🎵 ARLINGTON’S WICKED PLAYLIST

“Defying Gravity” at Gravelly Point

Nothing feels more gravity defying than standing at Gravelly Point as a plane takes off directly above you. The sound hits first, then the rush of wind, and suddenly it feels like the whole world is lifting with it. It is Arlington’s built in power ballad moment and everyone there knows it.

“Dancing Through Life” at The Renegade

The Renegade does not wait for the weekend to dance. Between live bands, DJ nights, and spontaneous crowd choreography, the energy feels like a full ensemble number. One minute you are grabbing tacos, the next you are dancing with strangers who instantly feel like new best friends.

“Popular” at Ms. Peacock’s Champagne Lounge

Ms. Peacock’s Champagne Lounge is where Glinda would absolutely hold court. The pink velvet, the glittering glasses, and the perfect lighting make everyone feel a little more fabulous than usual. One sip in and you are convinced you could teach a masterclass on being adorable. It is Arlington’s ultimate glow up lounge and the closest thing we have to a real makeover montage.

“I’m Not That Girl” at Bon Air Rose Garden

Bon Air’s Rose Garden is built for soft heartbreak. The winding paths, quiet benches, and rows of roses create an atmosphere made for reflection. It is the kind of place where you take a slow walk, think about feelings you are not ready to say out loud, and pretend the universe is sending you signs. It is peaceful, dramatic, and made for processing.

“What Is This Feeling?” at Trader Joe’s Clarendon

Trader Joe’s in Clarendon at peak hours is Arlington’s true “What Is This Feeling?” moment. The aisles are crowded, carts are squeezing past each other, and everyone is politely panicking. You walk in feeling hopeful and walk out questioning everything including how you spent forty dollars on snacks you did not plan to buy. It is chaos, confusion, and a little bit of love.
