Did the recent royal wedding leave you with a hankering for more? More Union Jacks, more crumpets, more excessive use of the letter "U"? If so, Hotel St. Germain may have the dinner for you, our tea-swilling friend. The dinner of which we speak involves five courses paired with house reds. And while the menu — with its handmade pasta and lemon butter halibut — may not scream British invasion, the music and videos accompanying it certainly will. Enjoy the sights and sounds of The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Adele and more. The cost is $95. Call 214-871-2516 for reservations.

While readers of Harry Potter know the inner workings of Mr. Potter's mind, they are not privy to the weekend benders he and his friends undoubtedly went on (between exams and saving the wizarding and nonwizarding worlds, of course.) This weekend, you and your friends can breathe life into what heretofore has been the stuff of fan fiction with a Harry Potter-themed pub crawl. Don your finest robe and stop at the Landmark Bar and Kitchen to pick up your souvenir mug. From there, the crawl snakes its way through Fort Worth bars such as The Yard, Reservoir and American Gardens before terminating in a Quidditch beer-pong tournament. Tickets are $20.

Pack up the picnic blanket and some of those obnoxious outdoor pillows that take up an inordinate amount of space: It's a lawn party at the base of Reunion Tower.
