stingray Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hi, I am going to D.C soon and was wondering what there is to do there for fun. Like this historical monuments I know about but what sort of fun and good places to eat and all that. I am trying to impress a girl! Link to comment
alli Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 When I went a few years ago, I went to Arlington cemetery & the White House. I'm assuming you probably aren't looking at doing either of these. The Smithsonian is probably cool. I didn't go there myself. As for restaurants, you could just look online what is nearby (or easily accessable via subway) & see what has good reviews. The traffic is pretty bad there sometimes so try not to go to places that require a long driving distance between them. Link to comment
abitbroken Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 You need to register months in advance if you want to see the White House. They background check everyone. Check out the Spy Museum. I agree with the Smithsonian, but focus on the museums within the SMithsonian that are on your must see list, then see anything else you have time for. There are so many different ones.

latitudezero Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 The Newseum (museum of journalism) is always fun. There also Eastern Market which is always a good time too. If you're coming in the spring, the national arboretum is highly underrated. For food, my favorite Indian place is Rasika. If you want to stand in line, Georgetown Cupcake is popular. if you're interested in burgers, Ray's Hellburger has some of the best burgers I've ever had. DC is also famous for its Ethiopian food, with the largest Ethiopian community in the US. Dukem is, in my opinion, the best Ethiopian place in the city. I could go on and on, but I've pasted a link from the Washington post below. Also, you might want to look up info on the Washingtonian's site. Hope this all helps, and enjoy your trip to DC! link removed Link to comment
tattoobunnie Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Georgetown is awesome for shopping and brunch, and DINNER! The Smithsonian (tons of museums)...love it. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I loved the many buildings of the Smithsonian. I took my son there when he was 3 and he loved all of Washington. We walked about and saw everything we could see in 5 days. Link to comment

Snny Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial at sunset is the most beautiful site in DC. The fountains (especially lit up) and the basin nearby are just perfect. Link to comment
