real. People get better. Feelings change. You can feel better.

If you’re struggling today:

988 Lifeline: Call or text 988 (24/7, free, confidential)
Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741
Local DC mental health services: https://dcmhca.org/

You don’t have to figure this out alone. Reach out. To a friend, a family member, a counselor, a hotline. The hardest part is asking. The rest gets easier.

Your mental health matters. You matter.

Summer Restaurant Week at Cordelia Fishbar in Union Market

DC Summer Restaurant Week is back, and Cordelia Fishbar is in with two ways to experience one of Union Market’s favorite spots.

Starting Tuesday, August 25 through Sunday, September 6, Cordelia Fishbar is offering a three-course dinner menu for $65 and a three-course weekend brunch menu for $35.

At dinner, choose a starter, entrée, and dessert.

For your main, the Whole Grilled Branzino arrives with stewed sungold tomatoes, gigante beans, kale, and citrus pesto, while the Lemon-Rosemary Half Chicken is finished with cipollini onion, heirloom carrots, and a sherry-brown butter sauce. End on a high note with the Peach Cobbler with peach caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream, or the S’mores Chocolate Bread Pudding with burnt marshmallow and graham cracker ice cream. And the raw bar — oysters on the half shell, shellfish towers, coal-roasted oysters — is available à la carte all night.

Weekend brunch ($35) includes a pastry basket, a starter, and an entrée. Seasonal spotlights include the Tomato & Nectarine Salad (red wine vinaigrette, red onion, basil, and mozzarella), the Eggs Chesapeake (poached eggs, crab cakes, hollandaise, brunch potatoes), and the Fried Chicken & Waffles (cornmeal waffles, sofrito butter, and spicy honey). Add bottomless tiki cocktails for $33/pp and you’ve got a full weekend morning taken care of!

Breaking the stigma — your mental health matters

By Sponsor

Published July 30, 2026 at 10:45AM

Mental health struggles don’t come with a schedule or a warning. Whether you’re overwhelmed by work stress, dealing with anxiety after scrolling social media, feeling isolated, or just having a hard time—you’re not alone. And asking for help isn’t weakness. It’s courage.

Here’s the thing about mental health in DC:

Too many of us are suffering in silence. Young adults are navigating social comparison anxiety. Seniors are dealing with isolation. All of us are carrying weight we don’t always show.

What you need to know:

You don’t have to figure this out alone. The 988 Lifeline is available 24/7—call, text, or chat anytime. No judgment. No pressure.
Small habits change everything. A 15-minute walk. Putting your phone down for an hour. Talking to someone you trust. These aren’t luxuries—they’re survival.
The myths are wrong. Therapy isn’t just for “sick” people. Mental health isn’t a weakness. Your feelings are valid. You deserve support.
Your community is here. Local DC mental health resources, support groups, and counselors are ready to help. Free screenings. Affordable care. People who get it.

This week, we’re challenging DC to #BeMindful. Share what helps you—a walk, a conversation, a moment of silence. Break the stigma by being real about your mental health.

If you’re struggling:

988 Lifeline: Call or text 988
Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741
https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/helplines/national-helpline

Your mental health is as important as your physical health. You deserve to feel okay. And you don’t have to do it alone.
