DC Insider Tours

This weekend we joined some friends for a birthday brunch at a new restaurant, Table DC, which was voted DC’s Best New Restaurant 2013.  We had read some mixed reviews for the the pretentiously-named Table, and weren’t sure what to expect.  By the end of the brunch, we had developed our own reviews, and couldn’t…

It seems like DC has been getting quite a facelift lately!  The scaffolding on the Washington Monument is just now being removed, as work begins on the Capitol Dome.  But what about the White House?

There are so many events and activities going on in DC in the summer it can make your head spin!  But there are a few that are truly not to be missed.  One is the annual “Screen on the Green”, an outdoor film festival that takes place on the National Mall.  On select Mondays in…

DC loves to embrace the weird.  Once, on a tour, we saw a group of people having a pillow fight next to the Washington Monument.  Naturally, one of them was dressed as a banana.  Another time, we saw a man attack another man with a hot dog.  Just another day in the life here in…
