Get your head in the game with Bethesda Row’s March Martini Madness event. For the second year in a row, the area’s restaurants craft one-of-a-kind Row-tinis—offered up at happy hour prices all day long—in hopes of winning the title of best martini on the block. The best part? After you’ve sampled contenders like the Old Peach Basket at Mon Ami Gabi, Clouds Over the Cosmo at Jaleo, and the Asian Green Apple-Cocotini at Raku, you can score beauty giveaways and shopping discounts at participating salons and boutiques. Watching from the sidelines is not an option.
