Events on Tap: Lit Crawl, Two Beers, Oysters & More Beer

CAPITOL HILL— Lit Crawl returns this year — a nighttime event where more than 60 authors make reading "pit stops" from First Hill to Capitol Hill. Some cool watering holes and cafes help make up the 19 venues along the route: Von Trapp's, Poco Wine + Spirits, Sam's Tavern and Capitol Cider — the last stop on the tour, which includes food writers Langdon Cook (The Mushroom Hunters), Kathleen Flinn (Kitchen Counter Cooking School), Joe Ray (New York Times), and Kurt Timmermeister (Growing a Farmer). The crawl starts at 6 pm and all readings are free. [EaterWire]
