Little known fact: Wednesday is Cinco de Mayo, the fifth annual Mexican celebration of mayonnaise.
I jest, I jest. Well, only about half of it -- the part about Wednesday being Cinco de Mayo is true. And Midnight Sunners deserve to know what Baltimore bars and clubs will be celebrating Mexican pride and culture.
If you're a cbar owner/bartender/bar-goer and you know about a particularly pleasing special, post a comment. I'll be calling around looking for specials today, too ...
I'm particularly curious about what the Upper Fells bars will be like, but I doubt many -- if any -- of them read Midnight Sun.
I heard something about a troupe of costumed Dos Equis dudes carrying a woman around on an elevated chair, going from bar to bar, but haven't been able to confirm it yet. Stay tuned!
Here is a link to FindLocal's list of about a half dozen Cinco de Mayo events at local bars and clubs.
