Free Tropical Plants - Alexandria


Every year we baby our tropical plants all season with tender love, plenty of water, sunshine and Miracle Grow. Now it's time for them to have a good home for the winter. Join us for dinner Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (Nov. 3, 5) and when you're finished we'll present you with a beautiful, fully grown tropical plant in a heavy bag ready to transport, to your pot at home.

Just keep in a sunny room and feed with Miracle Gro once a week.

We have hibiscus, oleander and banana plants ready to go.

We also have some fully grown palm trees we'll be glad to donate, but you'll need a full grown back hoe and large truck to move.

SPOOKTACULAR DINNER TOUR

Hey all....coming up on one of my favorite holidays of the calendar year! HALLOWEEN! We have a pretty special event coming up this Thursday evening in the town of Bethany Beach. We have partnered up with our fellow restaurants in town to bring you the ultimate dining experience. I like to call it a restaurant crawl....without the crawling! The evening starts with an appetizer and a cocktail at Bethany Blues, then moves over to Sedona for a full sit down dinner and another cocktail. The dinner portion finishes off at The Parkway Restaurant with dessert and a glass of wine. Finally, the evening wraps up at Mangos (WHERE ELSE!!?) for another cocktail and some live music with local phenom Reed Dibeler. We all know how I love a good party. The price for the entire night is only $75 a head! Call or email Alex for more details! hido80@gmail.com or 202.302.2325.

Also....this Friday night we will be hosting a costume party up at Mangos with live music with Reed! Winning costumes will receive gift certificates to Bethany Blues and Mango's. So start gettin creative folks....it takes a lot to impress us here at Mango's! Rumor has it that our head chef is dressing up as Mango Mike! Looking forward to seeing all of you out and about this week!

Cheers, Big Al

Art on the Avenue Pics




Great weather for this past weekends art on the avenue.  Great turnout and the crew of Mike, Noi and Oscar served up quite a few pulled pork sandwiches to the eager BBQ fans in Del Ray.  

Our booth was coincidently located a stones throw from the future location of Mango Mike's newest concept ("Q" on the Avenue). The BBQ joint is planned to be located at the corner of Oxford and Mt Vernon Ave, Currently a half demolished gas station (shown in the last picture.)

NYC Oktoberfest Birthday


This past weekend was my little brother's birthday. My father and I made the trip to visit him in the Big Apple. We decided to head to Zum Schneider (www.zumschneider.com) which is an authentic German beer garden. My family is originally from Germany, so it just felt right for October! We each had a couple of 32 oz Steins of German Beer, and enjoyed some real German cuisine.  It sure beats drinking Miller Lite all the time!! It was really great to spend the weekend with little brother and my dad, although it is nice to be back home after the craziness of New York City! Cheers, Big Al
