Crestwood giving away lots of loot, including pianos and a “baby thing”…
free
Normally I pass tea pots, vhs cassettes, books and the occasional poster but this tops all the previous finds. It would’ve been an awesome find on its own but with the sign “free and useful stuff” above it, well, I must’ve looked like a lunatic because I think I laughed for a whole block.
I stopped by the new Rita’s located at 608 H St, NW this weekend and they’re giving out free small Italian Ices. You’ve got till Friday to pick one up. I had the raspberry:
While I’m used to blue raspberry slushies the red raspberry ice also hit the spot.
Yesterday I wrote about a new gourmet empanada spot, Panas that soft opened in Dupont Circle at 2029 P St, NW. Just got an email saying you can sample the goods for free on Friday. They write:
“To mark the opening day owner Federico Garcia Lopez will offer one free empanada from 11 am until 1 pm.
Panas specializes in Latin fusion gourmet empanadas, the crescent-shaped turnovers, stuffed with a variety of well-seasoned meats, vegetables, spices, fruits, and sweets. Signature recipes are inspired by the Latin Fusion cuisine; a culinary concept that combines traditional and modern gastronomic techniques with different ingredients from across the Americas.
The 1,100 square-foot restaurant is tiny with just 13 seats and bright with a mustard colored wall highlighted with green field turf. Serving in-restaurant, carry-out and delivery the Panas menu includes $2 empanadas ranging from meat, pork, chicken and ham filled delicacies like the Chipotle Steak with shredded sirloin steak, onion and chipotle sauce to vegetarian selections like the Popeye with sautéed spinach, onions, raisins and goat cheese. Side salads with a Latin flair are also on the menu – the primavera with red pepper, corn, cilantro and black beans is a favorite as is the jicama salad with lettuce, mango and carrots.”
From an email:
“ Warehouse Theater is holding its Second “Free-For-All” on Friday June 25th starting at 5pm. They are clearing out a lot of old restaurant equipment plus various odds and ends that have accumulated over the years. Most everything is free – save some of the bigger commercial kitchen items – and any money that they collect will be donated to the proposed Dupont Underground center for arts and architecture. More info here.”
Last time things went very quickly so if you’re interested I’d try to get there as close to 5pm as possible. Warehouse Theater can be reached through The Passenger bar at 1021 7th Street, NW by the Convention Center.

If only it was tub sized…

Lord knows what would happen if a working iron and humidifier fell into the wrong hands.

This totally cracked me up. It was just so beautifully random. Seen on 11th Street, NW.

Holy cow, a free recorded message? Have you ever heard of a better incentive? I’ve read some stories about this tough housing market and folks sweetening the deal with free cars, HDTVs even boats. But damn, a free recorded message…what’s this market coming to? Next they’ll be offering free fliers…

I hope someone was able to use them but it just seems like an odd thing to leave out. Do you think it was left out for someone who was shoeless or was it left for someone who would walk past it, stop and say damn those are some sweet kicks?
