Washington, DC, serves as our nation’s capital where much of our history began. Beautiful neighborhoods, world-class art and culture, and exquisite dining can best describe what this booming city has to offer its residents.
Many of Washington, DC’s neighborhoods offer something unique and exciting residents and visitors alike. For example, Gallery Place and surrounding Penn Quarter—located just north of Pennsylvania Avenue and in the heart of downtown—is a revitalized community of art galleries, restaurants and attractions. Ford’s Theatre and the International Spy Museum can be found in these neighborhoods. Chinatown surrounds the world’s largest single-span Chinese arch and serves as the home of the U.S. Mint Museum along with many fine restaurants. Mount Vernon Square is home to the City Museum of Washington and the Washington Convention Center. Finally, North Capitol Street takes you by everything worth seeing in Washington, including Capitol Hill and the National Postal Museum.
Although history is plentiful in the city, residents enjoy taking advantage of the less touristy attractions, including the second most theatre seats in the country and the high-caliber professional sports teams. Washingtonians spend a greater percentage of their food dollars dining out than any other place in the nation, and it is no wonder why! With a spectrum of cuisine ranging from the southern comfort food of Acadiana Restaurant to the Brazilian fare of Fogo de Chao, who would want to eat in? Residents also know that DC has its fair share of funky boutiques, classy antique stores and outdoor markets, as well as a multitude of parks and recreational areas - many offering events and free concerts year-round. No matter what your interests, background or dreams, Washington, DC will earn a special place in your heart!
