The Weekend Guide
February 28-March 3: An exhibit to make a queen bee jealous, a free workout for your dude, a wedding expo that pulls out all the stops, and a new watering hole in Dupont Circle.

February 21-24: Scramble to peep the sketchy scene at the Black Cat, surf Icelandic waves at the Ken Cen, slurp fresh noodles in the Penn Quarter, go-go to the Corcoran, and shop for bargains to support nonprofit promotional films.
February 14-17: Watch the Washington Ballet dancers turn out wordless love letters; act cheesy in the lounge of a tony hotel; book ahead for hair today, samples tomorrow; and listen to cry- and cringe-worthy love stories.
Our editors reached deep into their hearts (and bookshelves) to compile a list of romantic reads. Turn the page for Ernest Hemingway and Leo Tolstoy, as well as newcomers Junot Díaz and John Green — and 40 more writers we’d love to kiss.
February 7-10: Dip your toe (almost) in a pool of romantic mythology, wake up to an epically boozy brunch in Adams Morgan, get down like a Punjabi pop princess, learn to lie your way to riches, and relax in your new favorite bar.
January 31-February 3: Cheer on Potomac Phil, go skinny-dipping for a cause, see Shakespeare’s Henry V, and shop indie retailers at a discount.
January 24-27: Trade up in Mount Pleasant, clink cocktails with food royalty, snap up the scene at a supercharged photo show, and unmask bat men.
January 17-20: Taste a rainbow of vodkas at a new Russian restaurant, meet a fashion illustrator, tra-la-la with soul royal Lalah Hathaway, and puff like a playa at a cigar lounge with Top Chef taste.
