The best things to do in Washington, D.C. this weekend

If you've vowed to be craftier this year, why not create some accountability? Every weekend, Shop Made in DC makes space for crafters of all kinds to set up shop at its two locations (Saturdays sessions happen at Union Market store, Sundays in Georgetown). Bring whatever project you’re working on, or sit at the community table stocked with art supplies and let your mind wander.

Start your Saturday mornings off right with a 6o minutes of guided yoga in a gallery adorned with stained glass windows designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany (yes, that one).

When it comes to ice skating with a backdrop of iconic scenery, New York has Bryant Park and Rockefeller Center, and D.C. has the National Gallery of Art's Sculpture Garden Ice Rink. Nestled among the National Mall's museums, the outdoor rink opens for the season Saturday, November 23 until March 2. 

When weather permits, skaters of all skill levels can whiz by sculptures by noted artists like Alexander Calder, Roy Lichtenstein, and Louise Bourgeois. Grab a hot chocolate or coffee from the rink's cafe and show off your moves. Tickets cover two back-to-back, 45 minute skate sessions. 

Ever wanted to get up close to some of film’s most famous cars? The International Spy Museum is now giving us non-special agents a peek at the vehicles by the most famous spy in the world. This collection of 17 pieces features cars, submarines, motorcycles, and more, plus lots of props and scale models used to bring 007 to life.
