W. Fries. The auction also features several circus posters promoting Hagenbeck’s Tierpark (Zoo) in Germany, Barnum & Bailey Circus posters, travel posters, and a weathervane from Nantucket folk artist, Mark A. Perry.

Washington Monument
“I was summoned by my country, whose voice I can never hear but with veneration and love.”
– George Washington
The Washington Monument is officially open to the public now! Starting today, the popular landmark will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week with new safety and cleaning protocols to keep employees and visitors protected from the spread of infectious diseases. Tickets to the monument are available online at recreation.gov (tickets are not going to be given away in person due to social distancing guidelines.)
Tickets become available daily at 10 a.m. for the next day’s visit, each ticket is good for up to four people in a group traveling together, and there is a non-refundable reservation fee of $1.50 per ticket.
New safety features include timed ticketing, limited entries, significantly reduced elevator capacity, touchless check-in, touchless hand sanitizer dispensers throughout the monument, and closing each day from 1 to 2 p.m. for cleaning and disinfecting using antiviral disinfectant cleaners.
According to Mount Vernon records, George Washington often purchased bushels of oysters to be prepared for his family’s table (in fact, several oyster recipes are available on their website). Oysters and a visit to the Washington Monument sounds like a good idea to us!

Picnic In The Park
Thanks to a partnership between Montgomery Parks and Visit Montgomery, you now have even more opportunities to enjoy a picnic in the park!
Picnic in the Park, an initiative to support local restaurants affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, allows restaurant customers to legally consume alcohol in designated areas within 9 selected parks.
Fresh air, great food, and perhaps a cold beverage is a great way to escape the stresses of working from home, and a perfect solution for a socially distant happy hour to catch up with friends! Learn more about Montgomery County’s Picnic in the Parks here.
Thank You For Trusting Us
In addition to the steps above, we’ve made recent improvements to our indoor dining rooms. We have increased the amount of outside air being circulated in our restaurants so that at no time during the day is there less than 35% outside air moving in through our HVAC system. This level exceeds the compliance requirements set forth by ANSI/ASHRAE*standards.
We are switching out our air filters from MERV-8 to MERV-13 filters which will, again, also exceed compliance requirements. MERV refers to the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Values. These filters are typically used for hospitals and are the most efficient commercially available. Our HVAC systems are also meticulously maintained. Safety is our top concern!
*American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standards 62.1 and 62.2 (ASHRAE 2019a, 2019b), which include requirements for outdoor air ventilation in most residential and non-residential spaces.
CarCare To Go
Crab cakes and car repair aren’t the most obvious pairing. But that hasn’t stopped two of DC’s most storied brands – Clyde’s and Ourisman — from getting together to save you time, money, and keep you safe.
Through our new CarCare To Go offering, you can get your car maintained or repaired without leaving home. Service valets pick up your vehicle at home or office, bring it to an Ourisman dealership service center and return it when the repair or maintenance is done. There’s no charge for the valet this month, and you also get a complimentary virus-killing treatment with each appointment.
Now here’s where the crab cakes come in. A $25 gift certificate to Clyde’s comes with every CarCare appointment. Redeem it at any Clyde’s location, Old Ebbitt Grill, or The Hamilton, now through the end of 2020. There’s plenty of seating both inside and out, spaced with safety and social distancing in mind. Dine-in or call for curbside pickup at any Clyde’s Restaurant Group location.
Schedule today at CarCare To Go and use the coupon code CLYDESCARCARE to claim your Clyde’s discount.

Outdoor Dining
See You in September
KNOCK. ON. WOOD. We may have back-to-school on the brain, but the upcoming forecast reads like a straight-A report card! Day after day of perfect weather. Thank you, Mother Nature. We needed this. (We deserve this!)
I’m seeing early evenings sipping rosé, leisurely weekend brunches, bike rides and a picnic lunch, and late dinners after a day of yard work. Like many of you, we have been grasping onto the silver linings of 2020…lots of family time, discovering new interests, dusting off old hobbies, and of course, puzzles, so many puzzles.
Another bright side of this year’s many “pivots” has been the various jurisdictions providing opportunities to take advantage of outdoor space.
In Georgetown, the neighborhood BID has created “streeteries.” Savor heavenly bites of halibut sprinkled with buttery Castelvetrano olives as the historic district’s inertia hums around you, or read the Sunday paper over Eggs Benedict and a Bloody Mary as classic as they come, and a wave of normalcy may even pass over you.
As for our other locations: Clyde’s of Gallery Place has been allowed to set up outdoor seating under canopy tents in the courtyard between Clyde’s and Capital One Arena. Take a walk to the nearby National Building Museum and check out the Murals That Matter art exhibit to see some of the murals local artists initially displayed on & around Clyde’s.
Also in DC, The Hamilton has expanded as well and now offers outdoor seating on the sidewalks along F & 14th Streets. Experience Downtown DC like never before!
Up the road, Clyde’s of Chevy Chase’s existing outdoor patio and bar is in full bloom and they recently added additional tables & umbrellas along the wide bustling neighborhood sidewalk. Head up to Rockville, and you’ll find a serene setting at Clyde’s Tower Oaks. Stroll past the koi pond to discover new outdoor porch seating and a spacious tent adjacent to the restaurant.
If you are out & about in Alexandria, stop by Clyde’s at Mark Center which now has tented outdoor seating (and did you hear, oyster happy hour?!). Clyde’s of Reston is a perennial favorite for outdoor dining, and new this year: reservations! Click below! Biased, yes- but we find it hard to think of a better patio setting than Clyde’s Willow Creek Farm’s terrace. Enjoy brunch, lunch, or dinner with generously spaced tables, a calming fountain, luscious gardens, and a shaded pergola.
You have been a rough one, 2020. This upcoming weather, though; we’ll take it. Stay safe, friends.
(Willow Creek Farm does not accept outdoor dining reservations)
- You’re my lobster.At Clyde’s, we take our ingredients seriously, and we’re proud to serve lobster from Douty Brothers Seafood in Portland, Maine. Our Commitment to Better means quality you can taste, and our freshly caught Maine lobster is just one way we bring that commitment to our customers. Started by Dick and Doug Douty in 1980, Douty…
- Aw, Shucks: Clyde’s Restaurant Group’s Oyster ProgramWhen the Old Ebbitt Grill reopened at its current location in October of 1983, oysters were sold on the half shell. The only oysters served back then were Blue Point oysters, harvested from Long Island Sound off the coast of Connecticut. Shipped in non-descript boxes, these oysters were the norm for all serving oysters in…
