To Do: Dino's Italian Happy Hour

Dino's bar

Cleveland Park's Dino has always been a great spot for deals, from its Wine Wednesdays to frequent Restaurant Week-style discounts.

The Italian restaurant launched a new happy hour promo this week. From 5:30 to 7 p.m. Sunday through Friday, all cocktails and wine are 25 percent off and the bar will offer complimentary snacks like housemade patés and sausages, crostini with various toppings, salumi and cheeses.

New beverage director Scott Palmer, who took over for Chris Cunningham after he moved over to Enology, is continuing the bar's cocktail craft with new fall drinks like the Five Families with Maker's Mark bourbon, Amaro Averna, Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth, spice bitters, orange twist and housemade Willett-bourbon soaked cherries and an Autumnal Dark and Stormy made with Gosling's Dark Rum, Velvet Falernum, fresh grated ginger, lime juice and Boylan's ginger ale.

The happy hour deal is available at the bar and the tables in the bar area.

That's pretty funny ... but it's a light fixture! I think the photo makes it look a little out of perspective.

Oh good to know, I'm right across the street. I didn't realize they had a happy hour-- good thing because I can't afford it otherwise!

STYLE } Bar Styling Tips with Framebridge

Image
  I've always been noncommittal when it come to putting anything on my walls. Art? Photos? Prints? But what if I change my mind? Add the hassle of framing something and voila, a growing pile of unframed prints and photos gathers dust on a shelf. So I much appreciated a recent gentle nudge from friends at  Framebridge , a DC-based company that's making it easier and less expensive to get those pretty-if-neglected pieces framed and on display. We hung out at my place, whipped up some Green Hat gin and tonics, and I shared tips for stocking and styling your bar at home. (Any old table will do!) And yes, I actually put a nail in the wall and hung a print. Head this way for my full interview with Framebridge . Cheers! all photos by  Laura Metzler Photography  for Framebridge

Ever since opening Salt & Sundry three years ago, I've been dreaming of a down-home party that celebrates all things salty. With the perfect partners in crime, Sarah and Sheila of Gordy's, and my phenomenal team at Salt & Sundry, we hosted a gathering of good friends and toasted our shared love of salt. The feast included fried chicken, boiled peanuts ( made by my husband !), Rappahannock' s Olde Salt oysters, deviled eggs topped with Gordy's Sweet Pepper Relish, and probably the best fried pickles I've ever eaten (yes, I've eaten a lot) ... Gordy's Sweet Chips and Cajun Okra dipped in roasted garlic aioli. There was crisp Virginia rosé from Early Mountain Vineyards , local brews from 3 Stars and DC Brau , and a watermelon cooler tha...
