50% Off The Liar at Shakespeare Theatre Company

Deal Location
610 F St NW
Washington, DC 20001
Shakespeare Theatre Company
One Ticket to The Liar: 5/25, 5/26, 5/27, or 5/30
$ 40 buy now

We're not going to lie, the dire news of late has us craving a little comic relief. Cue today's spotlight-worthy deal: Spend $40 for $80 tickets to see The Liar at the Shakespeare Theatre Company, located in Penn Quarter's sleek Harman Center for the Arts. We'll be straight with you: The Liar isn't the work of the Bard but rather 17th-century Frenchman Pierre Corneille. Expertly adapted and updated by playwright David Ives (and directed by STC's artistic director, Michael Kahn), it's "brimming with puns and delicious wordplay," says the Washington Post. And truth be told, who couldn't go for a few laughs -- for few bucks -- about now? Just be sure to stretch out your sides ahead of time.

50% Off Indian Cuisine at Raw Silk

Deal Location
719 King Street
Alexandria, VA 22314
Raw Silk
$40 to Spend on Food and Drink
$ 20 buy now

In this city of backroom deals, sometimes we all need to connect to something more authentic. Swap your trade embargos for the raw-silk trade, and follow the Silk Road to today's deal. Pay $20 for $40 worth of Indian fare at Raw Silk, an Old Town Alexandria restaurant steeped in the simple power of a home-cooked meal. The owners grew up in Delhi and have imported traditional family recipes updated with a modern flair, from shrimp chaat and samosas to tandoori, curry, and a hearty vegetarian menu. Sop up perfectly seasoned sauces with parantha, roti, or naan; then end dinner on a sweet note with rice pudding, baklava, or gulab jamun (mini donuts with cardamom). Sip a glass of wine or try one (or more) of their specialty cocktails. Think of it as a kind of Washington diplomacy where you never lose.

50% Off Italian Fare at Kora Restaurant

Deal Location
2250B Crystal Drive
Arlington, VA 22202
Kora
$50 to Spend on Food and Drink
$ 25 buy now

Kiss your mamma on the cheek, hop on your Vespa, and leave the euros in your wallet with today’s deal of $50 worth of Italian-inspired sips and sups at Crystal City’s newest Old World sensation, Kora. Step past the restaurant's Warhol-like wall art and bite into eggplant gazpacho the City Paper called a “mini-masterpiece,” pizza the Washington Post raved about, or fat-bronzed roasted quail stuffed with Italian sausage and accompanied with polenta that Tom Sietsema declared was “so seductive, there was nothing but a little pile of bones on my plate by the time I was finished.” Can't decide? Opt for the 12-item tasting menu for $39. You may start talking with your hands after several glasses of Sella & Mosca Cannonau at the spacious bar, so don’t blame us if you mistake Jefferson Davis Highway for the autostrada on your way home.
