Love is in the Air, Here’s What’s on Your Calendar, Part II

We don’t want you to be a Valentine’s Victim.  So if you still haven’t taken advantage of our earlier suggestions and  made some lovely plans, we’ve got you covered – maybe even chocolate covered!

  • Back by popular demand, couples are invited this Valentine’s Day weekend to visit the National Museum of Crime & Punishment and experience “Crimes of Passion.” Enter the exhibits and you’ll have on-staff wardens handcuffing you to your honey for a tour of the regular rogueishness and a lot more!  Special exhibit boards explain various crimes of passion – many of which took place in the D.C. area – delighting couples in their dark side.  $30 per couple. 
  • Because there’s something to be said for ridin’ solo, Bar 7 is hosting a Singles in the City evening on February 14th.  It’s an evening escape with intimate lighting, live music, conversation starters, a free chocolate fountain…and the chance to meet someone who makes you melt.   $10 admission.
  • Want to get wild?! Smithsonian’s National Zoological Park’s third annual Woo at the Zoo on Friday, Feb. 11 is an extraordinary evening – for both singles and sweethearts – to learn about animal mating, dating, reproductive habits and other Jungle Love. There are also eats, treats, cocktails and “Cookie Grams.” Tickets $15 for FONZ members, $25 for nonmembers.
