Love is in the Wear
Stay entertained by an interactive exhibit at Artechouse (D.C.)

hese cold months are perfect for slipping into flirty layers and finding yourself hand in hand with your beau in a cozy locale. Here are a few suggestions for looking stylish while taking advantage of the many unique date spots the Tysons/ D.C. area has to offer.
Try these date spots this winter: • Warm up with a yummy latte at Classic Bakery (that is also a work of art and almost too cute to drink) while nibbling on a s'mores croissant, for a more laid back date. (Photos taken at the Tysons Corner location)
Work together (but also show off your skills, of course) to solve the mystery at an Escape Room Live (locations in Alexandria, VA and Georgetown, D.C.)
• Cozy up to your date and enjoy beautiful jazz music in the dimly lit room of Sotto (D.C.). • Enjoy an atmospheric lunch or dinner at the artfully decorated Russian themed Mari Vanna restaurant in D.C. • Join hands to glide across the ice at one of the many rinks open in the area (Tysons Corner Ice Rink on the Plaza, Georgetown's Washington Harbour Ice Rink, the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden ice rink to name a few.) • Visit an exhibit at the National Building Museum or the Renwick Gallery. Past visits include happily "swimming" in what looks like a kid's ball pit at the "Funhouse" exhibit at the National Building Museum, and feeling like a kid next to a giant colorful mushroom at the Renwick Gallery's "Burning Man" exhibit.
Dine in a winter wonderland "Winter Igloo" at the Watergate Hotel in D.C. (runs through the end of February)
