Things To Do
National Mall
See the sights, take the metro for a cheap trip and no parking or driving headaches. All the monuments and Smithsonian museums in DC are free to the public! We recommend renting a bike from Capital Bikeshare for the best viewing of all the monuments in a short period of time! Pro Tip: If you're doing a day on the Mall and you get hungry, skip the touristy food trucks and walk a few blocks into Penn Quarter - endless food options and closest to the Mall!
Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History
The biggest and best museum in DC + free entry!
Augie's Mussel House and Beer Garden
One of our favorite places for lunch or a late night beer garden for the big games
Mia's Italian Kitchen
Best Italian in Old Town, great prices during Happy Hour (until 7pm on weeknights).
BARCA Pier & Wine Bar
