Where is a good place for a party holiday?

Where in Northern Virginia or Washington DC is a good place to host a small holiday party for a few CEO's?

• Where would be a nice place to host the annual office Christmas party for a few CEO's? Any unusual ideas would be especially appreciated. I am able to cater to an unusual location but am interested in thinking up a very novel and fun idea. Suggestions?

• Answer:

  I once attended a party at the Alexandria Lyceum. If I understood your question, they allow catered affairs. It's an interesting museum and the party we held there was lovely. Lyceum, Alexandria's History Museum * 201 S. Washington Street * Alexandria, VA 22314 * Phone: (703) 838-4994 * Fax: (703) 838-4997 Another place is Gatsby's Tavern. They had period costumes and the food is great. Gadsby's Tavern * 134 N. Royal Street * Alexandria, VA 22314 * Phone: (703) 838-4242 * Fax: (703) 838-4270 For something really out of the ordinary....try Casablanca. They have a middle eastern feast and belly dancing show. It was pretty cool. In fact, several restaurants in Old Town can provide smaller rooms to close off for groups. O'Donnell's Irish Restaurant is great!
