kylet Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 My wife and I are stopping in D.C. for 2 nights on the way home from a trip to celebrate our anniversary. Day 1 is the National Zoo and dinner with an old friend. No plans for day 2. Neither of us have ever been. It's sorda overwhelming the amount of cool shit to do. Is there anything I MUST do while I'm there for a day? Any of the Smithsonian museums stand out above the rest? Or any other fun stuff? Also I'd image D.C. has a pretty good vegan scene since they're known for their political punk rock bands. Any good vegan places I should check out? Unfortunately only having 1 open day, and the wife not caring about records at all, probably won't be doing much record shopping (unless I happen to pass a rad shop and have a few quick minutes). Thanks! -Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Avatar Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Nuvegan. 100x. Get their mac n cheese and their wings / chicken sandwich. Sticky Fingers is good too. &Pizza has vegan options. Pizzeria Paradiso has vegan calzones. Sweetgreen is the best salad shop chain in the world. kylet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! -Kyle Keep in mind the Smithsonians are free. I like the American History and Air & Space museum the best. I'd also check out the monuments if you have spare time. FDR memorial in particular is awesome. The mall is really big and spread out. You can probably skip the white house tbh. kylet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylet Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 D.C. was cool. We ate at Sticky Fingers, Nuvegan (I got the mac and cheese as recommended on here), and some other place real close to the Verizon Center. Can't say a bad thing about any of the places, all the food I ate was awesome. Saw a few museums, overall it was a fun trip. Thanks for the advice!
