Celebrate Cinco de Mayo Tonight

Express!YES, YES, YES, traditionally, the commemoration of Mexico's 1862 victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla comes on May 5 ... hence Cinco de Mayo. But that doesn't mean you can't stretch the celebration of French Gen. Charles Ferdinand Latrille de Lorencez's strategic blunder out over four days.

Join Express this evening at Regional Food & Drink on 7th Street NW in Gallery Place-Chinatown-Verizonville starting at 5 p.m. If you get there on the early side, you'll get first dibs on the appetizer buffet, giveaways and cheap beer.

» Miller Lite drafts are $1 until the first keg is consumed. Then they're $2 per draft.
» Margaritas are $3.
» There'll be a raffle for a free trip anywhere JetBlue Airways flies.

Express' co-sponsor is Lindy Promotions.

» RFD, 810 7th St. NW, 202-289-2030, 5-8 p.m. (Gallery Place-Chinatown)

  • 5 de Mayo is not a Mexican holiday. It's a Poblano holiday, and it's a lame excuse to celebrate.

    We beat the French in Puebla y un an~o despues regresaron y nos hicieron picadillo.
