While this isn't the best sushi in the DMV, it's still decent. The restaurant is also very peaceful, so it's a great place to take a date. The menu also has plenty of options for people who are not a fan of sushi.
I visited Enid A. Haupt Garden thinking it would have some pretty flowers. It does have pretty flowers, but it has so much more. For starters, there are a ton of different varieties of plants, trees, and bushes. But the garden is filled with little pockets of chairs, and tables, and benches where visitors can relax in semi-privacy. There are also charging stations with outlets (and benches and desk-like surfaces) where visitors can recharge their phones or work on laptops while they're plugged in. You'll need to bring your own charger, of course.
This would be a great place to work outside when the weather is nice, or take a first date.
The only thing to watch out for are mosquitoes!

This is a beautiful park with plenty of paved trails for biking, running, or walking. It overlooks the city of Richmond and the James River. It's also thoughtfully designed with flowers, trees, and even a fountain! A beautiful place to just enjoy the sunset. There was plenty of street parking available when I visited on a Sunday, and sewing how large the park is, I can't imagine it being difficult to find parking somewhere along it.
Our dinner at Coco Bistro was by far our favorite meal during our whole vacation in Turks & Caicos!
Be warned, reservations at Coco Bistro fill up very quickly because it is the number 1 restaurant on the island. And after our experience, I can see why! Everything about this restaurant is perfect -- the food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the ambiance is unmatched. The seating area is outside in the middle of a palm tree grove! We went for dinner on a hot, humid, July night, but we didn't feel any of the heat or humidity during dinner. I don't know how they manage to keep it feeling cool and dry, but they do a fantastic job! I reserved a table a couple of months in advance, and it was 1000% worth it.
We ordered the Conch Two Ways for our appetizer, and it was a large enough dish to split between two people. This was delicious! I really liked the conch ceviche-- it was a nice fresh alternative to the fried conch we ended up eating all week! For our entrees we ended up ordering the NY Striploin and the West Indian Style Shrimp Curry. I highly recommend the Shrimp Curry-- the flavors were on point, and this was my favorite dish of the entire vacation!
Also, as someone with a tree nut allergy, I really appreciate how thoughtful everyone at Coco Bistro is about customers with nut-allergies. The menu clearly indicated which dishes contained nuts, and the wait staff knew which dishes had allergens, and could easily explain the ingredients and process of most dishes. For example, we were served pesto filled dinner rolls with oil shortly after we were seated. Pesto usually contains pine nuts, so when I asked our waiter about it, he assured me that the kitchen omitted pine nuts from this pesto recipe specifically to accommodate more people.
Lastly, I recommend getting late dinner reservations, especially if you're traveling as a couple. We arrived shortly before sunset, and while the grove and ambiance is beautiful, it was breath-taking after dark when the trees were lit up!

The tulips are beautiful when they're at peak bloom here! It's a great spot for children's portraits if you're visiting the tidal basin or the national mall around springtime.
