etc. fame. Ian Hilton told
Arlington magazine there was
going to be “a pizza concept” i n
the space, which I’d wager is
Andy’s Pizza, since they’re
supplying the slices at the new
Echo Park in Shaw.

happy hour from 8 Q: I’m recently separated and
looking to get back into dating.
There seems to be a lot of singles
nightlife (bars, live music) in
maryland and D.C., but what
about Northern Virginia?
a: I was talking about your
question with friend and
frequent collaborator Lisa

Bonos, who is our dating and

relationships expert. our joint

take is that you don’t want to

think about “singles nightlife”

versus “nightlife.” Every bar is a

potential singles bar, honestly,

especially because so much of

the dating/meeting has moved

online.

If you’re looking to meet

people IrL, you might want to

try a meetup or similar group,

i.e. if you’re a runner, try going

on a fun run sponsored by Pacers

in Clarendon or the weekly

Joggers and Lagers at Port City

Brewing, both of which have a

post-run social component.

That’s not to say there isn’t life

in bars: Go to the renegade (the

former mister Days) to hear a

cover band or head to Bracket

room for a “Bachelor” s creening

and mix-and-mingle. But it’s

harder to say, “oh, this is a

singles bar” t han it used to be.
