Let's Go Washington, DC On a Budget

From the Let's Go series.

For outsiders, comprehending D.C. as anything more than a passionless hub of politics and pomposity often presents a serious challenge. Its residents and other D.C. enthusiasts, though, love the city because they know its true nature: a thriving international city filled with cultural offerings on par with the finest in the world. While the city's biggest draws may be its museums and marbled monuments, a richer visit to D.C. includes several journeys away from the tourist-saturated landmarks of Capitol Hill.

Political Washington is a whirlwind of endless press conferences and power lunches, potent memorials and presidential intrigues. Lobbyists and journalists hover around senators, creating the masterful mix of rhetoric, policy, and spin that keeps the country running smoothly. And the hallways of Capitol Hill are always abuzz with congressional strategizing and hand-shaking, the likes of which you won't see on CNN or CSPAN.

Outside the federal enclave, Washington's neighborhoods flaunt cultural delights. Dupont Circle showcases easels of the masters beside those of budding artists, Adams Morgan embraces a banquet of multi-ethnic offerings, and Bethesda rightly claims the most diversity in culinary and clothing establishments. High culture bows and pirouettes on the Kennedy Center stage almost every night as local and big-name punk groups rock their young audiences in the "New U" St. corridor. Political powerhouse, thriving metropolis, and intern party town, D.C. packs more punch per square mile than any other city.
