Many of us Washingtonians, Marylanders, and Virginians love living in the DC Metro area for the ease of access to leisurely pastimes. While we might not be able to go out and partake in all of our favorite social activities, it’s still possible to enjoy some things right from the comfort of home. Home is more important than ever and with the right amenities, it can be more enjoyable than ever. Take a look at our curated list below to see how we’ve reimagined enjoying some of our beloved activities, from Nats games to luxury spa days.
RESTAURANT RESERVATIONS → MEAL AT HOME
201 W Walnut St, Alexandria VA 22301
Listed by Sally Z Harper // 703-517-2849
The kitchen is often referred to as the heart of the home, so why not take some time and show your kitchen a little love? We love the ambiance and culture of many of our local restaurants and you can create a similar feeling at home. Try lighting a candle or two, making a new exotic recipe, or even cooking with a family or friend (virtually of course)!
Need help with cooking or baking? Try a meal kit subscription or grab some grub from a local restaurant and set the ambiance at home.

WINERY TOUR → PERSONAL VINEYARD
42485 Smarts Mill Lane, Leesburg, VA 20176
Listed by Mary Roberge // 703-999-6270
As the warmer weather comes our way, many of us look forward to exploring our area’s local wineries and breweries. In the meantime, you can sip wine with a view from your very own vineyard. Add a little extra ambiance with some chaucertie and cheese from Arrowine and Cheese in Arlington or the Organic Butcher of McLean.
Not ready to take on vinification? Opt to stock up from your favorite brewmaster or vinter and design your own wine and cheese tasting. Many offer options for pickup and delivery!

GOING TO THE THEATER → MOVIE NIGHT
7904 Glenbrook Road, Bethesda, MD 20814
Listed by Katherine Herndon Martin // 202-494-7373
With the release of so many blockbuster hits available to stream, it’s worth it to gather the family and throw on a new movie, start a Netflix Watch Party with your friends and family, or even take out some old home videos. Make it extra special with some gourmet popcorn (we recommend Stella’s PopKern in DC).
No theater room? You can still set the ambiance with the right lighting, sound, and snacks of course! Sometimes just a soundbar can make all the difference to improve your media experience.

BEACH DAY → PRIVATE POOL
1201 Key Drive, Alexandria, VA 22302
Listed by Jodie Burns // 571-228-5790
As Memorial Day approaches, many Washingtonians prepare to hit the beaches of Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. Instead of the beach, you can enjoy your own tropical oasis with an in-ground pool and spacious backyard!
No pool? There are lots of options for you to dive into, no matter how large or small your yard is.

BASEBALL GAME → HOME SPORTS COMPLEX
14416 Loyalty Road, Leesburg, VA 20176
Listed by Jackie Wynn // 540-454-1452
If you’re like us then you’re awaiting the day fans and players return to the stadiums. In the meantime, grab your Nationals or Orioles gear and play ball!
Not enough space? Why not find a historic baseball game to watch – we bet there’s one or two you haven’t seen.

NIGHT ON THE TOWN → NIGHT IN
9208 Harrington Dr, Potomac MD 20854
Listed by Thomas Williams // 202-255-3650
You can still set the mood of a night on the town, even if you can’t go out. Get dolled up, start with a delightful dinner, then head down to your rec room for a game night and some fancy cocktails. We might even suggest setting up a virtual wine, whiskey or beer tasting with a friend.
No rec room? You can still enjoy a game night by clearing some space in an existing room or when the weather cooperates, set up some lawn games!

LUXURY SPA DAY → SELF CARE DAY
1904 Belle Haven Rd, Alexandria VA 22307
Listed by Susan Craft // 703-216-4501
Even during a quarantine, self-care is crucial to mental and physical well-being. Treat yourself to your favorite products or treatments, splurge on a luxury item, or create a new body scrub or face mask from scratch. Create your luxury oasis with some fresh plants or flowers. Take some quiet time and soak into your made-at-home luxury spa day.
Small Bathroom? Consider a warm bath or shower with essential oils and take the rest of your pampering to your bedroom.
