Go to the Newseum. Best museum I went to and highly recommended by coworkers when I was in town for a short stay like that.

National Mall area has all the museums, memorials and Capitol tour.

You can do Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Smithsonian, Natural History museum, Air and History museum. All of these can be done in 2 days.

Second the Newseum recommendation. If you are into art, NGA is nice. The air and space museum is awesome. A quick tip - the museums usually close by 5-5.30, while the memorials are open 24/7. To maximize a short trip, go to the museums while they are open and to the memorials after they close. Also the mall/monuments at night look awesome - so you could do museums during the day, dinner/drinks in the evening and then hit the mall/memorials at night.

Highly recommend the Holocaust memorial museum too. Eye-opening and very powerful

like

Ethiopian food. Highest concentration of Ethiopians outside Ethiopia, delicious food.

You can go to the Mall and you'll hit the Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and the Capitol. The White House is around that area, too. These can all be done in one whole day of walking. If you get hungry, there's plenty of food trucks around that area.

like

If you want a fun way to do the monuments I recommend doing them at night with some road sodas. The weathers usually nicer, the crowds are smaller, and the booze is boozier

Thanks fam!! Will do 👍

Union Market for a food market with lots of good choices. 2amys for great neopolitan style pizza. Take a walk up Massachusetts avenue (embassy row). Sauf haus, roofers union and takoda for bars

Georgetown is where all the tourists go and has mostly weak food, but yes baked and wired is good

Do a free guided tour at one of the museums!!! They all have docents who are all amazing. They have tours pretty regularly so just go to whatever museum you want and ask when the next one is - or check schedules online

And seconding Ethiopian food - an absolute must. Pupusas! El rinconito dos is super no frills but their ceviche and margaritas and pupusas... (its Mexican / Salvadoran). The rooftop bar in admo is nice. If you’re a lady fish go shop at the boutique in admo, I think its called violet, super cheap and always the cutest stuff

If you end up by the White House, oysters at Old Ebbitt Grill is pretty classic

JoJos in U street is a must . Live jazz band and amazing food
