Holocaust Museum, and changing of the guard at Arlington. If that shit does not move you then I cannot imagine what would.
DC bucket list
- Thread starter knewsom
- Start date
Since you are a music fan you should also visit ESL, Eighteenth Street Lounge. They don't play Metallica, but if you like Thievery Corporation this is the club that is owned by the band. Shows include lots of international electronic acts.

Also, trying to land a microlight plane on the White House lawn would be a pretty memorable experience.

Way back when, I spent some time with my older cousin who was attending GWU. I remember the best part was riding bikes around all of the monuments with no particular agenda...just riding bikes around like we always did as little kids. You get a far different feeling for the layout of the land than you do when you're being shuttled around from site to site on a tour bus or in taxi cabs with a set schedule.
You've missed it for the winter, but the Evening parade at Marine Barracks Washington is worthwhile. Last time we went, I met Senator Glenn while waiting in line.
Dinner at 1789.
Piano Bar at Mr. Smiths
Strippers at Good Guys.
Get Drunk in Adams Morgan and crush some Jumbo Slice.
Murphys in Old Town.
Sunday lunch and drinks at Old Angler Inn.
Crack with (former) Mayor Barry. Hopefully the bitch wont set you up.
Catch a show at 930 club or the Birchmere.
Rooftop at W Hotel.
A sub and slice of pizza from The Italian Store.
Lunch at Lost Dog Cafe.
Dont go to Congo. Real republicans (I know you really are a republican) go to Washington Golf Club.
edit: what about the newseum, battlefields of manassas, gettysburg, national zoo?

X2 to add to your list, very sobering. I had a week in DC for a wedding a few years ago and did all the tourist things, but I had also been asked by one of my neighbors to take a rubbing of his brothers name on The Vietnam memorial.discopedro said:

Arlington House and the Cemetery. Tomb of the unknown soldier.
leaving the nations capital without seeing those is downright unAmerican.

Bounce out to Harper's Ferry, up to Gettysburg, and down to Fredericksburg if you want to get a sense of the history all around you.
While you are on 95, I'd be remiss if I didn't say stop by the Marine Corps Museum at Quantico. It is well worth it.

x2 on the USMC museum. And if you come down to Fburg, we can have a few Belgians at Cap Ale. Lots of Civil War history around the area.
