Hundreds of thousands of visitors flock every year to Arlington for its famous cemetery, the Pentagon, and several memorials, including Iwo Jima and Air Force. But there’s much more to this vibrant city across the Potomac from Washington, DC. With 100 Things to Do in Arlington Before You Die, residents and visitors alike can delve beyond the obvious to discover a multilayered city devoted to dining, history, the arts, sports, shopping, and just plain relaxing. Specialized itineraries and seasonal activities help make the most of it all. Dive into Arlington’s history, including a farmhouse dating back to George Washington’s time (it’s possible he visited), a surprising collection of the nation’s first federal monuments, and the distressing ruins of a neighborhood’s segregation wall built to keep Black Arlingtonians out. Eat well at dozens of global restaurants along a single road, a hidden crab shack, and a special date-night extravaganza overseen by a Michelin- starred chef. Explore the booming arts scene, encompassing a dazzling outdoor sculpture program, a small-but-mighty contemporary arts museum, and studios where you can make your own art. In the heart of urbanity, shady paths wander through Virginia woods filled with deer, migrating birds, and, if you’re lucky to spot one, red foxes. You’ll also get insider tips on how to experience the most famous places in new ways, including several that provide prime spots for Fourth of July fireworks viewing (ssshh—don’t tell anyone!). Arlington-based writer and editor Barbara Noe Kennedy shares 25-plus years of insider knowledge—eating at mom- and-pop restaurants, shopping at local markets, taking art classes, exploring historical sites, attending performances, running and biking the trails, and more. Detailed descriptions, tips, and practical info ensure locals and visitors alike will enjoy the best this energetic city has to offer.

It digs a little deeper for residents who have been here for a decade or an entire lifetime, marking such unusual aspects of the usual as the revolutionary layout of the Contemporary Wing of the BMA that set as much a trend in design as Orioles Park at Camden Yards did for retro designs of baseball stadia. 100 Things to Do in Baltimore Before You Die explores the popularity of snoballs, Rheb’s candies, and Natty Boh beer and fuels the continuing debate about where to find the best crab cake and pit beef.

In this "refreshingly relatable" (Outside) memoir, perfect for the self-isolating family, Slate editor Dan Kois sets out with his family on a journey around the world to change their lives together. What happens when one frustrated dad turns his kids' lives upside down in search of a new way to be a family? Dan Kois and his wife always did their best for their kids. Busy professionals living in the D.C. suburbs, they scheduled their children's time wisely, and when they weren't arguing over screen time, the Kois family-Dan, his wife Alia, and their two pre-teen daughters-could each be found searching for their own happiness. But aren't families supposed to achieve happiness together? In this eye-opening, heartwarming, and very funny family memoir, the fractious, loving Kois' go in search of other places on the map that might offer them the chance to live away from home-but closer together. Over a year the family lands in New Zealand, the Netherlands, Costa Rica, and small-town Kansas. The goal? To get out of their rut of busyness and distractedness and to see how other families live outside the East Coast parenting bubble. HOW TO BE A FAMILY brings readers along as the Kois girls-witty, solitary, extremely online Lyra and goofy, sensitive, social butterfly Harper-like through the Kiwi bush, ride bikes to a Dutch school in the pouring rain, battle iguanas in their Costa Rican kitchen, and learn to love a town where everyone knows your name. Meanwhile, Dan interviews neighbors, public officials, and scholars to learn why each of these places work the way they do. Will this trip change the Kois family's lives? Or do families take their problems and conflicts with them wherever we go? A journalistic memoir filled with heart, empathy, and lots of whining, HOW TO BE A FAMILY will make readers dream about the amazing adventures their own families might take.
