Amazing Delicious and eye opening Native American Food. Bring your appetite and get to know some American History with your tastebuds. Something for everyone, even if you just like burgers and fries. I usually get the chicken taco on fry bread.

Parks & Nature
I doubt you came to DC for the nature walks, but this is my favorite closest place to get into the wild. Get lost in the fern garden and see endless blooms if you time your visit right. The Bonsai exhibit is stunning in Autumn. If you are a plant nerd you will appreciate how meticulously everything is labeled.
