Pick up a Washington City... by kthorn
Pick up a Washington City Paper. There is so much to see and do in DC. Great restaurants, free museums, wonderful used bookstores, quirky shops, fun bars and clubs...I could go on and on. The Washington City Paper is free and the best source to find cool things to do (like the natives do).One of the best things to do is walk the city. Bring a good comfortable pair of walking shoes. When I lived there, my favourite DC activity was to take the Metro to Union Station, grab a bite to eat there, walk over to the Capitol, down the Mall, visit one of the many Smithsonion Museums, walk up to Metro Center & hop on the Metro again, ride up to Dupont Circle then walk to Adam's Morgan, hit some used book stores, walk back to Dupont, grab dinner, see a film in the off beat theatre there, then take the Metro back home. What a way to spend the day.
