Come and join us for a chill Wednesday evening with fellow furs at As You Are! As You Are is a relaxed queer bar/café located in south-east dc halfway between capitol hill and navy yard. It's easy to get to via metro; the Eastern Market stop(Orange/Silver/Blue lines) is one block away! Parking, as with almost everywhere in dc, is very limited, so public transit or carpooling is recommended. This is not a 21+ only event, though there is a bar with drinks and food available, as well as a game room attached to the upstairs event room. Please check out the bar and get some good eats! They're very cool 🙂 \*\*PLEASE NOTE\*\* As You Are is 21+ after 9pm Fursuits are allowed and very much encouraged, we(Mort) will be taking pictures of all the fun going on 😄 Unfortunately, the upstairs part of the venue is not wheelchair accessible, although the café space downstairs is. We hope to see you there!

Join Social Sips & Bites for our Wednesday Happy Hour. Great drinks, easy conversation, new faces, familiar faces, and that signature SSB energy that turns a simple night out into something memorable. https://www.capitalonecenter.com/the-perch

On the Pike, you’ll find one of the most vibrant and diverse food scenes in Arlington — home to dozens of international, locally owned restaurants that each help shape the culture and character of our community. Columbia Pike’s Monthly Lunch Club brings neighbors, business owners, and community leaders together to share ideas, build connections, and support the incredible restaurants that make the Pike so special. Lunch Club takes place on the last Wednesday of every month and is designed to celebrate local businesses while creating meaningful conversations around the table. This month, we’re heading to Sofia’s Pupuseria, a longtime Pike favorite known for its delicious Salvadoran comfort food and welcoming atmosphere. We’ll also be joined by representatives from the Columbia Pike Library, who will share information about free community resources, upcoming programs, and ways the library continues to serve as an important hub for our neighborhood. Come hungry, bring a friend, and be part of the conversation. 🕛 12:00 – 1:30 PM 📅 Wednesday, June 24, 2026 📍 Sofia’s Pupuseria Proudly sponsored by Washington Workplace

PawsUP for David and Brick for originally suggesting this awesome meetup and our dogs love it! -Dumbarton Oaks/Montrose Park in Georgetown -Meet at the entrance off of R st, on the East side (closer to the cemetery) -Plenty of street parking in the area -Bring water and a ball for your Aussie This park is a very large open field, that is very dog friendly. Tons of space to run and chase. Most if not all dogs are off leash. Occasional runners and kids (there is a playground), so keep that in mind. There is also a trail inside with a stream that the dogs love to play in.

Our regular Sunday meetup at the Shirlington Dog Park -- members start arriving around 10:15 a.m. You'll always find an Aussie to play with. There are 3 entrances, so wander the park -- the dogs will find each other! For puppies, Shirlington has a small dog park within the larger dog park. It's the prefect place for your puppy to gain confidence and socialize with others. There is also plenty of room to run. Just a reminder, the Dog Park is under attack by the Arlington County Board of Commissioners. While early plans to decrease the size of the park by 50% has been tabled, it's important to remind Arlington County how important this park is to dogs and owners. Here are links to the change.org petition and the Facebook page where you can get updates. Shirlington Dog Park Page Petition: https://www.change.org/.../arlington-county-board-save...
