Wigs + Wednesday=Wine, Half-Priced
By
Catherine Andrews
I have a black bob wig I've used as part of a costume the past couple of years for Halloween. It originally cost $25, and has come in very handy, seeing as I'm the sort of person who plans her Halloween costume, oh, approximately 4 hours in advance. Flapper? Spy? Lady in a black wig? Anything goes!
The rest of the year, though, the wig sits in the back of my closet, either gathering dust or occasionally freaking me out as I glimpse it and think it's some sort of creature. But now it can serve another purpose: getting me wine on the cheap!
The last Wednesday of every month (which, for the attentive of you out there, is tomorrow), L'Enfant Cafe offers up a delicious premise: wear a wig to their cafe, and receive half-priced bottles of wine. All it'll cost you is a little bit of embarrassment (and frankly, after a bottle of wine, how much are you actually going to care?). As the restaurant says, "1. You bring the wig 2. We provide half-priced bottles of wine 3. Laughs are complimentary." Just ask blogger Molt Be, who said, "This evening was my first experience at wine and wig Wednesday at L'Enfant cafe and I can't say enough good things about the experience. Not only did I get to reuse my wig from the Idiotarod, I got half-price wine and French cuisine to boot." Cafe L'Enfant is located at 2000 18th Street, NW, and you can call for reservations and more information at (202) 319-1800.

Come summer, Washington is all about cafe society, and every restaurant with a sliver of sidewalk unfurls the umbrellas and hauls out the outdoor tables and chairs. We check out the new spots to dine al fresco in warm weather.

Would you like your patty marinated in "diablo" sauce, topped with funky Epoisses cheese, or smothered in sherried mushrooms? Michael Landrum's new Arlington fast food spot, just down the way from his Ray's the Steaks, definitely isn't your average burger joint.
