3. Lots to see. I was just there last night for a concert.

Finally saw the the capital building at night. Very impressive. I've seen a lot of DC, but there is always something you miss. If it is still warm out, I'd suggest seeing the monuments at night with almost no people and no crowd fatigue.

5. K! Thanks!

9. I heard the White House is a real dump these days...

[58Sunliner]

19. So I hear, I was at the capital though. I have seen the white house, it looked good to me.

15. Haven't been since 2010

My best friend and I drove up from Tennessee for the Stewart/Colbert rally at the mall. It was incredible. Surrounded by people that have the same thoughts on politics as we do was wonderful. We live in a very red area and aren't used to feeling all of the love that we felt from the other attendees that weekend. The best part of the weekend was when we were in front of the White House and it was lit up orange (it was Halloween) and we suddenly hear helicopters overhead. Holy shit. It was Marine One with the best POTUS ever on board. He was coming in from a speech and had to pass out the candy to the kids. We were laughing and taking pictures and waving like damn idiots. Everyone there was so excited and we all started hugging each other.

If they ever have another rally like that I would suggest you to go if possible. Not only were the speeches great by Stewart/Colbert, the music acts were awesome too. We saw Cat Stevens, The Roots, The O'Jays, Cheryl Crow, Ozzy Osborne, John Legend, Mavis Staples and Tony Bennett just to name a few. Best weekend in a long time.

18. Actually I was there for the Women's March.

Yes it is wonderful. I just saw Roger Waters and it felt like a rally for resistors. Really good show.

7. Is the Brickskiller still nearby ?

Lots of beer to choose from

[California_Republic]

8. Whaat? Closed!

The Brickskeller was a tavern in Washington, D.C., located near Dupont Circle across from Rock Creek Park and on the edge of Georgetown,

[brokephibroke]

10. Seconded...

[FSogol]

21. 500 types of beer. Spent most of my formative weekends there drinking Cooper Stout & throwing darts

Closed about 12 years ago, sadly. The property is worth too much.

[California_Republic]

23. I loved the beer elevator...

That bought your beer from the other floor

[MLAA]

11. My suggestions

Favorite restaurants Fare Well, Raisika and Beefsteaks (fast,, fresh vegan options) and try and get to the National Portrait Gallery. Even if you don't have a lot of time, well with buzzing through and seeing what you can. Three of my favorite paintings there are below. Have fun!
