I’m heading off to DC for work for 10 days and while I don’t think I’ve got a whole lot of free time, I’m looking for some recommendations for a few things. I know I’ve got a Saturday where I’ve got nothing to do. What’s the 1 day must see/must do list for DC? My hotel is near Woodley Park.
if u haven’t been i’d hit up all the monuments… washington monument, reflectign pool, the ww2 memorial, lincoln memorial…
they are all about 1-2 mi from each other in a long row basically…
And as unimportant as art is in this world, check out some of the great paintings in the National Gallery. Seeing a masterpiece in person that you had only ever seen in books is quite an experience.
Its DC go like our politicians drugs and whores.
After the monuments, I would suggest the Spy Museum
Oh and get a big mac from the McDonalds.
I always liked the Natural History Museum…
Also, if you like off-beat historical stories, there’s a ghost tour in the park outside of the White House which is pretty interesting and entertaining…

What about strip clubs, I really think that is what he is looking for.
Sadly, there aren’t any worthwhile strip clubs in the area. Dumb city ordinances…There is a decent little “cabaret” in crystal city (Arlington, right across the river). The girls wear pasties and they serve up a decent enough steak.
Crystal City’s not a bad place to go either … I (vaguely) remember a lot of good bars and night life in Arlington

This makes no sense to me. Why would the dancers wear pasties? I mean i love a good pasty but their not suitable for lingerie surely?

Woodley park is nice… if you’re looking for nightlife, it’s a 10-15min walk from your place to the 18th street bars (I live between the metro station and the bar/restaurant area, so I know your spot well). Just look up the interesection of 18th st NW and Adams Mill Rd on a map - that is the north tip of the strip of bars on 18th street (extends a few blocks south, along 18th).
As far as touristy things, if you want a non-generic recommendation, I thoroughly enjoyed the Newseum (history of news and journalism - basically an american history museum, but told through the eyes of the news mediums at the time). It’s not a smithsonian institution though, so it’s $20 to enter.
Edit: I often take family there when they visit, nothing but positive reviews.

Sometimes having things taken away is the best thing for you. I hate to say it but 2 years will go fast, and then off to the grind of life.
