WHO: A Helen Hayes Award-winning actress and the star of A Raisin in the Sun at Arena Stage. SPOT OF TEA: “Teaism (2009 R St. NW, 202-667-3827; teaism.com)—don’t forget the downstairs. It’s nice to sit next to the koi pond.” DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY: “Scorpio Entertainm­ent (scorpiodjs.com). If there’s an event and they booked this guy—GO! GO! GO!” PEACE OF MIND: “The US Botanic Garden (100 Maryland Ave. SW, 202-225-8333; usbg.gov) can get busy on the weekends or when there are special events, but it’s a great place to see lots of green and escape. The US National Arboretum (3501 New York Ave. NE, 202-245-2726; usna.usda.gov) is best when the weather is warm. Pack a picnic, walk around, stretch out in the grass, and recoup.” THRIFT SHOP: “Fia’s Fabulous Finds (806 Upshur St. NW, 202-492-8278)—nice stuff, reasonable, and sometimes she does a fill-a-bag for $20 or $25 from the secret basement stash!” For more informatio­n on A Raisin in the Sun at Arena Stage,
