Bustling city street. Two figures collide.

Gin: Oh, pardon me. Wait, Tonic, is that you?

Tonic: It’s been a while. What’s new?

G: Nothing much since our last date. How come you never called?

T: To be honest, you got a little drunk.

G: Give me another shot at this new tavern called Gin & Tonic. It’s got a laid-back vibe with a large dance floor, a bar teeming with youngsters, and delicious food like bacon fries and ten different kinds of sliders. What do you say we mix it up?

T: Sounds like it was made for us. I’ll pick you up at 8?

G: Let’s make it 7 so the night won’t be wasted.

Gin & Tonic, 2408 Wisconsin Avenue NW, between Calvert and W Streets (202-333-3114).
