Events
Penn Quarter – This is the last weekend for the Shakespeare Theatre’s Free for All which runs through August 31 at Harman Hall (610 F St NW). The Free for All is an event where you register your interest for free tickets to a Shakespeare play online the day before the performance (see the FAQ). If you get selected, then you’re in. This year’s production is The Winter’s Tale.
Downtown/Shaw – The National Book Festival takes place this weekend on Saturday, August 30 from 10 am to 10 pm at the Washington Convention Center. Sponsored by the Library of Congress, this is an annual favorite for the readers and literature lovers among us.
Openings
Downtown – Burberry is now open at CityCenter DC at 970 I St NW. The hours are 10 am to 6 pm weekdays and Saturday plus Noon to 5 pm on Sunday.
Downtown – Specs New York opened their retail fashion sunglasses boutique at 1206 G St NW across the street from Macy’s. We checked out the store and thought it to be well arranged with great lighting design inside.
Downtown – PAUL, the French bakery chain, with its entrance facing the 1200 block of F St NW in Columbia Square (address of the building is 555 13th St NW) is hoping to open up some time next week and they are hiring but the actual date is not firmed up yet. We passed by and can see the outside is ready to go but the inside still needs some arranging…but it’s real close to being ready. Bon appétit!
