Ivy Singles July Event - The Arts Club of Washington

When
07/18/2025
6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Location
The Arts Club of Washington, 2017 I St NW, Washington, DC 20006

The Cornell Club of Washington is pleased to host the Ivy Singles Happy Hour at the Arts Cub of Washington

DETAILS and PRICING coming soon.

We invite you to join us at this charming historic landmark, the James Monroe House, just off Pennsylvania Avenue.

When Timothy Caldwell, a wealthy businessman from Philadelphia, decided in 1806 to build “the handsomest house in the Capital City,” little did he dream that it would one day serve as home for President James Monroe, ambassadors foreign and domestic, the nation’s first weatherman, and the city’s oldest club devoted to the arts.

Inspired by London’s Chelsea Arts Club and the National Arts Club in Manhattan, Washington artists created their own club in May 1916 and purchased the Monroe House as its home. With a focus on painting, sculpture, music, and drama, the Arts Club provided a contrast to Washington’s more traditional clubs. It was also the first club in the city to admit women as charter members.

Explore two floors of spacious rooms where monthly exhibits of paintings and photography line the walls.

Relax with old friends and meet new ones. A good selection of appetizers will be served, and happy hour drink prices will be available for the duration of our party at the cash bar.

Pre-paid reservations: Online or send $?? check payable to Cornell Club of Washington to:

Steve Piekarec
2535 West Meredith Drive
Vienna, Virginia 22181
Please note your school on the check.

Walk-ins are $?? at the door (cash or check).

RSVP to spiekare@verizon.net -- even if you're planning to pay at the door so we can order enough food for everyone.

Zinck's Downtown DC - International Spirit of Zinck’s Night 2025 (1 of 2 or more in DC area)

When
10/16/2025
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Location
The Admiral, 1 Dupont Circle, NW. Washington DC

The Cornell Club of Washington invites all fellow alumni in Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland to celebrate the legacy and tradition of Theodore Zinck's

Multiple Zinck's in the Washington DC area.

This years Zinck's in Washington DC will be at The Admiral, 1 Dupont Circle (main entrance on New Hampshire Ave,, south side of the Circle)

Come join us in DC - Walk-ins welcome!

A second Zinck's is set in Reston.

Another other Zinck's in the Washington DC area may be posted soon.

Theodore Zinck was a saloonkeeper in Ithaca and his pub, the Hotel Brunswick, was a popular gathering place for Cornellians in the 1890s. After his death in 1903, several bars using his name continued to provide a haven for students. When the last “Zinck’s” closed in the mid-60s, celebrating the spirit of Zinck’s became a favorite Thursday night Collegetown tradition of undergraduates. It wasn't long afterwards that Cornellians continued the tradition in their hometowns.

Cost: Includes light food and appetizers, and there is a cash bar with our own private bartender

Members - $20
Non-Members - $25
