There are so many fun things to do and see in dc. I didn’t include any of the Smithsonian museums or monuments in this list because you probably already know about those. 😊
A wonderful park in the city! Check out their website to sign up for free kayaking on the weekends. Fifteen minute walk from our house.

Cute and historical park about a ten minute walk from our house. (Take the scenic route down East Capitol St.) Lovely place for a picnic. There is a convenience store called Wine and Butter across the street from the park if you want a fancy snack.

Fascinating contemporary art museum with focus on African American artists. Buy tickets online before visiting. It’s a bit of a walk from the metro, I’d probably take a Lyft there.

Great casual Indian place with outdoor seating and generous servings. We love the Vegetarian platter (where you get to try two entrees). Not super walkable, we drive to get here but you could walk from Noma or Union Station metros.

Latin food hall with something for everyone. There is outdoor seating but they can get pretty busy. Get here by car or walk from the Noma metro. Still looking for something to do? Walk to Union Market (neat views from the roof), Cotton & Reed distillery (get a frozen drink), Dolcezza Gelato, or Angelika Pop-Up Movie Theater.
