FRIDAY:
>> Get in your first Friday Art Night while you still can, people. D.C. galleries in the summer can be like ghost towns. Openings of note include Avish Khebrehzadeh at Conner Contemporary (6 to 8 p.m., her work Theater is pictured) and Steven Cushner and John Watson at Hemphill Fine Arts (6:30 to 8:30 p.m.). Also note openings for Jeff Spaulding and Ledelle Moe at G Fine Art are on Saturday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
>> ¡Viva México! It’s Cinco de Mayo, the celebration of the Mexican victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla. We could recommend that you spend the holiday at some god awful pubcrawl designed for the sole purpose of plying young people with cheap, terrible, mix-based margaritas that can only lead to hangover city. But we wouldn’t play you like that. We’ve got too much respect for our readers. But finding authentic margaritas in the District is hard. We think the quality ritas are actually in Arlington: try Guajillo, Taqueria Poblano, or Mexicali Blues. And we’re dying for other suggestions — leave ’em in the comments.
