LUXURY LUGGAGE
Fashion over function or function over fashion? No matter, the Antrobus Bag, from designer Alison Antrobus, quells the debate. Available at Aprés Peau (1430 K Street, N.W.), the Antrobus Bag is a large doctor-type valise when used in its entirety; but, by unbuckling the exterior portion and lifting the handles, a smaller daytime bag is revealed. Snapping the exterior portion unto itself creates an evening clutch. $1,250; additional, interchangeable clutch pieces $525. |
Meridian International Center Spring Garden Party: An Evening in Amalfi May 18th Meridian House, 1630 Crescent Place, Washington, D.C. Tickets $100 per person; for more information contact Judy Singer at (202) 939-5522 |

TANDOORI NIGHTS
With a menu offering regional specialties from Bombay and Goa, Tandoori Nights, located in Arlington's Clarendon neighborhood, is a delicious alternative to typical Indian restaurants. Try the Chicken Makhani (chicken cooked in a creamy tomato sauce) or Fish Tikka (marinated salmon grilled in a clay oven) if you're looking for something not found on many Indian menus. And be sure to order a side of naan - pillowy flatbread - to complement your meal (our recommendation: the garlic naan, which puts garlic bread anywhere to shame). 2800 Clarendon Boulevard; for more information visit www.tandoorinights.com or call (703) 248-8333. |
