You know, romance is so hard these days. You meet a nice gal and you want to impress her with a fun and romantic first date, but modern women are too sophisticated for your average elegant dinner or night at the theater. They've been there, done that. They yawn and sigh professionally.
But I've discovered the most romantic and overlooked date location in DC:
That's right. That's Sibley Memorial Hospital. Sure, at Sibley you can get top notch medical care with little to no wait times, but you can also find love.
Walk into the lobby and you'll find yourself greeted by a player piano serenade and warm, inviting lighting. It's a perfect place to have a pre-dinner cocktail made from a vending machine soda and whatever mix of liquors currently resides in your hip flask. Conversation going well? Ask her to dance. There's space right outside the gift shop. Hey, doesn't she look lovely tonight? Get her a teddy bear.
Then, as the night progresses, lead her downstairs to the Windows Cafe, which is the finest hospital cafeteria ever built. Feast on reasonably priced entrees that change daily. I can vouch for their stuffed chicken breast slathered in gravy and the baked cod. Squeeze a little lemon on that cod and taste the rich subtleties of flavor that rise to the surface. Sample the sushi or salad bars. Grab a slice of pizza or deli sandwhich. Get some ice cream or a soda to share. Be romantic - only get one straw.
Then, when the meal is over be a gentleman and carry her tray to the conveyor belt. Take her hand and lead her to the elevator. Don't forget to grab a Jumbo Honey Bun from the vending machine for later. She'll be glassy-eyed with desire at this point. Take her for one more twirl in front of the player piano and kiss her leaning over the shockingly classy information desk.
You may need to call the nurse. Your lady will be in cardiac arrest. Flatlined by love.
Sibley. Romance. Tonight is your night, Bro.
hahaha you sure do know what a woman wants!!!
