10 things to do in Washington DC
The capital of the United States of America (USA) and its environs are filled with iconic monuments, museums, parks and architecture. The staff at ICANN Washington DC have compiled a list of ten activities, many of which are not listed in travel guides, that you may be interested in visiting the US capital.
In addition to her main job as an executive assistant at ICANN, Cynthia Tinsley also sings first alto and occasional second soprano in the Heritage Signature Chorale. Within minutes of asking for a recommendation, she compiled a list of legendary music venues and local attractions, many of which are free. Here are some of her recommendations:
-
Attend a show at the Kennedy Center. Attend free performances daily at the Millennium Stage or explore the new Art and Ideals of President John F. Kennedy exhibit. The Reach Performing Arts Center offers teen and youth activities, Studio K jam sessions, and even wine tasting events. It is located next to cycling and walking paths. The Kennedy Center is located at 2700 F St., NW, Washington, DC 20566. It is accessible by subway (subway lines and bus routes), taxi, and car. If you are driving, always arrive early for the event as traffic can be unpredictable and parking spaces fill up quickly. Additional information is posted here. Be sure to visit the rooftop for great views of Washington DC and enjoy your meal at the Kennedy Center Café.
-
Visit other places and clubs in the District of Columbia. For example, you can visit the 9:30 Club, Fillmore in Silver Spring, Park on 14th, Bethesda Jazz and Blues Club, MGM National Harbor, and Wolf Trap and other clubs. Don’t forget Hamilton Live DC (at 14th and F), they have a top floor where they play live music late into the night. Visitors can register for these and other events here and find out about upcoming local events here.
David Olive, Senior Vice President of Policy Development and Managing Director of the Washington Office, recommended an easy, free walk and sightseeing tour of the ICANN77 venue on a busy day.
-
First walk down Pennsylvania Avenue to Lafayette Square to view the White House. Next, visit the Decatur House Museum, then walk past the Blair House, the guest house of the President of the United States. Finally, admire the fine art at the Renwick Museum of Art.
Carlos Reyes, Director of Policy and Strategy – ICANN Expert on Local Restaurants. With an encyclopedic knowledge of the region’s best dishes, he compiled a list of hundreds of restaurants in and around Washington DC. Here are some of his recommendations:
-
For breakfast, Carlos recommends Compass Coffee, a local coffee shop chain that offers rich Javanese coffees. Their first coffee shop was opened in the area. Pearl’s Bagels, a favorite among DC and suburbanites, offers delicious bagels and bagel-based sandwiches. Peak hours are weekends during brunch. Seylou Bakery & Mill is a craft bakery that also hosts pizza nights every Wednesday from 5pm to 8pm EST. Just remember that takeaway orders should be made two days in advance.
-
For lunch, Carlos recommends the Capital Burger. The restaurant specializes in handmade burgers and alcoholic cocktails. A small, simple establishment with international cuisine – Sundevich. Also worth a visit is Union Kitchen, where sandwiches and salads are prepared using local products.
-
Speaking of dinner, Carlos notes that the Obamas enjoyed pasta at the San Lorenzo restaurant, often cited as one of the best Italian restaurants in town. The family-run Nina May Restaurant serves Chesapeake produce. Petite Cerise is a wonderful all-day French bistro. Its menu highlights the breadth of French cuisine from various regions of the country. Often cited as one of DC’s finest restaurants, The Dabney features a tasting menu by James Beard Foundation award-winning chef Jeremiah Langhorne. Unconventional Diner is a trendy diner inspired by cuisines from around the world.
Michael Knigge is always happy to suggest local attractions that are often overlooked. Here are two recommendations:
-
Check out the electronic art. Considering how many great museums Washington has to offer, it’s forgivable if you don’t want to visit another exhibition. However, Artechouse is no ordinary museum. Opened in 2015, it is a new space that allows you to take a fresh look at electronic art. Artechouse, which features immersive and innovative installations by various artists, is located close to the main Smithsonian museums, but at the same time it is a whole world. It’s open daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM EST and tickets cost $25. To avoid overcrowding, the museum has a scheduled entrance, so plan your visit in advance and book your tickets online.
-
Hiking in the National Park. Ready to take a break from monuments and museums? Then head to Great Falls National Park for stunning natural scenery near Washington, DC. Situated on both sides of the mighty Potomac River in the states of Maryland and Virginia, Great Falls is quite small compared to more famous national parks, but what it lacks in size more than makes up for in a variety of attractions for visitors. You should definitely look at the majestic waterfall, which gave the park its name, from one of the many viewing platforms. If you’re in the mood for exercise, take a serious hike on the Billy Goat Trail, climb the cliffs above the Potomac, or kayak through the calm waters behind the falls. Great Falls National Park is open daily from 7:00 AM EST until dark, admission is $10 for walkers and cyclists, $20 for cars.
Justin Cato’s passions are museums and cycling. Below are his recommendations.
-
Visit America’s Front Yard. The National Mall is a large city park stretching from the Capitol to the Potomac River. This park is home to the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and more, as well as 11 museums that are free to visit. Be aware that parking can be difficult during peak hours. You can also get there by subway or bike with Capital Bikeshare. Don’t forget to bring plenty of water and comfortable walking shoes!
-
Do you have time for a bike ride? Washington DC boasts an abundance of walking and biking trails. The 18-mile (29 km) Mount Vernon Trail stretches from the estate of George Washington to Theodore Roosevelt Island. It runs along the Potomac River and offers great views. Another option is the 9-mile (17.7 km) Capital Crescent Trail, which runs from Georgetown to Bethesda, Maryland. Both Bethesda and Georgetown are full of restaurants and cafes for hungry cyclists. The Washington and Old Dominion Trail was built along a Civil War railroad called the Virginia Creeper. This 45-mile (72.4 km) route takes cyclists through the wine country of Northern Virginia, from Shirlington to Purcellville.
