What is the best area to stay in for a week-long, first time visit? I would like to be in a lively area, within walking distance of great restaurants and coffee shops, but also not too far from major attractions.

Near the convention center

like

Georgetown if you want to be a tourist, though. It not super close to the main attractions in terms of walking. SW wharf or near Mandarin Oriental if you want to be near main some attractions and some coffee/restaurants. DuPont if you want to be near coffee shops and restaurants. It’s all easily accessible by scooter, cab, bike, subway, and bus if your in DC proper.

like

Dupont Circle/Kalorama might be the best balance.

If you don’t know already, the “main attractions” of DC are in/around the national mall. But given the number of government buildings it’s very quiet on weekends/evenings and people don’t live there.

So you have to find a place that’s not too far but still offers a good vibe. Also consider City Center/Penn Quarter/Chinatown, but some may feel it’s too lively or too commercial.

Anywhere near the Convention Center or City Center. It’s in downtown DC and walk to anywhere you want to go. If that’s expensive, Rhode Island Ave has a few hotels.

Dupoint for sure, but I actually stayed around Adams Morgan when I first got to DC and loved it

So I’m thinking of taking a pharmacy tech course at my local community college.

How is it being a tech in the hospital setting? What other paths are there for techs? How much can you make? Or are there any other short certifications that would make more money?

I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!
