Restaurant week

Another local note, this one for foodies: Restaurant Week—that highly anticipated (at least by me), semiannual event—is back. It runs Mon., July 26-Sun., Aug. 1. You know the drill: three-course, prix fixe lunch for $20.04, and dinner for $30.04. Check out the list of participating restaurants (note that some offer only lunch or dinner at the special price); reservations for some restaurants are available through OpenTable.

Cinema al fresco

Screen on the Green, the annual outdoor film festival on the National Mall (between 4th and 7th Streets), starts tonight and runs Monday nights through Aug. 16.

  • July 19: All the President’s Men
  • July 26: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
  • Aug. 2: Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
  • Aug. 9: The Thin Man
  • Aug. 16: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

Another outdoor screening to note: The Center presents a screening of Sordid Lives this Wednesday night at 9 p.m. at Stead Park (P Street between 16th and 17th Streets NW).
