Little Miss Whisky’s hosts a Pig Roast Saturday in support of Movember
Another weekend looms.
While you may be planning a Friendsgiving to provide a balm to your soul ahead of the family showdown next week, here’s how to distract yourself from the inevitable.
Tonight, get in the holiday spirit at Union Market’s Test Kitchen with Cordial Craft Wine, Beer, and Spirits and Bazaar Spices for a festive mulled wine class. You will learn to make several warm drinks and will leave with two bottles of wine and a DIY mulled spices sachet. The class begins at 6 p.m. and costs $40. Buy tickets here.

The annual Pig Roast in support of Movember, the men’s health movement, is happening again at Little Miss Whiskey’s Golden Dollar. Chef Ryan Gordon of the Queen Vic will roast the pig.

Mark Jaster, DC’s legendary mime performer, performs Piccolo’s Trunk at the Atlas. Don’t ignore this because I said mime! He is an amazing performer! In this show the character Piccolo engages and charms audiences with gestures and musical surprises. My cynical kids saw this show many years ago and really liked and they don’t like a lot of things. Tickets are $10 and you can get them here.
