We may not be able to afford to go to Paris, but we will be cheering on team USA from the sidelines (a.k.a a good dive bar). Luckily, D.C. is going all out on the deals and specials to celebrate. All available from July 26 - Aug. 11.
Olympics-Themed Food & Drink
Astro Doughnuts, “Olympic Doughnuts”

Thirsty Crow, “Olympic Rings”
Nosh on Chef James Wozniuk’s Fried “Olympic Rings,” made with tempura batter, tamarind salt, and curry ketchup.

Head to AdMo for this drink inspired by the French dessert Bananas Flambe, made with cognac, dry curacao, creme de banana, and cardamom bitters.
Lutèce, “Bronze, Silver, & Gold” Cocktails
Each cocktail has a bronze, silver, or gold base spirit. I’m going for the bronze cocktail with brandy, lime, grapefruit, salted honey, and angostura bitters
