Here are new ways to entertain, feed, and treat summer associates and interns.
1. In-Office Lunches
Mixt Greens offers organic salads and sandwiches with the usual salad bar ingredients, plus uncommon offerings such as coriander-crusted ahi tuna, white anchovies, roasted white truffle potatoes, and burrata cheese. The restaurant can deliver box lunches for $14.95 each or put together a communal spread of large salads, half sandwiches, and cookies, depending on the size of the group. Packages start at $180 and serve 12 to 15 people.
2. Beers and Bites
Starting in June, Churchkey, the upstairs lounge at beer-centric restaurant and bar Birch & Barley, will offer private tastings for groups of as many as 40. The two-hour sessions, led by an instructor, cost $65 per person and include seven beers and hors d’oeuvres.
3. Fresh Air and Sightseeing
If your staffers are active types, Bike and Roll Washington offers guided bike tours of the city. Groups can check out local monuments on a three-hour day or nighttime ride, or explore more of the city on the Capital Sites Tour, which includes the National Mall, Union Station, and the Smithsonian museums. Tours range from $40 to $45, bike rentals are additional.
