Cherry in the Air at Mari Vanna
When: March 20 - April 12
Where: 1141 Connecticut Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20036
Why: Washington's Cherry Blossoms have yet to brighten the Tidal Basin, but Washingtonians can get a head start on the spring tradition with a sweet selection of cherry-themed offerings at Russian restaurant Mari Vanna.

Bloom enthusiasts looking for an extra kick can enjoy a house-infused $5 Cherry Blossom Shot, to add a little blush to their cheeks.
