Off the beaten path - Take a class at LivingSocial's headquarters, 918 F Street. The daily deal company's rowhouse in DC's Penn Quarter neighborhood features cooking, art, yoga, and even mixology classes. So far I've taken "Sipping and Painting" (wine and art), watercolor and sangria, and donut-making with the chefs of District Donuts.
