Re: I'm going to Washington DC end of next month!

[(Anonymous)]

So this is a few days late but maybe you get email alerts or something...

If you're here in a month you might be in time for cherry blossoms - which means you MUST go to the Mall and see them. The trees are exquisite.

The mosque on Massachusetts Ave. mentioned by another person is the Islamic Center, and is absolutely beautiful. They do a lot of community outreach so they're probably your best bet for finding other mosques, Muslim schools, etc. If you go, go early (or stay late) and walk up and down Mass Ave to look at the embassies.

Things to do: whatever your interest, there's a Smithsonian museum for it. Culture is really affordable - most things with the word "national" in front of their names (incl. all the Smithsonians) are free. My personal faves are the National Gallery and Natural History Museum. The zoo is another nice place, but if you plan on seeing the pandas go as soon as they open because everyone and their five screaming children will be heading there as well. Music/poetry/readings tend to happen in bars, so if you're OK with being around alcohol go to Shaw or Columbia Heights and see who's doing what.

Schools: depending on what country you're from this may be an issue (the President's kids attend it), but Sidwell Friends is well worth touring. It's a Quaker cradle-to-college school that has (IMO at least) an interesting educational philosophy. I went there during a grad-school program on school design and enjoyed it. Contact them ahead of time to talk about touring, they let people in fairly regularly.

Food: I don't know about halal, but there's vegetarian food all over Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, and Tenleytown. For reference: Sidwell Friends is near Tenleytown, the Islamic Center is near Dupont, and Adams Morgan is in between the two. Southeast of all of these is the Mall, where you'll find the museums, cherry trees, and monuments. Shaw and Columbia Heights are north of the Mall and east of Adams Morgan. If you like tea, check out Teaism - they've got a few locations (Penn Quarter is the best), great tea and delicious veg food.

Transportation: DO NOT RENT A CAR. Everything worth seeing in DC is accessible by public transport. I assume you're flying in from Dulles? You'll need to cab it to the city (grrrr Silver Line needs to get built already) but once you're in it's walkable and easy.

Shopping: most things are expensive-for-Americans here, but we have some great secondhand shops. The number of transient politicos and rich people here means that we have stores full of (relatively) inexpensive gently used designer stuff.

Enjoy your trip!
