I'm going to DC, what should I do?

Dens: Going so I can check out the History of Video Games exhibit (running thru Sept 30, 2012). If Zelda 2 & Mario Kart didn't make the cut, I'm gonna flip some tables! Read more.

Travel Channel: The half-smoke is a half-pork, half-beef sausage native to DC, generously covered with Ben's chili. The result – unparalleled deliciousness. – Adam Richman, Man v. Food Read more.

Leigh Ferreira: Jose Andres Mexican restaurant. Everything is fantastic. Get the margarita with air.

Leigh Ferreira: Speakeasy. Go to the bar upstairs. Great cocktails

Leigh Ferreira: Largest scotch selection in the US. Many bottles you can no longer get that are part of Harvey Fry's personal collection. Ask to meet him if he is there. Quite a character!

Leigh Ferreira: Get a bottle of wine, a blanket and go at night to sit and watch the video instillation. Fantastic! The museum has some great art as well, so hit it during the day.

Leigh Ferreira: Heartbreaking to visit, but a reminder of the horrific events and the need for tolerance/understanding. Go early lines/waits all day.

Leigh Ferreira: Inspiring!

C-SPAN: Newseum numbers: 250,000 sq. ft., 35,000 historic newspaper front pages, 15 theaters, 8 sections of the Berlin Wall (each is 3 tons), First Amendment tablet on Pennsylvania Ave. is 50 tons of marble.

Lisa E: Mondays are Wine Night: bottles are half price and glasses are $5. Treat yourself to a bottle of Cakebread Chardonnay and a table outside, both of which are better shared.
