PRACTICAL WANDERLUST
Twinkling Christmas trees on the White House lawn. Ice skating over a glittering wharf. Sipping a martini in an igloo at the Watergate Hotel.
As both the Nation’s capital and an international city, DC prefers to borrow other cuisines and put their own spin on food from all over the world!
Spend an afternoon bundled up with a pastry and a good cup of coffee, hunting for local treasures along Washington DC’s storied streets.
This is the perfect place to stroll down cobblestone streets lined with 18th and 19th century mansions, stroll along a charming historic canal, and marvel at the beauty of Martha Washington’s historic home.
Here you can see the U.S. Capitol Building (where Congress meets), the Supreme Court Building, as well as many Hill staffers and MoC’s (Members of Congress).
U Street was the epicenter of DC during the Jazz Age and was known as Black Broadway. Today, its vibrant streets are adorned with murals depicting Black icons.
Wintertime is a perfect time to take an evening walking tour. The best part of taking a night tour of DC is that you not only get to see all the monuments lit up, but all the twinkling Christmas lights as well!
