TIMOTHY LOWERY

WHO: General manager of CityCenterDC. FAVORITE RESTAURANT OUTSIDE OF CITYCENTERDC: “For anniversaries, birthdays, and other special moments, my go-to place is Fiola (601 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 202-628-2888; fioladc.com).

This Penn Quarter staple is polished and upscale with sophisticated cuisine. My personal favorite dish is their carbonara... it is to die for!” MUSEUM: “The Phillips Collection (1600 21st St. NW, 202-3872151; phillipscollection.org). I love this intimate setting where one can encounter superb works of modern art. There are special exhibitions and frequent changes in the arrangement of the permanent collection, which means that there is always something fresh to see.” NIGHT OUT: “Eighteenth Street Lounge (1212 18th St. NW, 202-696-0210; 18thstlounge.com). When the mood occasionally hits for a night on the town, I love ending up at ESL. With multiple rooms, different music genres, and several DJs spinning, there is always a great vibe, but also areas to socialize in an intimate environment.” citycenterdc.com
