First Thursday is right around the corner!

How do you know Spring is officially here and Summer is on the way? First Thursdays in Del Ray, of course!! The theme this week is Kids and Kanines. At FireFlies, we are ready to party down! We have not one, but TWO bands lined up to play on Thursday from 6-9pm- Tim Parks AND Brainfang. It'll be a lot of fun!

What's up with the big, giant monkey and all those sunglasses?

So, if you've been into the restaurant lately, you've probably noticed our big, giant monkey. He was a gift from a local passerby who was looking to give the monkey a new home. We thought our little patrons would enjoy playing with him.. and well, now he seems to have become somewhat of a mascot at the restaurant. Feel free to give him a hug, a flick on his crazy, pointed nose, or whatever.. but please give him some love...

And those shades? Well, we have a west-facing building with LARGE windows that stare right into the sun. While sunset is beautiful, it can be a little bright while trying to gaze into the eyes of a loved one over some tasty food. So, we thought we'd offer some sunglasses while the sun sets for the night. We have some silly ones, some more traditional styles, some groovy 80s-style ones, and crazy star-shaped ones for the kiddies. Please enjoy them while at the restaurant, but leave them for others to enjoy.

Got some old shades you want to get rid of?? Donate them to the FireFlies Sunglasses Fund!!

Coming to Brunch?

Our Brunch was reviewed yesterday in the Washington Post. Our Brunch, according to the Post, is worth getting out of bed for! It's a pretty great review and we are really excited about it. If you haven't been in for Brunch, what are you waiting for? It's not for the weak at heart- it's a loud, rowdy Bluegrass Brunch full of great music and even better food!
