Formerly an area riddled with gang activity and crime, Columbia Heights is experiencing a revitalization. This Northwest DC neighborhood now offers a mixture of tasty hole-in-the-wall eateries, chain restaurants (IHop among others) and bars. But for us, one of the true highlights of Columbia Heights has to be the two-story Target, where both you and your cart can ride the escalator!
Columbia Heights is easy to reach via Metro, using the Columbia Heights stop on the Green and Yellow lines.

Take a trip back to the glamorous days of the 1940s by going swing dancing with your honey. You could turn out to be a natural, which will certainly impress your sweetie. But even if you’ve got two left feet, you’re sure to have a good time!
To go dancing or not to go dancing. That is…not even a question! Trust us, dancing is a fantastic date idea. You can shake what your momma gave you while also being free to get up close and personal with your sweetie. If you’re looking for romance, try ballroom dancing. If you’re in the mood for something sexy, try salsa. And for a burst of true fun, give swing dancing a try!

No doubt your honey warms your heart. And a bowl of pho – the traditional Vietnamese soup featuring noodles made from rice – is sure to warm your tummy. Combine the two together and you’re sure to get one awesome date!
Ever been to Africa? Well, don’t worry if you can’t afford the airfare. You can access the continent without ever boarding a plane by heading to an Ethiopian restaurant. A traditional Ethiopian meal starts with a wat (a thick stew), which is served on injera (a sourdough flatbread). Make it an authentic date by eschewing utensils and eating with your hands. Sometimes it’s fun to get a little messy!
