- Listen to "House of the Right-Wing Son" and "When Bush Comes to Shove": The Capitol Steps, a musical political satire troupe, performs these and other irreverent original tunes in skits that skewer politicians on both sides of the aisle. You can see them every weekend at the Ronald Reagan Building.
- Salsa Up a Storm: At Habana Village in Adams-Morgan, Lucky Bar near Dupont Circle, and other clubs and bars, you can take salsa and tango lessons, and then put your steps to the test on the dance floor.
- Explore Washington from a Different Angle: Sign up for a tour of Washington that follows a certain theme, such as Civil War landmarks, theater trails, places where Dickens stopped, or scandal-laced sites, to name just a few. Several companies offer offbeat kinds of tours.
- Sample Offbeat but World-Class Cuisine: At the minibar inside Cafe Atlantico, chef Jose Andres concocts whimsical little tastes -- like foie gras in a cocoon of cotton candy. Thirty or more tastes make an unforgettable meal for 12 lucky people (two seatings of 6 people each) per night.
