Things To Do
Swingers
The Vibe: A high-energy, indoor "crazy golf" club in Dupont Circle featuring gourmet street food and specialty cocktails. Fun Fact: We spent one of our first dates here. It’s the perfect place to see if your partner is a graceful winner (or a sore loser!).
Lucky Strike Arlington
The Vibe: A lively, modern bowling alley that’s great for groups. Fun Fact: This was the site of our very first date! We’ve traded the bowling shoes for wedding shoes, but this place will always be where it all began.
National Museum of African American History and Culture
The Vibe: An iconic and powerful museum on the National Mall. It’s a must-visit for the history, the architecture, and the Sweet Home Café. Fun Fact: This museum is extra special to us, you can actually find John’s Dad featured in one of the exhibits!* Note: Remember to grab your free timed-entry passes online well in advance.
SHĹŚTĹŚ Washington DC
The Vibe: A high-energy, ultra-sleek spot where contemporary Japanese flavors meet a sophisticated, "see-and-be-seen" atmosphere. Between the central DJ and the open robata grill, it’s our go-to for a glamorous night out in the city. The Memory: While we didn’t make it official here, SHOTO holds a special place in our hearts. We had one of our most memorable dates here early on, and we still talk about the food and the energy of that night!
