Envisioned as an escape from the city, CAMP is a rooftop event series that draws inspiration from fall travels as well as local food and beers -- all punctuated by the LINE’s panoramic rooftop view of Washington, DC.

CAMP is in session from August 25th until October 20th, and registration is now open. Reserve your spot today!

This month you get a two-for-one with not only a wine recommendations, but a great book recommendation as well! Caymus has a signature style that is dark in color, with rich fruit and ripe, velvety tannins – as approachable in youth as in maturity. They farm Cabernet grapes in eight of Napa’s 16 sub-appellations, with diversification enabling them to make the best possible wine in a given year. Their Cabernet offers layered, lush aromas and flavors, including cocoa, cassis, and ripe dark berries. Pair it with "Birdsong" by Sebastian Faulks and you're in for a real treat for the mind and the palate.

 

For almost nine decades, visiting guests, future presidents, senators, staffers, and stars have all called Martin’s Tavern their home away from home. It’s where JFK proposed to Jackie, where former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright once told Billy Martin over dinner that she thinks of Martin’s as an extension of her living room, and where baseball greats including Mickey Mantle, Ty Cobb, and Yogi Berra dined in the “Dugout Room.” Every U.S. president from Harry S. Truman to George W. Bush, has come to dine, discuss, and relax while shaping the nation’s history. Marc's favorite is the buttery lobster roll. Give it a try - you won't be disappointed!
