DC Spas, Clubs, Live Music

I got some GREAT suggestions here for brunch in DC...Maybe some fo you could offer additional suggestions on some good spas (massage, pedicure/manicure) for hubby & I, a good club to have a drink and maybe dance, but NOT too swanky and somewhere to go to listen to some live jazz or Blues. We're staying in DuPont Circle, but will travel anywhere via metro. Thanks!

Jazz - Blues Alley in Georgetown. They have a website. You can also go to the Henley Park hotel on Mass and 10th. They have jazz/blues thur-sat. Neither are swanky. You can dance at the Henley Park. Not a great place but it does the job.

Drinks - Palette in the Madison Hotel on 15th and M..mo music. LaTomato on Dupont Circle has a Piano player and a nice bar. DC Coast on 14th and K is a great restaurant and bar and you see lots of politicians there.

Other than Blues alley these are all walkable from dupont circle...20 minutes maybe.

I third Blues Alley. There is also an Aveda spa in Georgetown. Those are always good.
