If you want a real event that is dessert-focused, Gravitas does a "Dessert for Dinner" prix fixe menu that is life-changing (very expensive, but an unforgettable experience)

Law firms generally don't have a reason to have undergrad interns. I'd recommend interning places that employ lawyers or just that will give you legal/writing experience while in undergrad (tons of those in DC!)
I also recommend working as a paralegal or in some other role where you are directly working for lawyers before law school. It will give you a much better sense of what lawyers do and if it's the job for you. Highly recommend working before law school!
But in short, don't stress about finding an internship at a law firm--that's not usual or expected.

Many years ago when I moved back to DC, I turned down a real apt offer because I saw so many cheaper ones on craigslist. They turned out to be scams. Reverse image search pictures and trust your gut when it says it's too good to be true.
