The city of Washington which is commonly known as Washington, D.C., serves as the national capital of the United States. Several federal and prominent government structures are located in the district, including among others the White House and the United States Capitol. A visit to D.C. then would not be complete without a tour of the national monuments and memorials.

Washington D.C. is one of the few cities in the country with a complete team on all men's professional sports. The Washington Capitals (hockey) and Wizards (basketball) find their home in the Verizon Center, Washington Nationals (baseball) in the Nationals Park, and D.C. United (soccer) at RFK Stadium. During their respective seasons, a visitor just might get a chance to watch a game of ball or two.

The district has a rich historical past centered on politics and the movements in government. Today, old neighborhoods still exist and among which is Georgetown. With cobblestone-lined streets and 200 year-old row houses, the area accommodates a few of the upscale cafes, shops and restaurants.

The Adams Morgan neighborhood at night is a lively district filled with restaurants, coffee shops, bars and dance clubs such as the Asylum Bar and Lounge and Chef Ike's Mambo Room. The area is known for its diverse cultural scene, with brightly-colored historical buildings and 19th century row houses used as modern-day shops.

The cuisines offered by D.C. are as diverse as the nationality of the working class population in the district; one can find a mix of American, European and Asian foods. At the IndeBleu, a foodie will experience upscale-casual dining and French-Indian cuisine while upscale American saloon food can be enjoyed at the Old Ebbitt Grill, which is a historic restaurant.
