Subscribe
It's not too late to sign up for the Halloween "Ghost Roast" at Poste Moderne Brasserie (555 - 8th St. NW, 202/449-7062), which will take place on Halloween night, October 31st at 6:30 p.m.
Chef Rob Weland's menu will start with pumpkin soup and salad (foie gras, red onion marmalade, and toasted pumpkin seeds). The entrée is a wood roasted baby goat served with creamy polenta and charred Brussels sprouts. Dessert is a goat cheese cheesecake with concord grapes and a concord grape sorbet.
Drink pairings are a 7 year old rum with a touch of milk, dusted with nutmeg to accompany the soup and salad; Post Road pumpkin ale from the Brooklyn Brewing Co. will be served with the cabretto; and a late harvest chardonnay from New York State will accompany the dessert.
The chef's parting gift is a red wine caramel apple with house-made petit fours.
Guests are encouraged (but not required) to wear a costume. The prize for the best costume of the evening will be a five-course chef's tasting menu for two.
Cost of the roast with pairing is $45. The roast, as for the roasts launched by Poste during the summer, will take place in the restaurant's courtyard. In the event of inclement weather, dinner will be moved indoors to the Poste Atrium.
Costumes, while not de rigueur, are encouraged at the special Halloween story tea time at the Grille at Morrison House (16 South Alfred St., Alexandria, 703/838-8000) on Halloween afternoon beginning at 2 p.m. Children - and adults - can enjoy a traditional tea, an arts and crafts "make your own" paper pumpkin trick or treat bag, trick or treating through the restaurant and the first floor of the hotel and face painting.
Children's tea is $28 and tea for the grow-ups is $38. And there will be a special reading of "The Berenstain Bears Trick or Treat" by Stan and Jan Berenstain.
