ART: The Corcoran Gallery of Art (500 Seventeenth Street NW) is holding the first of two community meetings tonight to discuss the Corcoran’s plans for the future. The second meeting will take place August 23. Just last month we wrote about the Corcoran’s possible plans to sell their building and move, and we featured a fascinating post from “Ghosts of D.C.” that detailed three things you might not know about the art museum. 7:00 p.m. The event is free, but registration is suggested.
FOOD & DRINK: Cork Market & Tasting Room (1805 14th Street, NW) is saluting a summer favorite, heirloom tomatoes, at a pop-up dinner from Chef Amy Brandwein this evening. The three course menu, five courses if you include the canapes and dessert, includes dishes like “Citrus Cured Salmon and Crème Fraiche Blini with a Spicy Tomato Caviar” and “Roasted Tomato Strawberry Crostata with a Ginger Gelato.” Reserve your spot by calling (202) 265-2675 or emailing tastings@corkdc.com. 7:00-9:00 p.m. $50 or $90 with wine pairings.
BEER: The Black Squirrel (2427 18th Street NW) is celebrating International IPA Day today with special out-of-market IPAs and by devoting 13 of their 57 tap lines to IPAs and Double IPAs. It’s also half-price burger night.
