Happy Cinco de Mayo from Capitol Hill, where I joined a party with neighbors at Eastern Market. PSA: Great food, drinks, & live music at the North Hall right now.
My bartender schooled me, reminding me that this holiday commemorates Mexico's victory over the second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862 — not over the Spanish empire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinco_de_Mayo H
