Things To Do
Silver Lyan
Visit Silver Lynn located in the basement level of the Riggs Cafe. It is one of Washington, D.C.'s best cocktail bars, the only U.S. outpost for award-winning British bar maestro Ryan "Mr Lyan" Chetiyawardana's cocktail empire. The bar, which is located inside a subterranean vault in a bank that has been converted into a chic downtown hotel, is renowned for its elaborate techniques, its cleverly referential cocktails—one recent drink was designed to mimic a half-smoke, Washington, D.C.'s signature chili dog—and its themed menus.
National Mall
The long, grassy National Mall is home to iconic monuments including the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. At the eastern end is the domed U.S. Capitol, and the White House is to the north. It's also flanked by Smithsonian museums, and its lawns and pathways are often crowded with school groups, joggers and softball teams. Nearby, the Tidal Basin reservoir is known for its blossoming cherry trees.
Nationals Park
On Thursday, June 5th the Nationals play the Chicago Cubs.
