Cafe Saint-Ex still has reservation space available for their "Canned Beer Tasting." The 5-course menu complete with beer accompaniment sounds delicious! I stumbled upon Cafe Saint-Ex a few years back when I went to catch an Ely Guerra (known as the Mexican version of Alanis Morrisette--though I'd argue with that) show at the famed Black Cat Club. My date and I wanted to catch a bite for dinner before the show and happened to park right in front of the restaurant. It is located on the same block as The Black Cat. Named after Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, (author of Le Petit Prince) it is a cozy restaurant with an emphasis on bar/lounge atmosphere. If you want to check out a show at The Black Cat, this is the place to catch a bite to eat beforehand. The "Canned Beer Tasting" is next Tuesday, March 9th from 6pm-9pm. Cost is $70 per person and is exclusive of tax and gratuity.

FYI: The Black Cat hosts DC's Biggest Britpop Dance Night. Also grammy-nominated recording artist, Janelle Monae will be at The Black Cat on Monday, March 15. If you're into indie-punk with a twist of funk, she isn't to be missed. Grab a bite to eat at Saint-Ex before the show!
