It’s the heart of summer and D.C. is pressing play on all the familiar jams: endless days, rooftop rendezvous, sun-soaked meet-cutes and all the live outdoor concerts you’ve been dreaming of for a year. You’ve spent the last couple of months slowly emerging from your shell — let us take it from here. Dive into our Radar (and maybe a pool) to see what’s on the horizon in the capital.
