Another exciting day in Old Town

Danielle was in town this weekend for the foreign service exam, and I was delighted she chose to stick around after the exam ended for a day filled with adventure and a night filled with fun!

Remember when I told you about the Old Town Theater? It's one of the longest operating theaters in the DC metro area, and patrons to the theater enjoy a new feature film in a theater that's a throwback to the past. It's quite an experience, and Dani and I were in the mood for an adventure. I tried to take pictures inside the theater, but I didn't have much time before the movie started and I had a hard time getting the colors to be a true depiction of the old-school theater. Not that I should've worried much about hurrying... we were the only two in the theater for the first 20 minutes or so. Well.... unless you consider the pigeons (or I'm sure some would say ghost sounds - not me) coming from the ceiling company. :)


We were wanting food after the movie, but couldn't find anything we were both dying to eat. In our meandering search for food, we stumbled upon this incredible vintage cocktail shop. Dani and I were both in love with the store from first glance.

  

The shop is the product of one woman's years of collecting. Obviously, they've added more than just her personal collection now, including some new stuff in addition to the wide variety of cocktail, jewelry, and silver from the 20s-now (mostly 20s and 70s). The prices were actually surprisingly reasonable, and I will be going back to check on my vintage bracelet until I can't resist it anymore.


  

  

Danielle's personal favorite was this cute little plate from the 60s(my guess). It was a medium size plate embellished with a quirky camel wearing converse sneakers. It was on the lower level, and I wasn't as bold about taking pictures in front of the store clerks.

  

What I left the store desiring, though, was the upstairs studio apartment. This kitchen would be so perfect, and the living area looks out on downtown. Uh..... I WANT it!!!!!!!!!

 

Even the vending machine in the parking garage was a throwback to the old days! Such a fun day!
