Black Friday Fantasies: What We’d Do Today With Unlimited Time

content_cream1slide
While we normally spend Black Friday in recovery from OD'ing on turkey and pumpkin pie, this year we started thinking — if we had a time machine and a Warren Buffett-worthy bank account, where would we go? In this perfect-world scenario, we'd be able to jet from Georgetown to Old Town in a split second and splurge on all the Lanvin we can carry — without having to sit in traffic or sacrifice a month's rent. And so, in that spirit, we've compiled an agenda for D.C.'s best Black Friday shopping — you know, if that whole space-time continuum thing wasn't so pesky.
