"Booking a group tea at the Hillwood Estate’s Merriweather Cafe is a great move for a birthday. You’ll need to rally a few friends (tea at Hillwood is for groups of 10 or more), but the tea service is priced under $50 a person, making it the most affordable on our list. Once you’re inside, you can roam through the estate, which was originally home to DC’s mid-century social icon Marjorie Merriweather Post. Just know that this tea service doesn’t come with any bubbly, so if you’re hoping to day drink, plan on heading elsewhere after." - Madeline Weinfield
