BETHESDA ROW SIDEWALK SALE STARTS TODAY, AND VINO VOLO HAS DEALS FOR YOU (PHOTOS)

Today starts a weekend of food, shopping and entertainment at the annual Bethesda Row Sidewalk Sale. At least one boutique, COURAGE. b, couldn't wait until today. They hosted a Pre-Sidewalk Sale sale at their Bethesda Lane shop last night.

Meanwhile, among the many places to dine or drink in-between fabulous fashion finds is Vino Volo. Don't forget that they are as much a wine shop as a wine bar. During the Sidewalk Sale this weekend, you can save 50% on select wines, and 20% off merchandise.

You can also get a ride from UberDC - If you are joining Uber for the first time, enjoy 2 free rides up to $20 using the code "VinoVolo" this weekend.

Vino Volo has a new summer menu and wine pairings. New items include a refreshingly-cool watermelon and feta salad (pictured), Wine County chicken paté, and lamb meatballs.
