Virginia is for lovers, but you’ll want to come to Washington, D.C. for these great date ideas. From a retro arcade to a spy-themed night out, there is something for everyone on this list. Spice up date night with any of the ideas below!
What better place to take someone you’re courting than to the squash courts? While a squash date might sound like something from the 1980s, Squash on Fire transforms the old-school sport to a chic and boutique experience. Court rentals are $20 and equipment is $5 per person. You can join an instructional lesson, book a private coach, or figure it out yourselves by trial and error. Loser can buy drinks at Squash on Fire bar afterward.
Forget Sunday morning coffee and Netflix-binge. Go to Kramerbooks and pick up copies of the hottest new book, or challenge your partner to read your favorite novel. After you both get books, curl up in a comfy chair with a cup of joe and watch D.C. come alive.
Feel like a kid again (with the benefit of alcohol) at Atlas Arcade, D.C.’s only retro arcade. Load up on quarters and tackle old machines including Ms. Pacman and Street Fighter II. While there is no kitchen, after you work up an appetite, you can head down H Street for some good eats.
