Head to the Library of Congress for drinks before enjoying DC’s only Wafu

The library's Thomas Jefferson Building is open

for extended hours every Thursday evening,

from 5 to 8 PM, for Live! At The Library. 

with happy hour snacks and drinks for purchase, while

listening to amazing live music, and taking in

the striking beauty and architecture of the Great Hall.

Immerse yourself in the library's many exhibits,

including my favorite, Thomas Jefferson's library.

It's made up of hundreds of rare and special books, including one from 1506!

Don't leave before experiencing the library's grand Main Reading

Room, which is usually reserved for credentialed researchers only.

It's one of DC’s most beautiful spaces, and

being here honestly gives big National Treasure vibes.

Once you've built up your appetite, it's time for dinner at Tonari

means “Japanese style” and it's used to

express Japanese characteristics and taste in food.

it's perfect for sharing because you'll just want to try it all.

I suggest any of their pizzas and you really can't

go wrong with any of their pasta dishes either,

So share this plan with your happy hour crew for next Thursday - cheers!
