New Date Nights DC inspired by the First Couple
US capital city, Washington DC is promoting “Date Nights DC” in February 2010 to celebrate the Valentine month.
A new “government-inspired” Department of Love and Relationships has been created, with well-known sex and relationship expert Dr Ruth Westheimer taking the role of “Secretary”.
On offer are value-added packages, discounts and fresh, original date ideas at DC’s hotels, restaurants and attractions.
This was inspired by President Obama and First Lady Michelle who have frequently had “date nights” in the city, raising awareness of the great restaurants and culture scene there.
Says Dr Ruth, “Barack and Michelle Obama set a good example by enjoying time with each other and with their children as they get to know this very romantic city and I encourage others to do the same.”
The Stimulus Plan is the brainchild of Destination DC, the city’s official tourism agency.
To complement it and explain the mission of the Department of Love and Relationships, Destination DC has also created a special website at www.DateNightsDC.org, with five key components:
Create a Date - a searchable database of more than 80 creative date ideas to help plan outings, organised by neighbourhoods and themes such as movies, politics, food & wine and LGBT.
Date Concierge - an option to call, email or text the “Date Concierge” who will book each element of your desired date, from hotel room to dinner reservations to car service, at no cost through a partnership with the Washington Area Concierge Association.
Date Night Deals - special offers from hotels, restaurants, tours and attractions for “date-friendly” experiences.
The Hook Up - a platform for information about events, promotions and happenings.
Archives & Records - a place where couples who met, courted and/or married in DC can share videos and photos chronicling their relationship.
“Date Nights DC” will run throughout February 2010.
