Raise a glass to America’s 250th birthday! To celebrate, Clyde’s Restaurant Group, a DC institution since 1963, has released a limited-edition merch collection — and once they’re gone, they’re gone. A donkey and an elephant, dressed to the nines in red, white, and blue, clinking glasses across the table. Because at Clyde’s, the bar has always been common ground.
The T-Shirt ($30 or $20) Unisex tee in white, with the full illustrated back graphic and a Clyde’s 250 logo on the left chest. Available in both adult and youth sizes.
The Hat ($25) Embroidered Clyde’s 250 logo cap. Choose your colorway: white with navy thread, or navy with red thread. Structured fit with an adjustable back strap.
Grab a hat and receive $5 off an adult tee. Discount applied automatically at checkout.
Since 1963, Clyde’s Restaurant Group has been a staple in the Washington dining scene. What started as a single bar on M Street is now a family of over a dozen distinctive properties across DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia including Old Ebbitt Grill, The Hamilton, Rye Street Tavern, Cordelia Fishbar, 1789 Restaurant, The Tombs, Fitzgerald’s, and six Clyde’s locations. Each has its own personality while all share the same commitment to warm, polished hospitality. With Ebbitt House opening soon in Reston, the story keeps going.

“What is it? Spotted on K Street downtown. Just looked like a roving advertisement. Or has SkyNet been activated?
Looks too small for one of those delivery robots. Could it really just be a rolling ad (video here)?
Thanks to Harry for sending from Mount Vernon Triangle: “Corgis in backpacks. Or pugs in a basket…”
***This series features any pets in a backpack/bag/vessel. On metro, or not. Corgi, or not, and often NOT a corgi but the series started with corgis and I can be obstinate…send your finds to [email protected]
A blue note is a musical moment that doesn’t quite land where you expect. And that’s the spirit behind this burlesque revue from DMVariety!

Thanks to all who passed on the GoFundMe for Jahari:
“My sweet 10-year-old grandson, Jahari, has faced two devastating events in just a week. In his own neighborhood, a teenager, known for robbing young kids in the area, held a gun to Jahari’s head and stole his personal scooter. His mother, a protective educator, hoped that after a week of recovery, a birthday party might give him a small sense of normalcy, so she allowed him to attend his friend’s party. The two friends decided to ride scooters in the neighborhood. Tragically, as they were in the bike lane, Jahari and his friend were hit by a reckless group of illegal ATV riders. Jahari was left in the street bleeding, and his friend suffered injuries as well.
