Union Market is one of our favorite spots in the city, and a short walk from our recommended hotels. Swing by for coffee and breakfast sandwiches at Buffalo & Bergen, grab a beer at Red Apron, or enjoy any of the other delicious food stalls.
All of the Smithsonian museums are wonderful, but we're biased in thinking that American History is the best. Check out the first and second floors to see exhibitions Kate worked on during her nine years on staff.
