Which, unfortunately, means little time for sightseeing, but at least I know I'll be getting <em>something</em> out of this trip.

I can't say enough good things about the spy museum. It's like 11$.. but worth every penny of it; F and something... I forget. I like architecture, so the Building Museum (Judiciary Square) is something I always enjoyed. Georgetown is a neat place to walk around (Foggy Bottom metro stop + a 15 minute walk.. very safe area.. albeit a little yuppie). In terms of non-touristy things, Ben's Chili Bowl near U St is a local landmark. Eastern market is cool if you're there on a weekend, but definitely not a place to be after dark. If you like beer, Brickskeller (Dupont) has several thousand bottles of beer from around the world. Cheers, --Dave My undergrad was right outside the city, so I spent a fair amount of time in DC.
