DC Bike Party: The Riding Dead is coming! On October 9th, the party group ride which averages between 500-700 participants each month will ride through Washington, DC dressed as zombies and all things un-dead. DC Bike Party, a community organized group ride which held its first ride in July 2012, grew to over 700 riders in September of this year.
The group, departing from Dupont Circle, will set out to complete an approximately 7-mile ride, visiting some of the city’s major landmarks and attractions with a pit stop on Capitol Hill before ending with a celebration at Congressional Cemetery. DC Bike Party participants will be treated to a live show by local favorites, the Bumper Jacksons and a full beer garden set up in the cemetery!
A map of the complete route will be available at DCBikeParty.com 24 hours before the ride. Riders are welcome to join or depart the group at any point—many riders use Capital Bikeshare.
Everyone is welcome to attend or participate. Full details on the event are below:

From a press release:
“Last night, Saved By The Bell star Dennis Haskins, a.k.a Mr. Belding kept Washingtonians in line as he hosted KABIN‘s first ever Decades happy hour, a weekly Wednesday night dance party during which every hour of music corresponds with a different era, from The Temptations to Timberlake. Haskins, fresh off a cross-country flight, arrived at the Alpine-inspired Dupont lounge in high spirits: “I’m here and ready to take photos with each and every one of you,” he promised, before posing for a shot with the 100+ person crowd – which went wild.”

From a press release:
“Delicatessens have long been gathering places in the community, a place for everyone to come together and break bread. In that spirit, we will keep our doors open all day. Now you can get a pastrami or matzo ball soup or appetizing board anytime of day, seven days a week (see full hours below).
DGS also just launched a new menu:
· We now offer breakfast all day, a long list of sandwiches, plus a new list of entrees that channel our original goal of reimagining the delicatessen experience.
· Two examples: Friday Night Chicken is prepared confit in schmaltz and served over pastrami spiced white beans, roasted tomatoes, and kale—a delicatessen cassoulet. For our flounder schnitzel, we coat the fish in house-made mustard and rye bread crumbs, pan fry and serve it with roasted beets, swiss chard and preserved lemon.
· We’ve added an entire section of classic cocktails including a Sidecar and Vesper that go back to the heydey of Jewish drinking culture in Lower East Side Taverns and Catskill Mountain Summer Resorts.
