DC Fray is on a mission to make fun possible by creating and sharing fun things to do around the city. Just because it’s getting darker earlier and the temps are dropping, doesn’t mean you have to Netflix & literally chill every night. To help you avoid the winter blues, DC Fray has compiled the top 5 ways to keep the fun alive this season:
Get social and sporty:
Make time for friends and fitness with one of our many leagues. Whether you’re into the more traditional sports like Flag Football, or you’re looking to bring a competitive edge to bar sports like Bocce and Shuffleboard, there’s a league for you. Winter registration is officially open — form a team with friends or even sign up as a free agent!
Pop the champagne on New Year’s Eve:
Two parties. Your choice. Dance the night away at Kelly’s Irish Times or celebrate the start of the new year at Grand Central. With DJs, party favors and all-night dancing, you’re sure to get 2019 started off right!
Hit the slopes! The tubing slopes.
If you’re not into the running and catching, you can still get active this winter. GLOW tubing is the perfect excuse to put on your most fashionable neon attire, cover yourself in glow sticks, and head outdoors for a night of slipping and sliding.
Meet someone new to cozy up with:
There’s all these fun things to do this season and they have you looking for someone to bring along. Let #DCFray play matchmaker when you head to the bar for speed dating.
Discover DC:
There’s so many local restaurants and shops that sometimes it’s overwhelming trying to decide what to do. The #FrayLife blog takes the hassle out of planning by spotlighting the can’t-miss things to eat, drink, and do in the District– like this feature on winter date ideas.

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
