Monday, May 19: Gourmet Chocolate Tasting
Got a case of the Mondays? Take care of it by starting your week the way we wish we could kick off every week—by indulging in chocolate. ACKC, the adorable chocolate boutique on 14th Street in DC (see our profile here), is hosting a chocolate tasting tonight. The $25 admission gets you a sampling of all the gourmet chocolate treats you could wish for. The fun starts at 6:30.
Tuesday, May 20: Happy Hour All Day Long at Chef Geoff’s
Heading into happy hour hungry after work? The Chef Geoff’s at 3201 New Mexico Avenue, Northwest, is the place to go. The $5 burgers are served with a heaping helping of shoestring fries. And the beer? Oh, Lord, the beer. The bar tosses out this heavenly thing called a Supermug: 34 ounces of beer for $7.95 from an excellent array of beers on tap. If you’re less thirsty, long-necked beers (I usually go for the Shiner) are $2.95.

Well, tonight at Wolf Trap, you can see The Fellowship of the Ring like you never have before—screened in high definition, on a huge screen, with a live orchestra, several choirs, and soloists performing the soundtrack. 8:30 PM; $25 to $55.
