Todd Gray's Pop-Up; Ducati Unveiling at Café Saint-Ex

DOWNTOWN—The latest restaurateurs to take over the event space over at LivingSocial's 918 F Street are Todd and Ellen Gray, whose pop-up begins tonight. They'll be providing a dinner focusing on oysters, crab, and rockfish in four courses with a live alt-country band for $74. For those with children, they're going to also have a Kids Clubhouse across the hall for a little extra instead of paying for a baby-sitter. [LivingSocial]
