For the crafty child in your house, the Tudor House is hosting a card-making event on Valentine’s Day, that also requires advance registration:

*(Ages 5 – 15)*
Sunday, February 14 | 10:00 – 11:00 a.m.
Create your own Valentine’s Day card for someone special! Children become
history detectives as they tour the historic mansion in search of
Valentine’s Day cards from years past. After the tour, children design their
own Valentine cards to take home. Historic Valentine’s Day cards from the
Tudor Place archive will serve as an inspiration for their creations.
Member Children: $7 | Nonmember Children: $10 | Adult Chaperones: Free

If you are thinking of a date night with your beloved, a top 3 favorite restaurant in my house for date night – note also good enough for an Obama Date Night – is Bluck Duck Tavern. I admit,  being a snob, I was once adamantly opposed to eating in restaurants attached to hotels, but for the higher end hotels, that line of thinking is really passe. Note also an older post here on J&G Steakhouse in the W Hotel. Recently, my husband and I dined at Black Market Bistro in Garret Park, behind Strathmore, and it was a lovely meal and fabulous atmosphere. Another BB just checked out new-on-the-scene Bibiana on New York Ave and she raved about it – both the food and romantic atmosphere.

And babes, some advice, if your Valentine isn’t so good at planning ahead, then just go book your reservations today so you can still have a nice night out – don’t sit around and hope this year will be different and then end up pissed off when it’s not. Not worth it!
