Nat's New Field is Eco Friendly!!!

Zimmerman's incredible home run that clinched the National's first season opener win in the past four seasons was definitely the highlight of the game for Washingtonian's last night. The win over the Atlanta Braves has every smiling this morning. The other thing that had me smiling about the new stadium was the new stadium's attempt to be eco-friendly!! The beer cups for the Peroni's we downed to keep warm were made from 100% recyclable consumer goods, and to battle the parking problem, the have e-Cruzers to take ticket holders to the stadium in an eco-friendly chic way! The e-Cruzer is an electric cart that goes up to 25 miles per hour and has zero emissions! Way to go National's! There sure is a lot to celebrate this season!

President Lincoln's Cottage now Open!


Although D.C. is a town where it is near impossible to run out of historical places to check out, I've got a new one to add to your to-do list! President Lincoln's cottage is now open for the first time for tours- this is where the Presidential family resided during the Civil War from June to November from 1962-1964. President Lincoln's Cottage is located on the Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) campus in Washington, D.C. The entrance to the AFRH campus is the Eagle Gate at Rock Creek Church Road NW and Upshur Street NW, 20011

Raise your Glass...

World Water Week will be running from March 16-22 with lots of participating restaurants (check it out on OpenTable.com) in the DC area. You can ask your server to donate at least $1 to the foundation for the typically free tap water at your table. Every dollar raised means 40 days of clean water for a child, think of what a difference- huge impact, small effort. I'll drink to that!

Valentine's Day for the Single One

Ah yes, the Hallmark-created holiday has come again, painting D.C. in red, pink, and purple hearts with those walking on clouds they are so happy, and others sobbing in pillows.

No fret, any bachelor or bachelorette celebrating their singledom this year has more than enough choices to black out and make that Valentine's across the bar look a little more enticing.

Smith Point is hosting a "Annonymous Love" party where patrons can dedicate songs to friends and future loved ones, send shots to existing or new couples, and dance the night away on the SPDF courtesy of LNS. $20 open bar from 9-11:30.

The Gryphon room will be toasting tonight to all of those who have forgotten about Mr. Right and are looking for Mr. Right Now. Kicking off at 9, the place is sure to be packed. Who knows, maybe that "now" part will just fall away sometime...

Play, Lotus, and Josephine's are hosting events as well, providing all too many options for those who missed out on reservations at Citronelle.

Happy Valentine's Day!
