The "930 CLUB" is one of the best venues in the entire country to see a live band, rated #1 by Rolling Stone magazine a few years ago. You can take the metro to L'Enfante Plaza and transfer to the Yellow/Green line north toward Greenbelt. When you exit the station you will find yourself on U St, which is yet another dynamic and interesting scene in DC all by itself. Check out Dukem, the Ethiopian restaurant nearby for some real DC culture and fun food :-)

Technically, there are no bars in Virginia. All of them must be restaurants, or at least bar and grills, but the food here is not bad. They also have a pretty decent happy hour, with a good assortment of beers on draft, and it's right next to the Clarendon metro rail station.

Yes, you can go over the Key Bridge, into Georgetown, down to the Potomac River, rent a canoe or kayak, and off you go! Talk about a great sightseeing tour, and a fun way to do it floating up and down the river. Stop off at Theodore Roosevelt Island and have a picnic even. The National Park service won't mind :-)

This is a pretty good deal with a 3 day or 30 day membership ($17), and a great deal with an annual membership. If you are not driving and you visit DC - these bikes are a really quick way to get around town. You can download a smartphone app like "BikeIt" so can see so you can see availability (bikes vs. empty docks) at the stations you are interested in. Just remember to check in within 30 minutes or there's a extra charge ... but not big deal: you can check in and then check out immediately if you need to keep moving.

The Millennium Stage has free shows, so it's not always very expensive to enjoy venue. Just take the Orange or Silver line to the Foggy Bottom metro station, and then the free shuttle bus to the Kennedy Center. Don't forget to walk around the roof if you can - the view is amazing!‎
