You’ve had a full week back at school to get back into the swing of things after Thanksgiving break. Now, get back out into the city for some museum and show-hopping. 

– Celebrate the release of “Skyfall” with the International Spy Museum’s latest exhibit, “Exquisitely Evil: 50 Years of Bond Villains,” which features artifacts from the illustrious James Bond franchise.

–  The trek to Fairfax, Va.’s Patriot Center is well worth it to catch rock virtuosos Neil Young and Patti Smith perform Friday, Nov. 30. The singer-songwriters were icons of the 1970s, proving to be two of the most influential rock artists to date.

– Your’e never too old – or too manly – for “The Nutcracker.” Presented by The Washington Ballet at the Warner Theatre, the holiday classic runs until Dec. 23.
