Celebrities, athletes, and press are set to descend upon DC for the upcoming White House Correspondents’ Dinner, headlined by comedian Colin Jost on April 27.
Even if you didn’t score an invite to the celebrated event, you can still get a taste of the spirited discourse at Spotted Zebra, with themed dishes and handcrafted cocktails inspired by the irreverent, and sometimes laughable, world of politics. The new restaurant is situated in The Center of It All, at the corner of 12th and H Street NW.
Here, you’ll find the menu is as diverse as the debates that fuel our city. Featured dishes include the Presidential PB&J, Winning Ticket Brisket, and Congressional Cheesecake.
Each handcrafted cocktail was inspired by whimsical political and historical quotes. Check out a few of their featured sips:
