Take a Trip Around the World in Arlington- Wow your date by taking an impromptu trip around the world through Arlington's international restaurants. You can start off at Pentagon Row where you can enjoy a multi-ethnic progressive dinner at such places as Sine Irish Pub & Lounge, Zen Bistro & Wine Bar, or Lebanese Taverna. You can alternatively head over to Crystal City neighborhood and dine on ward-winning Italian fare from celebrity chef Morou at Kora. When you've had your fill of international cuisine, you can head down the street to the Skydome Restaurant at the Doubletree Hotel in Crystal City and enjoy a dessert or a nightcap as you take in the revolving view of all of Arlington and D.C.
Skate & Sip- Treat your date to an evening of ice skating at the MedStar Capitals Iceplex, home to the Washington Caps. The Iceplex provides public skate hours and skate rentals, so you can chat as you skate hand in hand across the ice. Afterward, head over to some of Ballston popular spots for some libation. If you love beer, Crafthouse offers more than 400 brews to choose from. If you prefer a glass of wine, Grand Cru Wine Bar & Bistro will give you that.
Dinner & a Show- You can never go wrong with this old school date night. Head over to the romantic Shirlington Village and start with dinner at local favorite Carlyle, a lively bistro with some full-length murals and American east. Later stroll to the Tony Award ®-winning Signature Theatre, for some Broadway-style musicals and plays.
Drinks with a View- From its ornate monuments to river views, to sprawling boulevards, the D.C skyline exudes romance. Arlington has some of the best vantage points of D.C and some great spots for enjoying that view with a drink in hand. Amuse at Le Meridien Arlington in Rosslyn is one of the best places to enjoy the view of Georgetown as you sip a classic cocktail. But for a 360 view of DC, head over to The Observation Deck in Rosslyn.
