Date Week: The Speakeasy

Feb 10, 2010

If you can’t find a date for Valentine’s Day, don’t be ashamed.  Being single is no reason to miss out on the fun.  Simply grab your party shoes, a few single girlfriends and head out on the town.  

If you’re looking for a quiet place to have a quality cocktail and a little girl talk, there’s no place better than one of the city’s darkened speakeasies.  

If you want to make a night of it on U Street, try Gibson’s.  If you prefer a bar on the other side of the bridge, you can visit expert Mixologist Todd Thrasher at PX Lounge. (Todd’s the best, he makes his own bitters. Seriously, who does that?)  And if none of these appeal to you, the overflow bar at the W Hotel has a speakeasy like quality and one hell of a view.

These fine establishments provide the perfect opportunity to sip a cocktail, share a laugh and celebrate your singledom.  After all, why should the couples have all of the fun?

Happy Hour: Atlantic Beach Pie

There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t.  And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative.  So if you’re a “birthday pie” eater with a late summer celebration coming up, may I […]

The Find: The Only Wire-Free Bra That Didn’t Fail Me

After Sloane was born, I developed a seething hatred for underwire bras.  The trouble was that I had also developed a larger, slightly droopier bust.  It was a cruel irony.

The 2010s Trends I’m Loving and Leaving Behind

Our tween and teen nieces spent the first half of 2023 reviving our high school fashions.  From peasant tops to low rises, I felt like I was back bopping to N’SYNC in my mint-green sedan for a minute.  Now, our 20-something direct reports are bringing back the 2010s in a big way, and I am […]
