Monday, August 24: Beer Dinner
We can't think of a better way to start another long summer week than with the Beer Dinner special at Georgetown's Pizzeria Paradiso, where a four-course meal is paired with a sampling of six summer brews, including Lagunitas Little Sumpin Sumpin, and Allagash Burnham Road. There are two seatings: 6:30 and 9; tickets are $65 per person, tax and tip included. For reservations call 202-337-4936.

Wednesday, August 26: Meet the Parents
Screen on the Green and the Capitol Riverfront film festival wrapped up earlier this month, but Stead Park is still an option for movie junkies. The film series at this Dupont neighborhood park wraps up with a screening of the Ben Stiller comedy Meet the Parents. The film starts at 8:30.
